Modern Victorian! King bed! -Short North Location-

AmandaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We loved staying here! The location was great, the home itself was cozy and cute, the owners were very responsive and helpful, and the little touches added by them (the branded mugs, the welcome booklet, the shower supplies, etc) made this really feel like a vaca even though we were here for a staycation.

WillRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The home was surprisingly spacious and absolutely gorgeous. It was very easy to find, with an amazing location in German Village. It had lots of modern amenities and very cool decor, while also being very comfortable. Also, the private parking spot was a huge perk, though street parking was available during our stay. We loved our stay.

Home with Hot Tub in the Short North

JacquelineRating, 5 stars2 days ago

We absolutely loved our stay here. We were in Columbus for a show at the Palace theater and then we did the zoo the next day. This place was close to the downtown area, and was around so much that we could easily walk to. Our kids loved the house which was great. And they were so great with amenities for children - toys, stroller, high chairs. They loved the trampoline in the patio outside and all the toys/puzzles/games they had. Beds were very comfortable and everything was clean! We would definitely stay here again and would have no hesitation in recommending to family/friends.
