We only stayed for one night, but this place was such a charming find. It’s an older building, which gave it so much character. Inside, everything was clean, cozy, and well maintained. Check-in was easy, and the space had everything we needed, even for a short stay. We didn’t use the kitchen much, but it looked well stocked and ready for a longer visit. Overall, a lovely little spot, and we’d be happy to stay again if we’re back in the area!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the charm and character of the home and found everything clean and comfortable. We’d be delighted to host you again anytime you’re back in the area! -Rowe House Rentals Team
Great spot to stay as we were visiting Columbus with friends for the UT vs OSU football game. Conveniently located to many bars and restaurants. Just a short walk to the Kroger also for supplies if needed. The host communicated well and the home came stocked with plenty of towels, toilet paper, coffee items, and more. I would definitely recommend!

We were in town for a conference so we didn't stay at the property a whole lot, but we enjoyed the time we did have. The place was quaint and had everything we needed for our short stay. It was in a convenient location as well.
This place was good for a short stay. The host was great with communication and it came stocked with pretty much anything you may need.As a heads up, it is an older place so some of the stuff is outdated, the shower head is really low and there aren't a ton of outlets.

Hi Zach! Rowe House Rentals does consist of older homes, that's the charm. Wasn't a 'techy' world back then, so outlets weren't as necessary as they are nowadays. Thank you & come see us again!
Our family met in Columbus to celebrate our daughter's graduation from OSU and loved this property! It was thoughtfully stocked, very clean, and the hosts were responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend it and plan to stay again when we return to the area.

Why they chose this property
We love old buildings and this one is no exception- it was built in 1910. Unfortunately the only historic parts left of the house interior are the fireplace tiles and stairs (if you want to count that)- I'm not even sure if the mantels are original... the rest of the house has been fully renovated.
What makes this property unique
Please note the following about our apartments: Our homes range from 97 to 135 years old. If you are in search of a perfect, flawless place to stay, you may want to look for newer build. We love being hosts- providing a home to stay in and delivering a unique experience when visiting this city but please keep in mind this is not a 5 star hotel, it’s a home.
