Hockey tournament at the Fairgrounds

Rented this property since it was pretty close to the arena and it was fantastic...close to good food, just outside the city and near the campus. Safe area with the option of back alley parking or front street which was always available.the host answered questions quickly and was helpful with area recommendations.....overall great time and great house

Weekend trip

A group of 4 of us stayed here while competing in a curling tournament. The house served our needs well. The listing might indicate that the games room is actually also the fourth bedroom but it wasn’t a big deal as we all found the accommodations comfortable.

The host made it easy!

This adorable house was the perfect location for our one-night stay in Columbus. We were there for a very sad reason: our beloved brother-in-law/uncle was in hospice and we were there to say goodbye. It is a rare VRBO that doesn’t have a list of to-dos before checkout. But the 5th Street Retreat messaged me that we didn’t need to do a thing as we were leaving. I can imagine staying at this property for football weekends or visiting your kids at OSU

Great house for OSU football

Clean property with plenty of room. Owner was responsive and checked on us during our stay, even letting us check in early. Only critique would be the fourth bedroom on listing is actually a basement with a trundle bed. Great location to walk to campus and bars/restaurants in North Short District. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Halfway meeting place for the Holiday

Overall, we had a good stay. Would have liked more seating in the main room, as we were 6 adults and 2 dogs staying there. The backyard is nice, though someone went out with the dogs every time as there were several gaps in the fence that a skinny wiggly 40 lb dog could slip through. Several low maintenance tasks were noted and mainly did not interfere with our fun. Quiet neighborhood near plenty of places. Thanks for the hospitality.

Home away from home

We were in Columbus for a week long youth horse show at the fairgrounds. It was nice to be able to go "home" after a long day at the show. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again. Communication with the owner/property manager was a breeze!

Nice place

On a 1-10 I give it an 8. What would make it a 10? ( I stay at a lot of vrbos)-fix fridge ice/water dispenser, put tissue box in restrooms, put hooks in bathroom for towels, robes, clothes, put dresser or tables in bedrooms to put stuff on, get a colander in kitchen, add some wine glasses.

Nice stay.

We used this home for a quick 2 night stay while visiting the Columbus area. First floor was spacious and bedrooms were fine for our needs. As others have said the host was very helpful. Note for those with toddlers: There are electrical outlets on the floor in the living room. We bought some painters tape to cover them for the little one.
