Had a great time at the house...was close proximity and easy to get to and from campus as well as the ShortNorth entertainment district, loved relaxing in the rocking chairs on the front porch and enjoying family dinner in the spacious open kitchen. Comfortable bedding too!

The host made it easy!

This adorable house was the perfect location for our one-night stay in Columbus. We were there for a very sad reason: our beloved brother-in-law/uncle was in hospice and we were there to say goodbye. It is a rare VRBO that doesn’t have a list of to-dos before checkout. But the 5th Street Retreat messaged me that we didn’t need to do a thing as we were leaving. I can imagine staying at this property for football weekends or visiting your kids at OSU

Hockey tournament at the Fairgrounds

Rented this property since it was pretty close to the arena and it was fantastic...close to good food, just outside the city and near the campus. Safe area with the option of back alley parking or front street which was always available.the host answered questions quickly and was helpful with area recommendations.....overall great time and great house

Weekend trip

A group of 4 of us stayed here while competing in a curling tournament. The house served our needs well. The listing might indicate that the games room is actually also the fourth bedroom but it wasn’t a big deal as we all found the accommodations comfortable.

Great house for OSU football

Clean property with plenty of room. Owner was responsive and checked on us during our stay, even letting us check in early. Only critique would be the fourth bedroom on listing is actually a basement with a trundle bed. Great location to walk to campus and bars/restaurants in North Short District. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Halfway meeting place for the Holiday

Overall, we had a good stay. Would have liked more seating in the main room, as we were 6 adults and 2 dogs staying there. The backyard is nice, though someone went out with the dogs every time as there were several gaps in the fence that a skinny wiggly 40 lb dog could slip through. Several low maintenance tasks were noted and mainly did not interfere with our fun. Quiet neighborhood near plenty of places. Thanks for the hospitality.
