About the host

Hosted by Sara Marie & Andrew Brenner

Host profile image

In 2020, we gutted the house! We replaced the entire kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint, fixtures -- everything. It was built in 1867 so it has its quirks. We are in real estate and enjoy providing great experiences for our hosts through communicative hospitality.

Why they chose this property

Northwest Neighborhood in downtown Delaware is a historic neighborhood. It is a beautiful area with great restaurants and shopping, and close to Columbus.

What makes this property unique

There are few homes that sleep up to 12 and that have been renovated within the last few years. And, we allow events at The Lincoln House - you just need to get authorization from us in advance, and there may be an additional event fee.
