About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Historic, creative, close to downtown!

Historic, creative, close to downtown! Set aside day-to-day distractions to focus on writing or to simply relax. Grab a book from the library to read on a blue velvet sofa or in the backyard with the birds under the maple and walnut trees.

The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator. and the pantry is stocked with dishes, pots, and pans, and a range of utensils for cooking or baking. There are two coffee makers: a single cup Keurig and OXO for larger pots.

There are several local coffee shops nearby if you prefer an active environment. But when you're ready to lay out materials on an inspiring desk, we have two! One is walnut with lyres carved into the base and a surface inlaid with sheet music. The other is Victorian walnut with a solid pull-out surface and many drawers and compartments. In the drawers, you'll find paper and pens. Each bedroom has a desk and a view of a red brick church through the pine branches. There are several lighting options, outlets for your laptop, and free wifi.

No parties. Please do not disturb the tenants next door. They have a gentle, friendly older dog who does not bark but may pop out in the yard with her owner.

The TV in the living room that has streaming apps. The house has a security system and we live about a mile away should you need anything.

Great stay with small issue
Super cute place in a pretty great location! However the beds were fairly uncomfortable and lumpy. We also came back covered in red dots so we have slight concerns about bed bugs :(

Cute place lots of charm. Super friendly host that came to our rescue. Personally I would have liked a bathroom on the same floor as the bedrooms. But other then that it was great.

Easter weekend fun
The place is just as advertised with everything one could need. But it is special if you like vintage collectibles, quirky decorations and appreciate old buildings. Since you can hop on 70 and 71 easily it is quite easy to get around the Metro area or head out of Columbus. Nice place to relax.

Charming
My husband and I stayed here for a quick anniversary getaway. The location was perfect. We were far enough away from the city for it to be a quiet and restful night but close enough that nothing was too far of a drive. The house itself was older and charming. It had everything we needed and wanted. The owner was prompt with responses and gave us all the info we needed from the house to attractions to food spots. The only thing that didn't get 5 stars was the cleanliness. The bathroom looked the it could have used another once over, but nothing major. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
