About this property

The Garden Villa - A Beautiful Hidden Gem.

Discover a splendid oasis in the heart of the city, tailored perfectly for you and your companion. This premium and authentic short-term rental experience is curated by attentive hosts, ensuring a delightful stay in a charming location embraced by nature and tranquility.

Nestled within a private European-inspired garden lies the Garden Villa, an unparalleled retreat situated in the northwest suburb of Columbus. Our unique oasis offers a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle, while remaining conveniently close to modern amenities such as shopping, fine and casual dining, parks, recreation, and the world's longest S-shaped pedestrian bridge.

Your indoor living accommodation comprises a 495 sq. ft. free-standing, custom-crafted space, meticulously designed with comfortable furnishings and luxurious amenities to cater to two adults. Amidst our vibrant and convenient location, the villa offers calm and serenity, providing an inviting and rejuvenating haven to savor and unwind all year long.

Your outdoor living experience changes with the seasons. During the warmer months, immerse yourself in the lush greenery of our 3/4-acre private garden, surrounded by tranquil settings. Enjoy the melodies of nature as you sip your morning coffee or dine al fresco under the twinkling stars

In the colder seasons, retreat to the cozy comforts of your villa, where you can unwind and recharge for your next Columbus adventure. Delight in the subtle beauty of our garden as it gracefully transitions to winter, with a dusting of snow visible through the villa's windows in every direction.

The Garden Villa is the ultimate destination for leisure travelers, staycations, and special occasions alike. It's a hushed haven that awaits your arrival.

Please ensure you carefully review all house rules before booking a stay. Please also note that due to the weather in the Midwest, the outdoor tub is available only during the warmer months, typically from the beginning of May through early November. The ideal outdoor activity temperature here in Columbus, Ohio also falls within the same time frame, should you wish to utilize the outdoor amenities.

Charming and quaint cottage rental

Great cottage for short stays in the Columbus area. Much better than staying in a hotel room. The king bed was super comfortable. All the amenities were very nice except for the shower which was ok but just a bit small. Highly recommend this rental!!

Peaceful Getaway

Very charming, quaint property tucked away in a peaceful location, yet close proximity to all of your needs. The grounds are reminiscent of The Secret Garden. Unfortunately, it rained the entire stay and was unable to enjoy the outdoor areas. Would love to visit again in order to do so. Cleanliness equates to comfort and the property is meticulously maintained. The time there exceeded my expectations.

Beautiful setting for a getaway

This VRBO is so pretty and secluded, yet is relatively close to much of you want to see. It took us about 20 minutes to to our destinations. The information sheet left for us was very helpful when it came to the restaurants and stores close to us. The room is like a suite in a hotel. There is a large closet so you don't need to clutter up the room with luggage. The bed was very comfortable. The room had everything we needed. I needed to use my cane on some of the outdoor uneven pavement and steps, but there is only ever one step down or up at a time, so I was fine. If you have a concern about wheelchair accessibility, talk to the manager. He answers questions promptly, and I feel would be very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the sights we visited in Columbus, and would recommend this place to a friend.

Our stay at Simon's house was truly amazing. My wife and I decided to stay at Simon's home during our wedding weekend. It truly enhanced the moment for us. The grounds are so beautiful and the home was extremely clean and comfortable to stay in. I would highly recommend his property.
