Great themed place to crash
The family loved the decorations. This is an old house in an old neighborhood but they did a great job with comfortable furniture and quality fixtures. Great place to spend some down time between doing all the family activities around Columbus. Kitchen had the basics to prep simple meals. The house is small but plenty of space to relax together or separately. It was clean, cute and comfortable.

As advertised! Great visit!
We mainly needed just a place nearby Lou Berliner Sports Park to relax inbetween softball games. And my family all love Harry Potter, so this was perfect. The owners put a lot of attention to detail into this houses creation. My wife kept finding neat things. Their communication with me was perfect. I had the choice of cell phone or email, at any time. The beds were all very comfortable. They had a nice grill with 3 tanks ready to go. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to use it. There is enough room for a coupole cars comfortably behind the house. We did play some arcade games and shuffleboard. A lot of fun. If you are a serious about shuffleboard, know that it's very used. Thanks again for the communication and making sure everything was ok.

Great spot for any Harry Potter fan!
We always take our girls somewhere within an hour or two drive for a few days over spring break. Weve been reading the harry potter series to them and are on book 6. They love all things HP and this house did not dissapoint! Its unassuming from the outside, in a residential neighborhood close to lots of things. As soon as you open the door youre transported to hogwarts. Video games kept us parents occupied as well as shuffleboard. We had a great time and would recommend this house to anyone looking for something different in columbus!

Harry Potter House
I’m going to start with saying the house was clean where it mattered. Beds, bathroom, kitchen seemed clean. The location was good near places we wanted to go. When we first arrived I was a little iffy with the neighborhood. With that being said we felt safe during our stay. The owner or contact was great and very prompt with any questions. Game room was fun.

Very Impressive
The house was more than expected. Great stay for all die hard Harry Potter fans. We did not have time to truly enjoy the house. I suggest this house for teens and young adults. Very good for families.

Just As Advertised!
The place is a whimsical wonderland. You have an idea of what to expect by the photos, but walking in for the first time really does exceed them. The stay was great; went to Columbus with friends for a bachelor party. The place was able to sleep four dudes, have a game room where we spent our late nights winding down, and comfortable chairs and couch for watching a sporting event. Sam was a great host, reached out right as we arrived and communicated the entire stay. Very close to downtown and the convention center/expo. You won't regret a visit here!

Absolutely Magical
Stop looking and book a stay at this house! We enjoyed this house so much. I wish I had the talent to decorate like this. Everything was perfect - the house was super clean and comfortable. Decor is so fun! Beds were super upgraded mattresses. Reclining chairs were fantastic after a long hard day. So many fun decor items and the video games are so fun. The back yard is great with lots of comfort and fun items. Host is wonderful - responds very quickly and definitely knows how to make guests feel welcome and appreciated. 5 Star ++++++ We can’t wait to stay here again next time our travels take us to Columbus!

Something unique!
I stayed in this house with some friends to catch a game at the SHOE. This house was perfect for our group, and a good alternative to hotel rooms. We got lucky with the weather so the patio was great and the Harry Potter theme was fun. Classic video games and shuffleboard got plenty of late-night use. The location worked with a short Uber ride into the stadium area. Highly recommend for any age.
