Just like home

My new home away from home when I travel to Columbus. Room is always spotless with everything I need for a quick trip. The hosts are very accommodating and helpful when needed. I love the peace and quiet of the area and close access to the highway for getting around the city easily

Perfect room to stay at while in Columbus, OH

Perfect visit! House/Room was adorable. It was clean, organized, and spacious. Owner had everything ready, even sent a text video link on how to access the house, where to park, and how to find room. Excellent customer service!

Lovely guest house hidden in the town just enough away from the hustle. Clean, quiet and the beds were nice and comfortable. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Overall a 5 star experience! Look forward to returning!

Perfect for a Girl's Weekend- mother-daughter trip

My adults daughter and I stayed at this property for a Girl's "weekend" to see the total eclipse in April. This property was just perfect for us! We felt safe in the area, and it was very quiet at night (and during the day). Cute historic area to walk to for dinner. If you are looking for the perfect place to have a Girl's weekend or small family reunion, this is your place! Each of the 3 rooms have 2 double beds! And there is a cute Parlor for the guests to sit in (as well as a beautiful outdoor area). We stayed in the Buchanan room and basically had the parlor to ourselves, which was just out side our room! If we are ever near Canal Winchester again, we will definitely stay here!
This photo is taken from the door of the Daisy Buchanan room...like having a 2 room suite!

LOREN

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort

quaint but impractical

No one is available to let guests into the guest house. Guests are sent a code electronically several hours before arrival time, and that information can be missed if someone is driving. Once inside, guests have no significant flat surfaces for laptops, etc, other than the bed. Bathrooms are extremely tiny, and any electrical grooming must be done before the bedroom mirror.

Quaint House to spend the night in or a weekend get away when passing through the Columbus area. Wish we had more time to visit the cute shops in the area. We stayed to go to a Blue Jackets game. Easy access to the city. Will keep this on our list of places to stay.

This is the second time I have stayed at this property. It’s a nice old converted house that is in good shape. It is within walking distance to the quaint little town of Canal Winchester. The honors make it easy to communicate with them. And the rates are very reasonable. I would recommend staying here if you’re in the area.
