The house was beautiful and very well appointed, it worked out great for us as we came in for the weekend for the OSU game. The communication was beyond superb from the owner, we received check-in information a full day before which made us feel at ease. We also loved the fact that the house had a 2 car garage, we parked the cars and took an Uber everywhere we went. I do not know why more people don’t use VRBO more especially for a group of more than 4 and during events when all the hotels are booked and charging outrageous rates.

Buckeye Country Fest

The inside of the home is very nice, clean, decor gets an A, comfortable beds and linens, lots of places for photo ops! The outside could use a little TLC. There was fast food garbage on and around the porch in the front yard, alley by garage was a mess, broken glass everywhere. The cowboy pool had no water nor anyway to fill it. Quiet location. Would definitely stay here again.

Disappointed

The house was a very nicely renovated old home. The house was located in an area that was worse than we expected and the houses and apartments next door were rough. The garage, which was accessible via an ally, had lots of trash outside it and even a raccoon wondering about mid-afternoon. The pool that was advertised was not functioning and wasn’t filled. We had a problem with the AC, which the host did help us navigate. Bring your own cutlery and kitchen supplies because they are very limited.

Amazing stay with a Gracious Host

While being in Columbus for a Cheer competition with my granddaughter Jarod made our stay in his property seamless and easy. The home was not only beautiful but conveniently located. The entire process from reviewing the pictures online (getting exactly what you see) to having excellent instructions checking in during our stay and even after we checked out was one of the amazing. Jarod communicated with us the entire time. The house was beautiful comfortable and more than enough room. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Jarod for an amazing stay

Beautiful 1890's Home

The interior is even more pretty in person. It was very clean and welcoming. There was a lit Christmas tree when we entered-which was a nice, cozy touch. The porch, house, and garage were very clean and in good condition. The host was very friendly and answered all my questions in a timely manner. We would stay here again in the future.

Decent

It was a great place for my friends to stay the night before and of my wedding night. The only thing we had issues with, was the lack of blankets around the house, we had to pull a comforter from the basement and also there was a stain on the sheets on the top bunk (not an old stain). Overall pretty and a nice place to stay.

Perfect Family Weekend Home!!

This house was great. We were with 4 adults and 5 children and the house was very spacious and child friendly. The kids had the whole third floor to sleep and hang out. Everything in the house was new and very clean. The house is very close to a variety of activities downtown including Nationwide arena. Having access to a 2 car garage was clutch so we didn't have to worry about our cars or finding street parking.
