Welcome to your home base in Columbus — where historic Short North character meets modern luxury. This fully restored 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence sleeps up to 12 and is ideally located on the border of The Short North and The Ohio State University campus. Walk to coffee shops, local art galleries, sports venues, and some of the city’s best restaurants and nightlife.

Inside, you’ll find beautifully preserved 19th-century woodwork, high ceilings, and curated local art throughout. The custom Fortin Iron Works quartz dining table anchors the main level — perfect for shared meals, work sessions, or game nights. Original kitchen cabinetry and island blend seamlessly with updated fixtures and dual Navien tankless systems, ensuring endless hot water for large groups. Large smart TVs in nearly every room and a bluetooth Sonos surround sound bar for music and a cinematic sports and movie experience in the living room.

Three king bedrooms, a queen-over-queen bunk room, and a queen sleeper sofa offer plenty of space to unwind. Every detail has been designed for comfort and connection — from premium mattresses and linens to thoughtfully placed lighting and art.

Every bathroom is stocked with spa-grade Pharmacopia amenities — organic Verbena shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion — along with Dr. Bronner’s gentle face cleanser and Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap at every sink. We also provide Free & Clear Tide Pods for laundry and eco-friendly cleaning supplies, ensuring a fresh, fragrance-free environment for sensitive guests.

Step outside to the backyard oasis: a Hot Spring hot tub, 65” outdoor TV, large grill, griddle, propane fire pit, and dining and lounge areas under string lights. Soak after a game, warm up by the fire on a cold night, or watch the game outdoors. The backyard and hot tub are shared with guests of the separate 1-bedroom unit at the rear of the property. The hot tub is open 7 AM–10 PM, and its rules are in the house manual.

Street parking is easy with complimentary permits for up to five vehicles provided for your stay.

Whether you’re in town for a Buckeyes game, business travel, or a weekend getaway with family and friends, this home offers a rare mix of location, style, and authenticity — right in the heart of Columbus.

Guest access

Guests have exclusive access to the entire front home, including all 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, living, dining, kitchen, and laundry areas. The only shared element is the outdoor backyard space, which is spacious, well-lit, and shared respectfully with the separate 1-bedroom unit at the rear of the property. Each unit has its own private entrance and is completely independent inside.

You’ll enjoy keyless self check-in, and we’ll provide free street parking permits for up to five vehicles for the duration of your stay.
