Located just 20 minutes from Fort Moore and under 10 minutes from the riverfront and downtown, it offers unbeatable convenience. After exploring, relax on the front porch swing! We also have an awesome Tiny Home in the back available for separate rental—just search for Columbus Tiny House. We provide both professional photos and real-time images from our cleaning team, ensuring transparency about your stay.

The Space:
Whether you are wanting to relax on the front porch, grill out in the back yard, detox in the tub, or cook a big meal in the kitchen, we want this to be a cozy home away from home. Work from any room in this mansion with the extra strong Wifi!
Fans of historic homes will love the stain glass, original floors, and other details. The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms are all fully furnished and complete with all amenities. This place is great for family and friends to spend time together.

The Neighborhood:
This is a historic neighborhood with stable families. Very safe and neighbors are all very friendly.

Getting Around:
We recommend driving and have parking available for guests' vehicles. However, Uber and Lyft are available in the area if needed.

Other Things to Note:
***A pack 'n play/travel crib is available upon request.***

We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 21 years of age to book.
If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.
We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.

Interaction with Guests:
My wife and I live in another house downtown and are available if guests have any questions, but typically we just leave a key outside.

Church men's retreat

Conference

Nice place could be better arranged. The group was different ages and disappointed no TVS in the rooms because we were so spread out. In stead of a sitting room the bunkbeds could have been in there but we understand big house more beds. Didn’t feel safe with the guy and his dog in the back. Wish we knew he was going to be there. Wish the windows had treatment to block out seeing into the property when lights were on. Door needed upstairs one of the bathrooms and would have preferred front entrance if guest was going to rent the small house. Didn’t feel safe after seeming the police and ambulance and the smell marijuana after returning from our very formal banquet on Saturday. Some of the quest left early because of that. However that was beyond property control . Very clean and spacious

Great gathering place for my extended family.

This was a great house for little to big people. We hung out on the porch, the room with tables,and the front room a lot. 18 of us for the stay with 4 extra a few hours 1 afternoon to celebrated our matriarchs 92nd birthday. Finding a place to fit all of my children and grandchildren all out of state was a chore, but this place was a perfect fit.

Great stay for a large group!

8 of us stayed here for 3 nights while in town for a ceremony at Ft Moore. The house had plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. All amenities you needed were there. Location was quiet, and close to downtown where the main shops and restaurants m were. Only about 15 mins from Ft Moore. Would certainly stay again.

Great family get together!

It needs more lighting in all the rooms. Quite a few light bulbs were out and needed to be replaced. Other than that, the location is good for quick access to the downtown area and eating places,nice quiet neighborhood, needed heavier curtains to block out the street lights at night.

mixed experience

A few issues: AC did not cool the home; first night very uncomfortable; 3 vents downstairs had no air flow. We thought we had booked the tiny house in the back but when it didn't unlock we called reservations number- we were told someone else had it reserved (no one used it all weekend, it was available) - we had to rent a hotel room to have enough beds so the family was not all together. not what we expected.

Army Graduation

Had an amazing time. The only initial setback was the operations of the home heating system. The Thermostats failed and the dwelling was temped at 55 degrees. We call the concern in and it was corrected within a couple of hours. The Tech on site Will was amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate us and correct the issue. He had to make a couple of trips but did an amazing job and was very professional in his approach to our concerns. We could not be more happy and look forward to future visits.

Large, charming old house

The high ceilings and many original features makes it an attractive house. The kitchen has quality cabinets, but has suffered a bit, e.g. the integrated garbage bin slides out constantly and there is a brick (!) to keep it shut. Pot and pans and basics like a colander are missing if you want to cook for a larger group as well as the number of chairs in the dining room as a collection we had to assemble from across the house. Shops and restaurants are just a few minutes away by car but the house is in the middle of a residential area, not connected to the town center. Check in and communication was easy and seamless. Be prepared that the driveway and backyard has shared access with the house in the back, I.e. suddenly ‘strangers‘ are walking through the backyard. Just good to know.

Mediocre review

This is the first time I am giving a detailed review because the house was not what we were hoping for mainly due to not being properly cleaned upon arrival. The floors had crumbs and were not mopped (large spill leaving dirt near kitchen). Dining room had crumbs and dust bunnies at table legs and Under bench. We had to wipe down the stovetop due to food crumbs and smears. There were spider webs on the ceiling. As to furniture, two metal dining room chairs are bent and unsafe and one chair in downstairs small bedroom has a broken leg. I am disappointed with the lack of cleanliness. I do appreciate the charm of an old house which would be much better if it was properly clean. As to the kitchen - items are lacking such as cooking spatula and spoons, only two old melted like ones in drawer, need better cutting boards and more than one cloth kitchen towel. Honestly, we left the kitchen cleaner than we found it. At least two toilets have loose bases. Also, there were roaches in the downstairs main bathroom (with footed tub) as well as a huge spider we had to smash which made us notice the many spiderwebs. There are good features- the many sleeping options, the size of the home, the old house details.

Big house that has Big issues

I was not going to give a review for this rental but I recieved several emails wanting me to review this house. So, I am going to give you a true and honest review. There were rocking chairs and swing advertised online, but There are NO ROCKERS or SWING. The one and only TV in the house was very difficult to work. I fell inside the house while there and I repeatedly tried to call/text the numbers I was given with absolutely no response. I am still having trouble with my leg and knee where I fell. The "Nest" A/C system was a mess because it was preset by someone who was not even around us to know how hot it was with 11 people there. The online ad said that there is a small house in the back of the big house that I could use for my convenience, but the small house had people going in and out of it at all times day and night. Walking within inches of our cars and the windows of the big house. The front porch railing need lots of work around the stairs. I would like to say somethings good about the house, it was big enough for our entire family to gather together. So, for that I am very grateful!!! Being together was the MAIN REASON for coming to Columbus anyway. With that being said the house definitely needs a lot of love to bring it up to par for renting, but if you have a big family wanting to gather then after some work on the house rent this place. This could be a Great rental.
