Great place to stay for my husband and I. We also took our dog! Great location! Awesome communication with Doc. Will hopefully stay again in the future!
Doc and Carrie were fantastic hosts. The place was very clean, very comfy and in a great location. We enjoyed our weekend mini trip going to the zoo, shopping, and dining. The dogs had a blast at the dog park playing frisbee everyday. We will definitely be back!
Stayed at Calico Cottage while on a fishing trip to Alum Creek Reservoir. Great location. Minutes from the lake, stores and Cabela’s. Extremely clean and every necessity you could possibly need was provided. Would definitely come back on our next fishing trip.
We were in town from Florida to meet our new grand daughter and this rental was perfect for our needs. We brought our 2 small dogs and they loved the dog park. Doc was very responsive and kind and we'll definitely stay here again if we are back in town.
This was a perfect VRBO to stay for us as a family, our two boxers pups included. The Boxers loved the dog park. We had a fire in the fire pit while the dogs played all night on our fabulous fall football stay. It was an easy drive to OSU campus for the Buckeyes football game.
This property host goes out of his way to make sure everything you might need is available. This is the second time we have stayed at one of his properties and have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. Properties are very clean and well stocked.
The property was as shown in the pictures. It was incredible clean on the inside and was above expectations! The best part of this property is it’s convenient location to food, shopping and short drives to plenty of fun things to stay. Will definitely pick again if needing a place in the area again!
This cottage is fantastic, especially if you have a dog. The dog park made our stay so much better because our pooch was able to run and play off-leash. The cottage is neat as a pin, and Doc has thought of all the little details to make you feel right at home. Will definitely stay again when in Columbus!
Our 2nd stay on this property. It is amazing - and it has everything, including a hot tub inside. The owners are incredibly nice and they provide many amenities for kids. They are even dog friendly with a wonderful bark park on-site. The location cannot be beat - shopping, restaurants within minutes and the downtown less than 20 minutes away. We will definitely be back again!
Calico Cottage had everything we needed and more. We stayed for 2 nights, when in the area for a family event. I was impressed that there were even dog bowls and pet wipes, which made it very welcoming for our dog. She loved running in the fenced in dog area too. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
My husband and I spent 3 nights in this lovely guesthouse. The host was extremely attentive and very thorough with the information provided. The property was clean, nicely appointed, and in the perfect location to shopping, restaurants and even the OSU campus where we attended a basketball game. We didn't use the hot tub but we did enjoy the ping pong table in the toy barn. I'd recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in the area.
My wife and I have stayed at the Calico Cottage once before and the adjoining Mad Cat Inn once. Every stay, including this latest one has been enjoyable. The owner and his wife are very friendly. We travel with our 27 pound Pembroke Welsh Corgi which we securely pen when not at the cottage to supervise him. There is an acre or more fenced dog yard with a fire pit and seating. (A big plus for us.) On this trip we visited family and friends. We also traveled to Kenton on April 8, 2024 and observed the total solar eclipse. We had a very memorable and enjoyable visit.
Very nice property and pet friendly. Our husky loved walking the pasture and playing in the dog park. Doc could not have been any nicer. Property very clean and in great shape. Bed was nice and soft. Outstanding stay. Could not have asked for anything more. The wife the husky and myself all left happy and ready for the new year. Thanks Doc.
My husband and i stayed in the Calico Cottage for our 24th anniversary. We were glad we were able to book it the same week as our checkin date because we spent a long time trying to figure out what we wanted to do for our anniversary, but we knew we didn't want to spend our anniversary in a crowded hotel. This place was very clean and very nice and the private indoor hot tub was just what we needed for a romantic anniversary getaway. Doc, our host, took great care of us and made sure we were comfortable and happy during our entire stay. I also appreciated that we had plenty of privacy, but we were also able to meet him and he was right there if we needed anything or had any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this VRBO and I'm already recommending it to my friends!
This was the perfect place for us. Very clean and had everything we needed. Thought of all the little details. Great pillows and blankets on the bed and couch. TVs in each room. Kitchen was very well stocked too. Bathroom amenities were abundant. Desk with office supplies, nice touch. Washer and dryer inside and a hose outside. We had 3 dogs with us and they had crates for each dog. The back yard was a fenced in dog park with lots of grass, table and chairs and dog toys. Lots of other things to do as well ping pong, corn hole, balls of all kinds soccer, football, basketball and hoop. Perfect for my family we will definitely be back when visiting Columbus!! Thanks Doc!
My dad and I had a wedding July 15th and last minute I had to bring my 11 month old puppy. Though I had to scramble to figure out housing arrangements I am so thankful because I never would have found this treasure! Doc and Carrie immediately felt like family and the love and care the have for their property and for people is undeniably evident with the Calico Cottage! First of all I have never stayed at a more clean Vrbo rental EVER. Their color scheme, set up, provisions, accommodations are truly unbeatable. I love that they live on the property it feels safe and friendly. My dog had the time of her life especially with their dog park. They thought of everything to make this stay easy, comfortable, and magical. My dad was able to rest well and this cottage has 1 level for everything which is exactly what he needed. Alum Creek is literally minutes away in one direction while Polaris Parkway is 10 minutes down the road in the opposite direction. If you are looking for quality family time this is the place for you. You will feel connected, warm, rested, and most of all valued by the way Doc and Carrie host. If you book this place my request to you is please please please love and respect it it with as much love as Doc and Carrie have put into it. I guarantee you will leave feeling a little sad like you'll miss family! This is going to be my go to place when I need to get away, can't wait to see them again!
What a lovely visit at the Calico Cottage. We have family in Powell, and we’re always looking for a close place to stay with our dogs. This was the perfect place, in a great area with just the right amenities.
The only downside was trying to get our dogs to leave the amazing dog park on the property. They absolutely loved it too!
Will definitely be back.
Such a cute, homey feel! The dog park was a big hit with our dog, being a city dog, he doesn’t usually get to zoom off leash. Nearby beautiful neighborhood with sidewalks for dog walks. We wanted for nothing, very well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Hot tub was lovely! The hosts even accommodated a late check out to better facilitate our travel home. It was a great get away.
We found our perfect place to stay, while visiting family in Ohio! The owners/hosts were very kind and approachable for conversations. They attended to any needs, promptly. A lot of thought was put into their property and units to accommodate anyone and any age, from electric toy vehicles, basketball, corn hole, hot tubs to fire pits! The fenced in dog park was a plus. The unit itself had everything one would need for a relaxing stay! We will definitely be staying here again, when visiting Ohio.
