Waldeck Creek Country Retreat

Bhanu PraneethRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We were celebrating a friend's birthday over the weekend. This place was exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were also super friendly. We had a tonne of questions and Shana answered all of them with utmost attention to our needs. Everything about the weekend felt perfect. Mark and Shana even left our friend a birthday card which made our friend very happy. The space was clean and spacious. The outdoorsy feeling was exactly what we needed to reset our exhausted minds. Definitely recommend living here!

Stunning Creek Front Retreat - Water Views - 2BR

DrewRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
David's little oasis on the creek was incredible in mid may. The whole property was bright green, the goats were happy, and the air was clear. You really could've been fooled into thinking you were in a secluded getaway, and not 6min from downtown Columbus. I'll be recommending this to everyone.

Can't say enough about Kevin's hospitality, communication and support!!! He was so flexible, even while we were all confused :) He helped us way more than should be expected, and it was truly appreciated! The home was wonderful - great location, wonderful inside and out! We walked everywhere we wanted to go the entire trip! Cannot recommend Kevin and his rental enough!

Sophia's Sunny Place Columbus Ohio

JimRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Sophia's Sunny Place is located in a beautiful, safe, and quiet neighborhood. The home itself is quite spacious and comfortable. We appreciated having a kitchen with every kitchen item needed including an ice-cream scoop to scoop up Jeni's Ice Cream purchased at the Giant Eagle grocery store. This is a place you can call a home away from home.

The Sapphire Haus on Mohawk

RobbieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I returned here for the second time. really clean environment, nice neighborhood, great communications whenever I have a question. I will add there is a sense of "quality" as well. the towels, mattresses, k-cups, even the toilet paper are not "basic" like one finds at hotels and other stays. The walkway and stairs up are something to be aware of, but my roommate has limited vision to the point of being considered legally blind, but one evening I was later at the meeting, and he came and went alone to the Mohawk restaurant with no problem. Great place, I hope to return again!

I had a very comfortable stay at Jacqui’s house! Jacqui was communicative and helpful about parking, and I didn’t have any issue finding a spot right around the corner. Slept great and enjoyed walking around the cute neighborhood with my dog.

Nice little place in a wonderful part of town. Had a small snafu upon checkin about the code not being activated yet, but was fixed immediately! Just enough space for a me for a couple days. Comfy bed, cute outdoor space. Easy to work from. Walked to Chapman's and Antiques on High, both great.

Quiet Clintonville Modern Charmer

RichardRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Our party only stayed for one night, but we all wished we could have stayed longer. We usually stay in a hotel when we come to Columbus but decided to try the Airbnb this time. We may never stay in a hotel again. Everything was wonderful and Benjamin answered my one call about the first floor shower quickly. A big bonus for me was the EV charger in the garage. This was my first trip with the EV and I was grateful for the opportunity to top off the charge before continuing on to Cincinnati the next day. If you are travelling to Columbus put this house at the top of your list of places to consider staying at. I know I will stay here again.

💫 Cali Style Townhouse - Mins to Everything💫

AlanaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was a beautiful apartment. Clean, well designed and very comfortably furnished. With a Walgreens just next door and a Kroger a short walk away it was easy to pick up essentials. Downtown a quick 10 minute drive away. David and Katie were great hosts, friendly and responsive. Highly recommended.

The Rock House

AmberRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Richard's place is in a great location as far as proximity to highways and airport. We were there for a music festival and it was easy to navigate from his location. The apartment was nice with a quaint living area. Being from Florida, we appeciated the heated towel racks and the heated tile floors. The shower was great with 2 shower heads and super hot water which I especially appreciated. The bed was super comfortable which is somewhat rare in my Air BNB experiences. Plenty of coffee available via a pour over method. I would have appreciated a way to keep the coffee hot in a pot instead of hot water in a pitcher provided but that is a personal preference. The street noise is significant. I feel the reviews glossed over that detail. The street noise was very loud to us. In fairness, we did find the bedroom window was not closed all the way after our first night so it improved when securing. We had ear plugs on hand due to the festival and used Ipad with white noise which worked well.
