We were down a second weekend for the Columbus cup kayak championships. We chose to stay here with Joy again and it was a joy staying with Joy. I have the hot tub after a hard day of paddling. Nice cool comfortable rooms. Clean kitchen with everything you need. What a great place to stay perfect home centrally located no more than nine minutes to all the kayak adventures and up town fun of Columbus.

It was such a pleasure having you stay again. Thank you!!
Coming down here and paddling for the kayaking team. This home is perfectly placed eight minutes to ambush. Eight minutes to the barbecue joint that they do all these ceremonies and awards that. Three minutes to a grocery store three minutes to a gas station. Joy is a treat. She is a great host. She left us power bars, breakfast bars, bananas, and six pack of beer in the refrigerator for Brad and I coming down to compete. This is the most gracious host you will find in Columbus.

No concerns regarding the cleanliness, condition, or quality of the accommodations were communicated during or after this stay, and the suite was left in excellent condition. The low rating followed enforcement of clearly stated house policies that all guests agree to prior to booking. We are committed to providing a comfortable, well‑maintained space and encourage future guests to review house rules carefully and to contact us during their stay if anything does not meet expectations.
