Easy access to the Ohio State University, downtown Dublin, trendy Bridge Park, and quaint downtown Powell. Nearby dining options, shopping, golf, and family-friendly attractions. A comfortable and convenient place to stay, with all the amenities of home.
Enjoyable space with plenty of entertainment options. Crack open one of the many board games, enjoy a game or two of pool, and then kick back and enjoy a movie on the 85” television with surround sound! Open living with full kitchen, one and half baths, and laundry. Each room features a comfy king size bed and TV.
Outside, guests can enjoy a large patio with lots of seating, large dining table, propane grill, propane-powered fire pit, many outdoor games, and an outdoor TV. The tree-lined backyard has plenty of greenspace to enjoy, and a second, more traditional firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. We also offer a large playset for kids to enjoy, just note that it is a shared amenity that our family may use as well.
We provide an extensive array of amenities for your stay, including toiletries, towels, bedding, extra blankets and pillows, fans, kitchen supplies, spices, and additional supplies for infants and toddlers. Please reach out if you have additional questions about what we provide- the less stuff you have to pack, the better!
Our linens and home are professionally cleaned with effective yet gentle and unscented products. We are a non-smoking home, and we do not allow pets in the guest suite (we do have a cat that lives upstairs with us). These policies allows us to be inclusive of guests with allergies, asthma, or other sensitivities. We are happy to accommodate any special requests as best we can.
For stays of 30 nights or more, a signed lease is required and will be sent via email—we request you provide your email address upon booking. Pets may be allowed for stays of 30 nights or more with host approval, with a $200 fee per pet.
Guest have a private entrance by following the stairs on the right of garage down to the French doors with push button access via private code. The suite is completely separated from our private residence. We use the front and side doors to access our family's portion of the house, and guests access the suite through French doors on the back patio. You may see us in the driveway or on the playset, but we make a point to respect our guests' privacy and not disturb them.
We are as available to assist as need be. We live on the upper level of the house, and can be as hands on or off as guests prefer. We're always happy to meet new friends or provide hands-on assistance whenever needed, but we default to giving guests as much independence and privacy as possible.
The home is located in a quiet, tree-filled neighborhood on the Scioto River. Walking distance to bars, restaurants, diners, and shops. A quick bike ride on the gorgeous bike path down to downtown Powell, historic downtown Dublin and Bridge Park, the Columbus Zoo, and Muirfield Golf Club. Explore the surrounding area, or relax on the large patio and spot deer, birds, and other furry creatures that frequent our park-like setting.
Walking, biking, and driving are all great ways to get around here. Ask us about a local bike rental program!
