This house was great for our family and grandparents to stay at for OSU graduation. The only suggestion would be to leave for dishwasher pods for washing.

I stayed here with some co-workers to attend a conference at OSU. The location, in Victorian Village, is within a 20 min walk to the university union, where the conference was held. I could not be more pleased with the house and location. The house if very large, with 4 bedrooms, and has a nice back patio where I spent much of my time. It also has a private back yard that is great for a cookout. There are photos in the living room showing the house before and after restoration. The change is truly amazing.
On the early morning of the day we were to check out we got notice that our flight had been canceled and rescheduled for the next morning. After much effort we found alternate flights from Dayton, but not leaving until the afternoon. I asked for a 2-hour extension in checkout time and it was given. That made a very long travel day a little bit more relaxing and was appreciated by all.
There is no doubt that I would want to stay here again if traveling with a small group of friends.

Great location and house for our stay.
Only issue I had was some communications from the owner indicated an email to reach out to for questions, while the preferred method after we finally got dialog started was the VRBO message board. Delayed getting the answer some, but once we were messaging on the same platform the communication was great.

We were so happy to see that the description of the home was very accurate. We went to Ohio for my mother’s memorial. I needed somewhere with no stress. Guess what? I couldn’t find stress anywhere! I looked everywhere and all was perfect no stress to be found. Haha on a serious note, this part of my visit really made a difference. My hosts were both so nice and were just a phone call away. I will do this again when I need to. Bye bye hotel hello Vrbo!

We stayed at this property for the weekend visiting our daughter at Ohio State. This was a great location for this trip. The house had more than enough space for us to enjoy. It was very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. It is in a great location as we were a short distance from both campus and the Short North restaurants. The house also had a great backyard. We will definitely look to stay here again on future visits. Also, the communication with the property managers was great and they were very accommodating to a few requests we made. Overall, a great experience.

The house was perfect inside and out. We had plenty of space to entertain. The fenced in back yard was great for our Golden Retriever to play and the 4 space off street parking was ridiculously convenient. My wife and I couldn’t have been happier during a cozy winter weekend.

We had a wonderful time! Big Gray is in the perfect location for exploring Columbus. The home is large and comfortable. We had 4 adults and my service dog and all were very happy. The fenced yard was just right for my dog. We had a pre-Chriztmas with local family and there was ample parking, room in the kitchen for 4 cooks and seating for all 8 of us. We had a fantastic time. Thank you for providing such a lovely place!

We could not have picked a better location for a stay with our grown kids for a family wedding. Beautiful Victorian design was perfectly laid out and furnished for our group, and owners thought of everything visitors might need, down to the last detail.

The location and size of the Victorian Village was perfect for our group. We were able to walk to a small liquor store and a taco shop and drive to great restaurant and bar areas very easily. We used the large kitchen and BBQ setup a few times and really loved the house overall. Very comfortable and perfect for our group.

We four college roommates met in Columbus to “revisit” our Ohio State days. The property was close to everything we wanted to do. There were numerous restaurants close by. The house is newly remodeled and was very roomy. The only two drawbacks were there was only one TV in the house and the person staying in one of the 2nd floor bedrooms did not have immediate access to a bathroom. There is no main available bathroom on the 2nd floor as both the bathrooms are in the bedrooms.

This house is beautiful! Exactly as pictured. All rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. It’s very clean! Renters were very responsive. Would love to stay here or at another one of their properties when we return to Columbus.

Beautiful house! We all loved the green cabinets and open concept lower living. Everything was so nicely done. The smoke detectors need a little love… the battery went out night one and then chirped twice in the middle of the night the next night. Talk about a scare!!! However, everything else was amazing!

Great spot in Columbus
Can summarize the property simply by restating what my wife exclaimed upon entering the house: "Wow! I love it!" Pretty much says it all. Great location, large, roomy house, comfortable beds, Smart TV plus many cable channels.

We loved everything about this property. Location was great. The pictures don't do the property its justice! Comfortable, well decorated, functional, and feels like a modern new house. Loved the backyard, our doggie could use. We would have stayed for longer if we could. Thank you so much.
