Summary: One of the most unique properties in the city. Our log cabin is the oldest structure in Franklin county. Built in 1805, the cabin has been moved, added onto and changed throughout the last two centuries. Located in an off-campus neighborhood, this one of a kind home will take you back in time but give you the modern amenities you need to be comfortable during your stay. The Space: This rustic three bedroom has three bedrooms, kitchen, living space and even a hidden room (if you can find it). There is plenty of room to gather with friends or family and play a game or relax. There is also outside seating in a partially fenced yard to enjoy a quiet, relaxing experience. The main floor has a large living room with fireplace, TV and seating to enjoy some time together. Large bedroom with double bed, and 1/2 bathroom. Upstairs you will find a full bathroom, and 2 more bedrooms. One with a double bed, and one with 2 twin beds. Guest Access: You will be able to access the outdoor space and all of the rooms in the property. Anything in the house is yours to use for your stay! One thing you will not have access to is the utility closet. You will have one parking space off the alley and there is street parking not far from the home. The Neighborhood: Old North Columbus is a neighborhood located just north of the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. It was founded in 1847 where, at the time, it was a stand-alone city out of the confines of Columbus until it was incorporated into the City of Columbus in 1871\. In its early years the city was a popular stagecoach stop with people traveling from Worthington to Columbus. Today Old North Columbus is popular for its local music and its unique "untouched architecture" which is reminiscent of its old roots. Getting Around: Uber and Lyft are great ways to get around in Columbus, and our central location allows you to get to most parts of downtown in under 10 minutes, and most other parts of Columbus in under 20 minutes. We also are close to a COTA public bus stop. Also available in Columbus are a bike share, and scooters!

Dec 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Comfortable We enjoyed our stay in the log cabin. There we only two of us and a dog that came up for a vet appt at Ohio State, and it was a perfect location for that. Also like that there was a bit of yard that we could take our dog out to explore after a long car ride. ##### Bernadette W. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olga P.

Oct 30, 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Cool Historical Site - not a good place to stay over night The cabin was as the description said, but it was not fit to stay in. There were huge stains on the throw rugs, and it was not clean. The shower had some kind of creepy stains on the floor. There was just a board in front of the fireplace hole, and a field mouse kept running across the living room from the fireplace. We left because of the mice, and it was extremely difficult to contact someone. They tried to relocate us, but the response time was not fast. I wanted to talk to someone, and all I could get was text messages, from something that seemed AI based. They were in a different time zone. We were sitting in the dark at 1:00 AM waiting for a response in our car. We gave up and went home. The cabin is located in a college housing area, so there was a lot of noise and movement late at night. I do not recommend staying here unless they make a few improvements. ##### Sherri C.
