This was my second time staying in a Jungle house and I loved both. Great touches at the house like the sound machine and local coffee. I really appreciated have a cup of noodles after a long day of travel.

We loved staying at the Jungle House. We did a spur of the moment decision to come back to Columbus and the rental met every expectation. Amazing location, clean house, and seamless check in and out. We definitely will be coming back!
This was a great property with many extra amenities. Communication was great when needed. Would stay with them again.

Wonderful stay
We took thanksgiving out to Columbus for our OSU son. The kitchen is very well equipped which is great because I had to cook a full Turkey dinner! Location is great and a block from the new Lucky’s grocery store. Close drive to campus and also down to the brewey district. We loved our stay!

Beautiful home in nice neighborhood
The property was beautiful and clean. The plants were lovely. The hosts kindly offered masks and earplugs in case the streetlights or traffic was too much at night, though I didn’t find it bad. There was a gas station across the street which made it easy to grab a few essentials. The park on the other side was beautiful. It was a bit of a hike to the convention center (16 min) but closer to nice places to eat around N High street. The neighborhood felt safe to walk around. It was also a really great deal for a place to stay and enjoy Columbus! I would definitely stay here again!

A Pleasant Weekend in the Jungle
The home was very clean and decorated nicely. Beds were comfy, great location, and the off-street parking was a nice touch. Would have liked more useable seating in the living room and a more practical shower head. But these weren't dealbreakers. Would certainly stay again.
