Our experience at Puppy Christmas was exactly as it was presented a creative, out of the ordinary, and memorable property with everything we needed. It is in the heart of a safe and vibrant neighborhood that is perfect for anyone attending an event at OSU. We appreciated that it was pet friendly, even though not traveling with pets this time, and that there was plenty of easy, private, off-street parking. My college-bound traveling companion enjoyed the video game too. If we stay again I might even prepare a usb stick in advance with more games I want to play on it. Thanks for a fun time!

Cute dog themed design. If you are weirded out by animal costumes on the ceiling and dog faces staring at you everywhere be warned. That is what makes this house unique and different. Silliness aside it was clean and convenient for our 2 day stay for 5 adults near campus for a concert at the stadium.

We were here for 2 nights and had such a blast! So much entertainment (especially for our pups) from the big backyard and dog obstacle course, tons of seating and a grill. Inside was clean and comfortable (beds were super comfortable too) had everything we needed in the kitchen and laundry room. Lots of games and stuff for the kids to do. Very glad we picked this house. Quiet, convenient neighborhood. Loved how the front yard was gated in too. If you are a dog person, this is the place for you and your pups!

Graduation at Puppy Heaven

My family stayed at puppy heaven for graduation weekend. It is 1.5 miles from the stadium so we could walk to graduation. There was enough parking to park 4 cars behind the house. House was clean and had first floor bathroom and bedroom for my mom. Decorations were fun. We will never forget the house.

Unique home

The house is definitely unique, we are all “dog people” and got quite a kick out of the decor. House was clean and beds were comfy! The only complaint is that we didn’t get very many wash cloths for our entire group. But it wasn’t a huge deal. We all had a great time and the house was close to Historic Crew Stadium, which was great because we were in town for a concert there!

Interesting

Its an interesting place to say the least. It was clean but not my clean. It is an older home and it was very humid so its a bit musty. It's decor is bizarre 😳 just as the title implies. It was comfort and the dogs loved it. The yard could use some gravel maybe and a few less dog reindeer

This was the creepiest house in which i have ever stayed. Are there really people who like to shower with a giant rubber dog head pearing at them out if the ceiling while shivering in the drafty bathroom? Do people really like sleeping under a creepy bunny costume stareing down at them ffom above the bed? The giant kitchen garbage can had no bags anywhere in the house.The roof gutters where so overflowing with ice that the step out the back door, where one has to pass to empty the garbage, is an ice covered death trap that one can not see until they are laying on their back looking up at the back door. The ad makes it look like there are a few cute doggie theamed decorations; this house is so full of creepy animal theamed installations that the owner(host) clearly did not have time or money to address the structual and environmental concerns if the house. They did nit address the ineffective HVAC, the need for a battering ram to open the front door, the poor placement of the front yard fence and gate, the rolling floor, or the ever changing internet connectivity. They did have time to remotely flicker the lights while we were watching tv, which again fits with the whole creepy "thrift store meets grandma the cat lady" vibe of this property. Save your money, the convenience of the localtion does not make up for this property's lack of maintenance and basic structural features.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Feb 2026
Hi Eric, I’m sincerely sorry to learn that you did not enjoy your stay. We take guest comfort and safety very seriously, and it is clear we fell short of your expectations during your visit. Your stay coincided with the aftermath of the worst snowstorm to hit Columbus in a decade, paired with simultaneous subzero temperatures. This was the most aggressive test for the house systems since we acquired the property, and the extreme conditions exposed several vulnerabilities that we have since moved quickly to resolve. Since your stay, we completed the following upgrades: HVAC: Our technician installed a new furnace and additional ductwork running below the first-floor bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom to ensure consistent warmth even in extreme cold. Structural & Safety: We have adjusted the hinges on the front door for ease of use and installed additional downspouts on either side of the back door to prevent the ice build-up you experienced. Connectivity: The home now features a new modem and router with 500Mbps internet to ensure a stable connection. Lighting: We apologize for the flickering you experienced; the historic storm caused several local power fluctuations, but we have since inspected all smart-home integrations to ensure they are functioning correctly. Thank you for the feedback that helped us make these necessary improvements. We wish you better travels in the future.
