Exceptionally nice, clean, & private place. Simon was a responsive host and took the time to check in with us to see if we needed anything after we arrived! If back in Columbus, we would definitely stay again.

Simon was an absolutely fantastic host. From the moment we booked, communication was quick, clear, and incredibly helpful, which made the entire process seamless. The property itself was exactly as described—beautiful, clean, and very well maintained.The home was comfortable, thoughtfully set up, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Parking was easy and felt very safe, which was a big plus.What really stood out was the attention to detail and the care Simon puts into making sure guests have a great experience. It truly felt like a hidden gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay.Highly recommend staying here—we would absolutely come back again!

Quaint, comfortable and clean. Addition of many live plants made stay more cozy. Great location, near many shops and restaurants. Loved the heated seat in the bathroom, a nice touch. A couple of cons: large kitchen but no cooktop, access to a hot plate would be nice; difficult to park and maneuver a mid-sized or larger vehicle, not enough room to turn around on the property, had to back out a steep driveway with a blind corner; traffic on the main road pretty substantial during the day, have to give yourself extra time for commuting away from rental if you are on a schedule needing to arrive somewhere at a specific time (not a worry if no timetable). Overall a nice place, would stay again if in the area.
