About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Cottage | Parking + Private Patio + Fast WiFi

✓Standalone Single-Family Home
✓Vibrant Short North Arts District
✓Reserved Parking Spot
✓Private Outdoor Patio

Coming in just under 1000 square feet and built in the early 1900s, this was a "tiny house" before they were cool. This home is one block west of Neil Ave. in historic Victorian Village.

Pet fees: Please see House Rules.

This home was built around 1910 and sits on a quiet alley, behind a larger (and even older) home. It was likely built to be a guest house for family members of the main house, and was later split off and sold separately.

Outdoors: The off-street parking spot is great for most cars and SUVs, but is a tight fit for larger vehicles or trucks. The back patio is fully fenced and features a dining table for 6. There is not much of a yard or any grass - just the fenced patio area with the patio table and a small strip of mulch/dirt around the base of a tree.

First floor: Kitchen, living room, and full bathroom.

Second floor: Larger bedroom (queen bed) and smaller bedroom (two twin beds).

Basement: Washer and dryer.

You'll have private access to the entire home and outdoor patio.

We usually don't meet our guests in person, but we live nearby and can be available if needed!

The Short North is home to some of the best restaurants, shopping, art galleries, and night life in the city. This neighborhood draws a healthy blend of graduate students, young professionals, and families.

Please note: this is a pet-friendly listing, so we do not recommend it for anyone with severe pet allergies.

The TV does not have cable or any live channels. It only has a Chromecast device that guests can use to play content from your own streaming accounts. This REQUIRES a smartphone or a computer to use. You will sign into your own account on your own device first, and then broadcast the show over to the TV. There are detailed instructions provided in the house. You cannot play anything on the TV without first signing into a streaming service on your own personal device. While this works great for most guests, we wanted to call this out here because Greg from Nebraska didn't like this and was very angry about it.

Pet fees: Please see House Rules.

A convenient location with good groceries and restaurants within a reasonable distance. Clean. Place felt more like a home rather than a cookie-cutter rental. The furnishings were well thought out (thank you!) and the types and quality of lighting, often overlooked) was good.

Home Team Wins!

We had a great weekend in Columbus. The property was comfortable for my wife and I. It was a clean home and we could tell the owners wanted us to have a great experience. The directions to 'cast' my device onto the smart tv were very helpful. We were able to watch other games too. The location is perfect for getting access to High St. and Neil St. The one note to offer is to know that the restroom is downstairs while the sleeping rooms are upstairs.

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
The property was cute and lovely location but everything was a little broken. Lamp shades are cracked, chipped plates, melted spatulas, etc. Upstairs where the bedrooms are has a window AC unit but only for one bedroom. The other room was then quite warm. The cleaning service did not have the property ready until an hour after the promised check in time, and they left their supplies throughout the home. Plus side— there were some electrical issues and the owners were very responsive.
