Amazing place w nothing but peace and privacy. Hot tub was great. Host was available but we didn’t need her because this place was perfect. My wife is already trying to book a fall stay. Can’t say enough good things.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to to having you return.
Interesting and fun place! Great place to bring kids, with the pond and other outdoor activities. When I looked out the window there were 16 deer behind the house!

We are glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully next time you stay the weather will be great and you can try the one mile walking path around the perimeter of property.
This property is like a slice of Heaven. Private, rural, yet within close proximity to many areas of interest. Perfect! Awesome views from every vantage point. Sunrises and sunsets. Indoor/outdoor living at its best. Clean inside and out. So relaxing to watch the wildlife. We enjoyed casting a few lines in the little pond. Walking barefoot in the open pasture. Wiish we could have stayed longer. Hopefully this will be available every time we visit the Columbus area.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Would love to have you return.
The place is amazing. We loved the pond and all the deer around. The bummer is the hot tub. If you are here for a short stay, it is not usable. It's a plug in therefore it takes what must be forever to get to reasonable temps. When we search for a place, we specifically search for a place with a hot tub because that's what we like. Apparently a plug in heats slowly. It was only 80 degrees when we got there. My husband always immediately goes to lift the lid and cool the temps because generally they are around or over 100 and I don't like it THAT hot. Instead he had to turn the heat on and it never got over 85 the whole time. So, we couldn't use it comfortably. That part was a huge bummer. It would have been so nice to enjoy it while watching the deer. Now had it been hotter months, it may have been tolerable, but we had unusually cooler temps in early June and we couldn't handle the cold water.
