This is one of the nicest most organized clean properties that I have stayed at! it was so easy with our pets. there was a dog park, fire pit hose to wash things with, they seem to have thought of every little detail to make our stay very very comfortable.

What a Treat for Me & My Pups

The Calico Cottage was more of a retreat than the business trip I was using it for! Perfect, quiet space with everything you could need in a convenient location to stores & restaurants. They even have a huge private dog park with a firepit inside of it so guests can hang out while their dogs run around like crazy. We will definitely be back!!

Great host and property

This was easily one of the best STRs I've stayed at. Exactly as advertised, EXCEPTIONALLY clean, modern, thoughtful, and comfortable. Perfect for a couple or small family traveling with pets. The half acre dog park complete with fire pit and seating area makes for an awesome relaxation spot with your fur kids. The owner was lightning fast to respond and always available. I'd book again in a heartbeat.

Lovely Cabin Centrally Located

Beautiful property centrally located. Very easy to get around to Columbus, Polaris Mall, Easton Center, Worthington, and Delaware. There are so many amenities-everything is on premise. The owners thought of everything so there is no need to bring a lot of extra items. Very clean and nicely decorated.Would highly recommend for couples, family, fur baby parents, and parents with young children.

Holiday stay at the Calico Cottage

What a lovely visit at the Calico Cottage. We have family in Powell, and we’re always looking for a close place to stay with our dogs. This was the perfect place, in a great area with just the right amenities. The only downside was trying to get our dogs to leave the amazing dog park on the property. They absolutely loved it too! Will definitely be back.

Beautiful Property and Friendly Host

Came for Memorial Day weekend getaway. Brought our dogs who loved the dog park to run free. As did our 2 yr old. The toy barn is stacked with all kinds of games, ride em cars, drifters, any thing you could want. Clean property, and lots to do nearby. Doc and his wife even provided baby specific toys and pack n play crib for our arrival. Very communicative and kind people. Baby enjoyed his first fire pit, s’mores and golf cart ride! Highly recommend.

Weekend fishing trip

Stayed at Calico Cottage while on a fishing trip to Alum Creek Reservoir. Great location. Minutes from the lake, stores and Cabela’s. Extremely clean and every necessity you could possibly need was provided. Would definitely come back on our next fishing trip.

Best Cottage on VRBO

"I booked the cottage just a couple of days before my arrival, and everything went smoothly. The owners were great at communicating, and the cottage was perfect—equipped with everything I needed. I felt completely safe on the property. Having traveled to all 50 states, I can confidently say this is one of the best rentals I've found on VRBO. The owner even provided excellent restaurant recommendations. I'm hesitant to share this gem because I want to keep it a secret, but I will definitely be back!"

Great Get Away

Such a cute, homey feel! The dog park was a big hit with our dog, being a city dog, he doesn’t usually get to zoom off leash. Nearby beautiful neighborhood with sidewalks for dog walks. We wanted for nothing, very well stocked kitchen and bathroom. Hot tub was lovely! The hosts even accommodated a late check out to better facilitate our travel home. It was a great get away.

We were in town from Florida to meet our new grand daughter and this rental was perfect for our needs. We brought our 2 small dogs and they loved the dog park. Doc was very responsive and kind and we'll definitely stay here again if we are back in town.
