Great Stay!

We had a great time! Our first time using a VRBO property for a vacation was a success, all thanks to the lovely accomodations offered by our host. The property was exactly as we envisioned. Everything was clean and well thought out. We would stay here again if we're ever in the area.

Great place close to park system and lake. Clean. Nice yard that we wished we had time to use during our quick stay. Steps to unit are a tricky, as they are a bit steep. Would stay again.

Cute bungalow!

The bungalow was very clean and stocked with everything we needed to have a great weekend! It was nice to have motion lights on the stairs at night, and it was close to Polaris area and Alum Creek which was very convenient! Would definitely stay again!

Cozy Spot

Originally booked for 3 adults and a toddler but one adult ended up staying elsewhere because the only bathroom was accessed through the bedroom and the walls didn’t reach to the ceiling. Cute place for a couple or small family, several nice amenities.

Beautiful Space

We enjoyed our morning cup of coffee (supplied by our Host) out on the deck. The inside is beautifully decorated, adequately supplied, and the bed was very comfortable! The entrance steps are steep and a bit tricky for older folks like us (60’s) but overall we had a PERFECT stay!

Affordable & Near the Lake

PROS:- Very clean, fine amenities. - Most importantly for us, it's VERY close to the lake, only a minute or two to drive there.- Excellent spacious back-yard with fire pit and legit frolf goal.CONS:- The only bad thing I can say about the property is that some of the deck wood shows signs of termite damage, and the chimney exterior could use a patch-up, but none of that impacted our stay in any way.

Great and Convenient stay!

Close enough to the highway and close to tons of greater-Columbus activities. The Polaris mall less than 10 minutes away and surrounding area has lots to do. Easton mall is also just a short drive. The Cinemark movie theater is amazing too, it has great seats. The property itself was very clean and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting, especially compared to staying in a hotel.

Beautiful Place

We really loved the property and the room was absolutely gorgeous and quite cozy. We were in Ohio for my son to shoot in the National Championship so we didn’t get to spend a whole lot of time in the room. I injured my knee a couple of months ago so the steps were a little difficult, but other than that it was great! The host responded quickly to every question.

Perfect home away from home

The inside of the property was beautiful and comfortable. Terry had everything we needed to enjoy our stay there: Premade fire pit out back for making s’mores. Flat and open yard where we played catch. Cute little kitchenette for making our ‘on the go’ quick meals. The coffee bar was also delightful. There is nothing better than a good morning cup of coffee to soak in the tranquility of the space before our chaotic Zoo-extravaganza began each day. My daughter is already talking about next year’s Columbus Zoo trip and staying there again. Thank you for your hospitality, Terry.
