We stayed here to go visit the Columbus Zoo & loved how close it was (15 minute drive). Jordan thought of everything & we were able to cook several meals while we were there. The place was very clean & easy to find. We loved the fenced in back yard too for our dogs. 🐕

The Cottage | Parking + Private Patio + Fast WiFi

LeeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great stay in Columbus! There were plenty of places that were walkable from the house. Having the yard was nice for sitting outside in the evening on a warmer spring night. For what its worth, the next door neighbors have a basketball hoop on the garage and teens were playing out there and hit our car at least twice that we heard. Not a negative review on the spot but just FYI. Thanks for everything Kate & Nat!

ComfyCozy 2br home priv.parking 10min to dntwn

TylerRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Quaint, comfy home that is not far from downtown Columbus. Home is very clean and decor is minimalist and spacious. Only issue we had was that the road outside is fairly busy even at night so it's common to hear loud cars going by, especially with their music blasting as they do so. Nothing the owner can do about it, but something to be aware of if you have small children or infants trying to sleep. Otherwise this was a great little home and also surprisingly caters to pet owners. We'll definitely visit this Air BnB again in the future.

Home Away From Home

Kaelyn & ChristianRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I stayed at Danielle’s place with three friends. We were in town for the Arnold Sports Festival. The commute to the convention center was really easy. The location was perfect to be away from the hustle and bustle while keeping the daily commute simple. The house and amenities were just as described and perfect to meet our needs while we were in town. Danielle and her co-host were very communicative and supportive of a later than expected check in. We had no issues with our stay and would consider staying again in the future!

Charming house close to German Village

KathleenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is our second stay with Amanda and our family had an excellent time on both occasions. There was plenty of space for all of us to be more than comfortable - lots of extra linens available too. The kitchen was clean and had all of the necessary appliances to keep my coffee and tea drinking family content. An assortment of board games and a Foosball table along with televisions kept the kids occupied while we were in the house. So many places within walking distance for food, beverage, and shopping opportunities - The Book Loft should not be missed! Thank you for another great stay!
