Garden getaway

The Garden Villa was probably one of my top 3 VRBO stays ever. There was an amazing number of conveniences included, from the Nespresso machine to the heated toilet seat. We got a big kick out of the outdoor bathtub. thaunique.

We stayed in the villa for my husband’s birthday weekend. The grounds are lovely and the villa itself is cozy and well equipped. The location is convenient to just about everything in the Dublin and surrounding areas.

Charming and quaint cottage rental

Great cottage for short stays in the Columbus area. Much better than staying in a hotel room. The king bed was super comfortable. All the amenities were very nice except for the shower which was ok but just a bit small. Highly recommend this rental!!

Peaceful Getaway

Very charming, quaint property tucked away in a peaceful location, yet close proximity to all of your needs. The grounds are reminiscent of The Secret Garden. Unfortunately, it rained the entire stay and was unable to enjoy the outdoor areas. Would love to visit again in order to do so. Cleanliness equates to comfort and the property is meticulously maintained. The time there exceeded my expectations.

Beautiful setting for a getaway

This VRBO is so pretty and secluded, yet is relatively close to much of you want to see. It took us about 20 minutes to to our destinations. The information sheet left for us was very helpful when it came to the restaurants and stores close to us. The room is like a suite in a hotel. There is a large closet so you don't need to clutter up the room with luggage. The bed was very comfortable. The room had everything we needed. I needed to use my cane on some of the outdoor uneven pavement and steps, but there is only ever one step down or up at a time, so I was fine. If you have a concern about wheelchair accessibility, talk to the manager. He answers questions promptly, and I feel would be very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the sights we visited in Columbus, and would recommend this place to a friend.
