Very nice 1 bedroom with a comfortable living room couch (seemingly rarer and rarer these days with short term rentals) and a lot of nice and thoughtful extras that were much appreciated. Would stay again
The home was in a great location between Galina and Polaris - with a lot of options for food and things to do. The communication with the owner was easy with very quick responses.
The property is in a great location, perfect for access to the lake. Very comfortable, with adorable decor. The owner was very helpful. Thank you so much.
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!
Excellent! Beautiful rooms, good climate control and amenities. Very accurate description. The host has gone above and beyond to make this a comfortable and peaceful apartment. Thank you Terry!
Property was very well-thought out. Attention to detail in the small touches, decor, and overall organization and layout really impressed us. The location was also excellent! Very close to everything in the area that you might want or need. We will definitely be staying here again next time we're in the area!
This was our 2nd stay and it did not disappoint. We were able to enthe spacious back yard and let our toddler run around safely after a long car ride.The property was clean and welcoming, with everything we needed and more! The host was communicative priot to the trip and we did not have any unanswered questions when we got there!
Booked this rental for a business trip and it turned out to be perfect for me.
Plenty of cool touches like stocked coffee, a bottle of wine at check in and very comfy bed/pillows.
Highly recommend!
We were in town to visit the zoo and found this affordable space. It was very clean and charmingly decorated. The host was very communicative prior to the stay with a couple of questions we had about the space. I definitely recommend this property!
The place is great! So cute and clean. Our host quickly responded when we needed light bulbs…all taken care of quickly and efficiently. Love the trails at nearby Alum Creek too!
My friend and I stayed here for two nights while we were traveling for animal encounters at the Columbus zoo. The Galena Getaway was wonderful for the two of us. Clean, easy to find and very comfortable. Very enjoyable!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Lovely, peaceful haven. Loved sitting on the back deck overlooking the back yard Terry installed a portable air conditioner in about 5 minutes for our last night as weather got quite warm on our last day.
