Stay for Horse Show

Great property located just 5 min. from the Ohio Fairgrounds where we were competing. Communication with host was excellent. Clean property. The ally to get into the back side of the property for parking was a little tight with a big truck, it's doable but be ready to back out if you meet a car.

Perfect for us

We had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Was exactly as the pictures show. The beds were comfortable, the towels were soft, everything was super clean. The area was perfect for us, minutes to the convention center. It was extremely convenient to have a parking spot in the back. We had no trouble getting in when we arrived. They were very friendly when I called to confirm our stay. There is a binder to welcome you with all of the information you may need while you are in the area. We were welcomed with a treat basket as well. Would recommend staying here if you are in the area!!

A week in Columbus

Bedrooms very nice, the decor is attractive, and for the price this is a very good deal. The first floor is pretty dark as it does not get much sunlight. We used the kitchen a lot and supplies could use some updating (new can opener, make sure there are enough dishes, etc.). Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Great little place for 2-4 people

Having only one bathroom might be hard with more than 4 people but it's a cute little place in an ok area with restaurants/breweries within blocks of the house. We've now stayed in both sides twice and never had issues. Very well stocked with coffee, trash bags, toiletries etc. Only suggestion would be to install a 1/2 bath on the main level- several other TH in this area have done so (usually under the stairs)

Quick Stay

The interior of the property was charming and clean and pleasant. There is a lot of street noise and if arriving in the dark, it was difficult to see numbers and find the best parking.

Fine Property / Bad Area

Overall the place was clean and offered pets to stay (did not bring). It was close to the Short North area, but the direct area that this is in - is not in a good area. We also like it cold at night and AC really didnt get up there. But everything else about the property was fine.

Why they chose this property

This historic fixer upper was in need of some major TLC. We love the way it turned out!
