Step inside our restored home, where modern living meets old-world charm. The cozy ambiance is enhanced by thoughtful touches, from the trim to the lighting, preserving the home's original character. The backyard is transformed into a true oasis, perfect for relaxation.
The main level features a gourmet kitchen with a spacious peninsula countertop and bar seating. Whether you're whipping up a quick meal or indulging in culinary adventures, the well-appointed kitchen provides all the conveniences you need. The open-concept design seamlessly connects the kitchen to the generous dining room and living space, complete with a large flat-screen TV featuring streaming cable for your entertainment.
Off the kitchen, you'll find a convenient back entryway with a delightful mudroom, equipped with a bench and plenty of hooks for storing belongings. A half bath on this level ensures convenience without the need to go upstairs.

The bathroom will transport you to a spa-like experience, with its original clawfoot tub for a relaxing soak and an open-air shower adorned with natural light.
Additional amenities on the upper level include a washer/dryer all-in-one unit for easy laundry care. For larger loads or bulkier items, a full-size washer and dryer are available in the basement.

As passionate animal lovers, we welcome pets with a daily fee. Please indicate if you'll be bringing any pets along. To ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, we kindly request that all pets be treated for fleas, ticks, and heartworm.
My wife, Cassie, and I personally rehabbed this home and lived here full time for several years. Although we have now moved to Athens, we couldn't bear to part with the place we poured so much love into and the city we still adore.
Our primary business revolves around vacation rental cabins in Hocking Hills, making our decision to share this home with guests in Columbus a natural one.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Myself or my assistant, Marianne, will be delighted to help.
We are excited to have the opportunity to host you during your stay in Columbus and will do everything we can to ensure it's the best experience possible!

loved our stay at this home.. it was so stunning! very close to anything you would need to get to and on a peaceful street. the hosts are wonderful.. I cannot say enough good things about this place!
Everything was perfect with this home. Parking, location, quality. Especially recommend if you are looking for pet friendly; the yard was so nice to have.
Location was convenient but neighborhood concerned me initially as we drove up. Having garage was super helpful and made us more comfortable. Check-in process and communications were great. Greg was super responsive to addressing questions and a low battery on garage keypad was taken care of promptly. House is quaint and clean. Neighborhood ended up being quiet and safe and house was convenient for us attending Ohio State game.
This is our second stay at this lovely property. The location was excellent and the house is nicely equipped. We enjoyed a potluck dinner at the large table with friends. We will definitely be booking again in the future.
Everything we needed was there. Loved the shower/ bath. Happened to meet the neighbors who were super folks. Just had a great time visiting the area. Great communication with just and owner.
The house is exactly as described. Beautiful and large. The bathroom, shower and tub were my favorite. The yard is huge. The host communicated daily and frequently asked about our needs. A couple of extra blankets downstairs would be a nice touch. Iwill definitely be staying here next time in town.
We stayed in this beautiful house for a long weekend visiting friends and hanging out about town. The property was very clean and well equipped. Our pets were welcome for a fee which was a big plus. We visit Columbus several times a year and hope to stay here again.
Convenient location to access Columbus/OSU events.
The house was clean and comfortable. The fenced-in backyard was great for our dog to observe the many squirrels going about their daily routines.
We were in town to attend an OSU football game and the house is just a short drive/Uber ride to campus.
We were staying in Columbus for my grandsons surgery. Fantastic location!! Greg responded very quickly whenever I had questions. I will definitely be staying again when my grandson has subsequent surgery’s. Pet friendly, Carl and Odie had a great time also!
There was a lot about this property that we loved. The backyard was awesome, the decor was great, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was generally clean. The location was great for us. We had plenty of space and were comfortable enough. That said...we travel a lot, and there were small details that made this a four and not a five: The host did not respond to specific questions sent in the app during our stay; There was something sticky on one of the sheets - it seemed like something from the wash, and the sheets had obviously been cleaned, but it was still off-putting; the sheets were also very thin; Finally, I got a splinter in the hardwood floor. Bad luck, but wear socks!
The property was clean and nicely laid out. We were allowed to bring both our dogs so the enclosed backyard was a godsend. There was plenty of space for my husband, myself and the dogs. The location was very convenient for downtown which is where we spent most of our time. Nothing the hosts can do but the neighborhood was littered with trash. It was a windy weekend, so maybe that was a one-off. There were a few non-urgent, minor issues which the hosts were very responsive to. (blown light bulb, for example).We will most likely reserve this same property in the future, if available.
Well restored and comfortable home in improving neighborhood
Upon arrival to the house, I questioned the safety of the neighborhood. The area is clearly going through significant gentrification, as there are newly updated beautiful homes side-by-side with those more run down. I was glad to have a garage to park my car in and a fenced in back yard. Over the course of my stay, I became more comfortable with the neighborhood and never heard or saw anything or anyone scary. The house inside was perfect. Beautifully restored with a great kitchen, comfortable beds and shower. Phenomenal value! Just a 10 minute drive to downtown, which I did twice daily. I truly appreciated last minute being able to check in early and stay late.
Nicest owners ever! Nicest house I have rented so far.
First of all, I have to say the owners were amazing. Their communication was just incredible. Not only did we ask to check in early, have a late checkout, but we also added a day to our stay. They accommodated us every single step of the way and got back to us right away. I ended up getting really sick the night before we had to leave and was unable to make the drive back home, they extended our stay last minute and were just so nice about it.
We stayed with our three young children and the house had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked with anything for cooking and lots of spices. They also had some baby gear. Plenty of extra blankets, towels, toilet paper, first aid, spices, and really just anything you would need. This is one of the most well stocked rentals I’ve stayed in and we’ve had over 20 for family trips in the past.
The home is beautiful! The pictures don’t do if justice. It’s well updated yet has SO much charm and original architecture. I literally don’t have a single complaint. I was worried about it being drafty since it is an older home but the heating and air are all updated. The Wi-Fi was great too!
I really can go on and on, the owners were just beyond nice and helpful. The huge private back yard was beautiful and great for the dog and kids.
I felt safe in the area and loved being so close to downtown.
Thank you for a lovely stay! You guys went above and beyond for us.
