Multi-day Indoor Youth Football Touney

We arrived at 7pm on a Friday and departed at 11:00 sharp Sunday. My two sons, 10 & 12 and I participated in several youth football games at the Nexus Park complex in Columbus. I don't do well with loud hotels and kids running up and down the halls all night, so VBRO is the way to go. The house was very cozy, clean and with essentially four sleeping areas, wifi and full kitchen, we were right at home. We made breakfast each morning and enjoyed our time. Will stay again.Highly recommended.

Just as described!

Owners went above and beyond for us, leaving me a few items I asked for. The place was immaculate and in such a cute neighborhood walking distance to the really neat downtown! We would definitely stay again!

Great Location!

The house was very cute, plenty of space for our family of four. We were in Columbus for a baseball tournament, and it was nice to have room to relax after a day at the ball field. The location was perfect for dining, shopping the outlets, and we had an easy commute to Ceraland Sports Park.

Our stay was good our only complaint was the creaky flooring/stairs. Couldn’t go to the bathroom after going to bed without waking your partner due to the floors being so noisy.

Very clean & roomy

The property was very clean and had nice amenities. One bed was hard but that is going to suit everyone differently. It was in walking distance to downtown which was very nice. We would not hesitate to stay at this location again!
