Excellent Home for Families!

The Century House was perfect. High quality home. Well furnished with thoughtful amenities and supplies provided. Sound machines and nightlights were a nice touch. Lights, luggage racks and hangers in the closets were helpful. Very clean. Kid friendly.

Great location & space

We had plans around OSU and the Short North area, this location was perfect. The house is absolutely stunning, and the setup makes it feel very private even though it’s in the city. Our group appreciated the multiple living spaces and bathrooms. Like many urban areas there is a noticeable homeless population, so we did choose to drive rather than walk to nighttime activities. I would definitely consider staying here again, the host was wonderful.

Great Columbus Getaway!

We loved our stay! The place was super clean and the location is close to high street so it’s walkable to all the restaurants and bars on High St. We came also walked to the stadium for game day. Megan was super attentive, checked in and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay again.

4th of July Surprise 80th Bday

Whole family came back into our home town for the 4th of July and we were throwing a surprise 80th Bday party for our mother. The Century House was perfect for the 9 of us. Tons of room, separate space and bedrooms, communial area to sit and relax together and catchup. Loved the location, close to (east walk) all the Short North has to offer and easy access to freeways and the rest of Columbus. Megan was amazing with her quick response to questions, suggestions and just checking in on us and how we were doing. Even wishing my mother a happy 80th birthday. we will be back in Columbus and will be back at The Century House.

Perfect all around!

Stayed here with our family. The host was prompt in replying to all my communications. The location was perfect. So close to many places we wanted to visit, like the conservatory, zoo and LegoLand. Many places to explore within walking distance as well. The house was perfect for our needs. Five bedrooms was a hard option to find. This home not only offered that but had three and a half bathrooms as well. Just what we needed for a large group. Parking in a downtown can be a nightmare for sure! This home offers 3 paid parking spaces for your stay, made our stay much less of a hassle. The beds are comfortable, and the home is very well stocked. Plenty of dishes, and a beautiful large dining table. The host was helpful offering options of areas to visit with toddlers, including the two parks so close by. They also have toys ( games for adults to play too) a highchair and a portable crib as well. This home is a reflection of what every VRBO host should offer!!! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Easy and Comfortable

This place is in a great location, close to High street but not on High street. Very clean, and cozy. The five bedrooms, some with extra beds make this perfect for large groups.
