About this property

Entire place

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

Historic, creative, close to downtown!

Historic, creative, close to downtown! Set aside day-to-day distractions to focus on writing or to simply relax. Grab a book from the library to read on a blue velvet sofa or in the backyard with the birds under the maple and walnut trees.

The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator. and the pantry is stocked with dishes, pots, and pans, and a range of utensils for cooking or baking. There are two coffee makers: a single cup Keurig and OXO for larger pots.

There are several local coffee shops nearby if you prefer an active environment. But when you're ready to lay out materials on an inspiring desk, we have two! One is walnut with lyres carved into the base and a surface inlaid with sheet music. The other is Victorian walnut with a solid pull-out surface and many drawers and compartments. In the drawers, you'll find paper and pens. Each bedroom has a desk and a view of a red brick church through the pine branches. There are several lighting options, outlets for your laptop, and free wifi.

No parties. Please do not disturb the tenants next door. They have a gentle, friendly older dog who does not bark but may pop out in the yard with her owner.

The TV in the living room that has streaming apps. The house has a security system and we live about a mile away should you need anything.

Conference at Columbus Convention Center
My adult son and I are professional engineers who attended the steel conference (AISTech) at the Columbus Convention Center. We had wanted to stay in something other than a 'regular hotel' and in this regard, this place worked quite well. The beds were very comfortable, the bedrooms were large and one had a very nice desk for working on. The rest of the house... living room, kitchen and bathroom were fine as well although we spent so much time at the conference that we barely were at the house other than for sleeping. We never had a problem finding parking right out front and the neighborhood (and inside the house) was quiet and conducive for a good sleeping... although there was evidence of homeless people on the street not too far away (however, this never was a problem and did not interfere with us). The bathroom isn't fancy but it worked (although I did wonder where the exhaust fan was located). One strong suggestion for the owner is that the brickwork leading up to the front door be fixed up. We never had a problem but there is some unevenness so that there is a potential for someone to twist an ankle. All in all when considering all the factors including cost and the convenience for driving daily to the convention center (10 minutes away), this place was a good choice and I'd stay here again.

Charming
My husband and I stayed here for a quick anniversary getaway. The location was perfect. We were far enough away from the city for it to be a quiet and restful night but close enough that nothing was too far of a drive. The house itself was older and charming. It had everything we needed and wanted. The owner was prompt with responses and gave us all the info we needed from the house to attractions to food spots. The only thing that didn't get 5 stars was the cleanliness. The bathroom looked the it could have used another once over, but nothing major. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Quaint with appreciated extras
Host was great with communication. The house once inside is quaint an comfortable. Appreciated the complimentary snacks, coffee, and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash & hand soaps). The stairs outside and in are quirky being an older home. Good to be aware if mobility issues. Did not get to enjoy the back yard this trip. Maybe next time.
