The house was perfect for our needs for the weekend. It was walking distance to many places to eat, and close to the OSU campus. The homecwas clean and the beds were very comfortable.
We had a great time staying at the house. The kiddos had a great time staying at the house, the beds are super comfy. The only issues we noticed was the roof was leaking in the garage and the washer/dryer didn’t seal shut so the water leaked. Everything else was fantastic, location was great, and the stay was fantastic!
We stayed here for a weekend trip to Columbus. We had a larger group and it accommodated us very well. The yard was awesome due to its size and having plenty of seating. Beds were nice as well. Location was great for our needs. I would recommend this place to anyone looking in the area. Thanks to Sam and his great communication as well!
Our teens loved the theme, the amenities and the vibe of the house.
It is definitely a themed property. Almost has an escape room feel. All in all, for the price this was a great house for our group of 4 adults and 7 teens.
The kitchen is a bit small and it could use at least one more half bath but the ammenties, games, outdoor space and just fun of the house makes up for the short comings.
We had a great time staying here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun time.

Unique but needs Upkeep
The images of this place were taken years ago. Since then, it’s evident there have been many parties at this place. Many of the amenities do not work, such as the outdoor speakers, cornhole, and more. Overall not the worst experience, but the images on the listing definitely oversell it.

About the host
Hosted by Samuel Goldberg
I'm a moderately geeky guy with a passion for history and design. I dedicate substantial time and effort to this house and am always eager for recommendations re continuous improvements/changes.
Why they chose this property
Proximity to OSU's campus, Clintonville, downtown (straight shot down Summit or HIgh St.), and event center including Historic Crew Stadium. Proximate to, though well-insulated from, I-71.
Also, the character, resilience, quality and design of the historic housing inventory in SOHUD.
What makes this property unique
We meticulously and thoroughly renovated and modernized this century old craftsman. We added luxury conveniences, including a master suite, while integrating the home's original design with a classical era Egyptian theme throughout.
I love the sprawling first floor on the interior and private, fenced, turfed and heavily outfitted exterior.
