Experience Modern Comfort and Convenience in the Heart of Columbus!

Welcome to our beautifully restored home located in the historic Old Oaks District. Surround yourself with the charm of turn-of-the-century homes and enjoy the nearby boulevard, perfect for leisurely walks with your leashed pets.

Situated just half a mile from Nationwide Children’s Hospital and with easy freeway access, our location offers convenient proximity to everything in the heart of Columbus. Downtown, the Arena District, OSU, German Village, the Brewery District, Bexley, Franklinton, Grandview, and more are just minutes away, ensuring you can explore the best the city has to offer.

Parking is a breeze with our private garage space, suitable for a midsize sedan or SUV. Additional parking is available directly behind the garage, and the wide street provides ample free street parking, so finding a spot is typically hassle-free.

Step inside our restored home, where modern living meets old-world charm. The cozy ambiance is enhanced by thoughtful touches, from the trim to the lighting, preserving the home's original character. The backyard is transformed into a true oasis, perfect for relaxation.

The main level features a gourmet kitchen with a spacious peninsula countertop and bar seating. Whether you're whipping up a quick meal or indulging in culinary adventures, the well-appointed kitchen provides all the conveniences you need. The open-concept design seamlessly connects the kitchen to the generous dining room and living space, complete with a large flat-screen TV featuring streaming cable for your entertainment.

Off the kitchen, you'll find a convenient back entryway with a delightful mudroom, equipped with a bench and plenty of hooks for storing belongings. A half bath on this level ensures convenience without the need to go upstairs.

As you ascend the grand staircase, you'll discover two spacious bedrooms with comfortable queen beds. The primary bedroom features walk-in closets, offering ample space for longer stays. The bathroom will transport you to a spa-like experience, with its original clawfoot tub for a relaxing soak and an open-air shower adorned with natural light.

Additional amenities on the upper level include a washer/dryer all-in-one unit for easy laundry care. For larger loads or bulkier items, a full-size washer and dryer are available in the basement.

For those who need to work during their stay, we provide a dedicated office space furnished with a convertible stand-up desk, chair, and basic office supplies.

Stepping into the backyard, you'll discover a lovely, spacious fenced yard adorned with beautiful flowers. The brick patio, complete with a pergola, outdoor dining area, and fire pit, is perfect for enjoying outdoor relaxation. Your furry friends will love the pet-friendly environment as well.

As passionate animal lovers, we welcome pets with a daily fee. Please indicate if you'll be bringing any pets along. To ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, we kindly request that all pets be treated for fleas, ticks, and heartworm.

My wife, Cassie, and I personally rehabbed this home and lived here full time for several years. Although we have now moved to Athens, we couldn't bear to part with the place we poured so much love into and the city we still adore.

Our primary business revolves around vacation rental cabins in Hocking Hills, making our decision to share this home with guests in Columbus a natural one.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Myself or my assistant, Marianne, will be delighted to help.

We are excited to have the opportunity to host you during your stay in Columbus and will do everything we can to ensure it's the best experience possible!

Columbus Fun
We stayed in this beautiful house for a long weekend visiting friends and hanging out about town. The property was very clean and well equipped. Our pets were welcome for a fee which was a big plus. We visit Columbus several times a year and hope to stay here again.

Nicest owners ever! Nicest house I have rented so far.
First of all, I have to say the owners were amazing. Their communication was just incredible. Not only did we ask to check in early, have a late checkout, but we also added a day to our stay. They accommodated us every single step of the way and got back to us right away. I ended up getting really sick the night before we had to leave and was unable to make the drive back home, they extended our stay last minute and were just so nice about it. We stayed with our three young children and the house had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked with anything for cooking and lots of spices. They also had some baby gear. Plenty of extra blankets, towels, toilet paper, first aid, spices, and really just anything you would need. This is one of the most well stocked rentals I’ve stayed in and we’ve had over 20 for family trips in the past. The home is beautiful! The pictures don’t do if justice. It’s well updated yet has SO much charm and original architecture. I literally don’t have a single complaint. I was worried about it being drafty since it is an older home but the heating and air are all updated. The Wi-Fi was great too! I really can go on and on, the owners were just beyond nice and helpful. The huge private back yard was beautiful and great for the dog and kids. I felt safe in the area and loved being so close to downtown. Thank you for a lovely stay! You guys went above and beyond for us.

Why they chose this property

Built in 1900 and needing some love, we bought this home in 2018 and put our heart into it. We did a full rehab and made the layout more functional while keeping the original charm.

During the pandemic, we spent every waking moment in this house and we are greatful for such a lovely place to live during such a challenging time.

While the pandemic made us realize we were country people at heart and led us to our small farm in Athens, we wanted to be able to keep our first home be able to come back and enjoy it and the city that we still love.
