I love about an hour from the city and wasn't sure about the area, but it was in a location close to my event, so I chose it. I did not regret it and the house did not disappoint. Beautiful design, spacious, clean and best of all the area turned out to be very quiet! I I would definitely recommend this property.

Terrible area. Neighbors were yelling and fighting throughout the night. Not walkable at all.Portable AC units in the bedrooms but you can't have more than 2 going at once or the power trips. Host told us to go down in the basement to reset the breaker but would need to do it every 10 mins.All faucets were loose/barely installed.Terrible "walkway" between the house that you need to use to access the front door. Host needs to install a keypad on the backdoor.
This is our second time staying at this property, and it didn’t disappoint. It was conveniently located near food shopping, which was great for our group planning session. The host was always very accommodating, and the house was clean, easy to check in and out. We’ll definitely be back!

Great size property and convenient location to get around the city. Spacious rooms and having working AC units in each room was really nice. Beds and furniture were comfortable, but missing the pull out couch bed advertised which wasn’t a huge deal. Host is very responsive and helpful with anything that came up. Only wish there was a better stocked coffee bar with more k-cups, cream/sugar etc

Really glad to hear you had a great stay and appreciate you recommending the place. We’d love to host you again anytime!
Immediately upon arriving in the home we noticed that the carpet throughout and chairs in the kitchen are extremely saturated and dirty. The second level and above, where all the bedrooms are, were well over 80 degrees. The bedrooms are equipped with a standalone air conditioning unit that doesn't keep up with the heat. Due to having to run them constantly, we came home on 3 of the hottest days to power outages. Even trying to conserve energy by unplugging and turning things off, power would not stay on. The bedrooms were nearly impossible to sleep in. Our guests staying in the loft moved down to the main level and slept on a couch & air mattress. All bedroom doors must stay shut at all times to get the rooms to a “tolerable” temperature. This was consistently set back by the power outages while being away during the day. Perhaps the most egregious part of the experience, mice. I had two mice running around in my room & even able to get video proof of them. This was addressed by the host the following day but still very unsettling. It feels the hosts are not sympathetic toward the situation. They addressed the mice issue the following evening but stated they would review our heat issues and discuss a fair option for us. We were told we could leave the property and be refunded our remaining one night. Checkout was 3 days ago. When asked if they’ve reviewed our issues further I’ve received no further communication. They got our money and couldn’t care less. What a dump.
Plenty of room, clean, and comfortable beds. Would absolutely stay again

The property was as described, tastefully decorated, clean and well stocked. lots of space for the entire family, kids friendly space, it was an easy & short commute to the convention center and Legoland/shopping mall. If we find ourselves back to Columbus we will definitely book again.
The house was beautiful and very well appointed, it worked out great for us as we came in for the weekend for the OSU game. The communication was beyond superb from the owner, we received check-in information a full day before which made us feel at ease. We also loved the fact that the house had a 2 car garage, we parked the cars and took an Uber everywhere we went. I do not know why more people don’t use VRBO more especially for a group of more than 4 and during events when all the hotels are booked and charging outrageous rates.

We stayed for two nights over 4th of July weekend. The house has a great open floor plan on the first floor to gather with friends and family. The rooms were clean and it was nice to have a two car garage for secure parking given the area.

Location was on a less than desirable street. Didnt feel overly safe going out at night.At night there were groups of people congregating on street drinking in 2 different areas.Car with smashed window was parked outside out house each day. TV did not even have basic sports available. Upstairs was very drafty and cold.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet expectations and that you felt uncomfortable during your visit.
We understand how important safety and peace of mind are, especially when traveling, and we’re truly sorry that the surrounding environment made you feel uneasy. While we can’t control activity in the neighborhood, we do take your concerns seriously and will review how we present location details so guests have clearer expectations before booking.
We also regret the issues you experienced inside the home. The concern about the upstairs being cold is something we’ll look into right away to ensure the heating is working properly and that insulation/comfort levels are consistent throughout the property. Your note about the TV setup is also helpful—we’ll review what’s currently offered and see where improvements can be made.
We appreciate you sharing this honestly. Feedback like yours is important for us to improve both the home and the guest experience.

Appreciate the kind words about communication too. We’d be happy to host you again anytime you’re passing through!
The good: the house had been HGTVed and was attractive inside, and the photos were accurate. Owner was responsive.To be aware: rough area of town, across from Section 8 housing (neighbor was outside with no pants), and garage is VERY tight for two cars. Plus the promised sofa bed is a blow up mattress.The bad: amenities were lacking. Literally no kitchen tools, so guests should not plan on cooking (or even reheating pizza, because no cookie sheets). There was also a dearth of blankets.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review and for sharing both the positives and the concerns from your stay.
We’re glad to hear you found the home attractive and true to the photos, and that communication was responsive throughout your visit. That’s something we always try to get right.
We’re also sorry to hear that several parts of your stay didn’t meet expectations. Your feedback about the kitchen supplies and lack of basic cooking tools is especially important—we understand how limiting that would be for guests planning to cook or even reheat food, and we’ll be reviewing and restocking those items to make sure the kitchen is properly equipped. The note about blankets is also appreciated and will be addressed.
We hear your concerns regarding the garage space and sleeping setup, and we’ll make sure those details are represented more clearly moving forward so expectations are set accurately.
We also understand your comments about the surrounding area. While we can’t change the neighborhood itself, we take guest comfort and transparency seriously and will consider how this is communicated more clearly in the listing.
Thank you again for the honest feedback—it helps us improve, and we do take it seriously.
Went to watch two YouTuber Comedians, Rhett & Link. The house was very comfortable to stay, pool was fun, and very close to the theatre! Great place if you plan to view something at or near the "Palace Theatre."

We’d be happy to have you back anytime you’re in town for another event or weekend getaway.
The house is updated and very spacious. Perfect for large groups. It is in a college town. Only issue was that one bed looked like it had been overlooked for cleaning.

Really glad the house worked well for your girls’ weekend and that the space felt comfortable for a larger group—that’s exactly what we hope for.
We also appreciate you mentioning the issue you noticed with the bedding. That’s not the standard we aim for, and we’ll be reviewing this closely with our cleaning team to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Thanks again for the feedback, and we’d be happy to host you again in the future.
The inside of the home is very nice, clean, decor gets an A, comfortable beds and linens, lots of places for photo ops! The outside could use a little TLC. There was fast food garbage on and around the porch in the front yard, alley by garage was a mess, broken glass everywhere. The cowboy pool had no water nor anyway to fill it. Quiet location. Would definitely stay here again.
