Short stay but great

We only stayed for two nights but it was a great stay. We needed something that we could bring our dog to and this was perfect. The owners are very nice. The fenced area for dogs was great. Beds are comfy and the place was clean. We will keep this place in mind for future stays for sure. Thanks Doc, for your hospitality. My 4 year old also had a great time playing with all the toys in the barn.

Airport trip

Needed an overnight near escape room, food, nail spa,& in route to airport. Run by Lovely people around for assistance. I believe they made their own board game so that was neat to see. If we had more time we would’ve given it a go! The bedrooms were comfy and the amenities were plenty.

Just what we were looking for!

The property was very clean and had plenty of space for our family of six plus our dog. The neighborhood was nice and it was minutes away from Alum Creek’s beach and campsite. The dog park was a great bonus. The hosts communicated well and were welcoming.

Great place for family trips

This is a wonderful property for families as there are tons of activities on property for kids and adults as well! It is also in a great location to do the numerous activities that Columbus has to offer and is surrounded by great restaurants and shops. I would only put in a word of caution that this property is very close to the owner's house; however, they did do a great job of providing privacy in the rental house as much as possible.

❤️ Wonderful hospitality!

Doc and Carrie could not be better hosts! There are so many fun things to do on the property… fire pit, tons of yard toys, and a really big fenced in dog park. The grounds were immaculate. Even with all that fun, we still got a very quiet night’s sleep. What a gem in Lewis Center!

Nice weekend trip

We enjoyed this property and had a nice family get away visiting the National Museum of the US Air Force, Columbus Zoo and Ohio Caverns. The hosts were excellent communicators providing all the details and many extras. Property is located close to shopping and restaurants. We found the bedrooms very comfy and well appointed. Wonderful amenities including a perfect size hot tub, basketball hoop and more. Thank you!!

Fantastic! Everything we were looking for!

Just recently stayed at the Mad Cat Inn for a weekend of boating on Alum Creek. Can’t say enough about the cleanliness and quality of this rental. And the amount of toys and other things to do there are endless. We will have to come back and stay longer next time. Hosts were super helpful and friendly. Just loved staying here! Will be back.

Last minute getaway

Beautiful property and fun for all ages. Our teenage boys loved the toy barn! We grilled burgers and sweet corn on the patio and it felt like home. We were surprised with all the extras too like coffee/filters, laundry pods/dryer sheets, some seasonings for cooking and even a makeup washcloth which is a genius idea. Thanks for making our trip special after the hurricane ruined our Grand Cayman plans. Definitely will stay again sometime.

My family came into town for my daughter’s graduation from OWU. It was the perfect location, Doc and Carrie were so wonderful, the perfect place for our family to enjoy the celebration together. This felt like home away from home, the attention to detail was like no other I have been to, I would recommend this location to anyone who is in the area, you will not be disappointed.

Great location and hosts

The property was perfect for a family gathering of six adults. We especially loved the heated toy barn, which was perfect for playing ping pong and corn hole during the cold January days. Unfortunately, it was too cold for us to enjoy the hot tub, but it was available and looked nice. We did not have pets, but the dog park was very large and well maintained. Communication was great and very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Christmas stay

This was our fourth consecutive Christmas at The Mad Cat Inn. It has consistently been amazing. Through the years the condition of the inn has been perfect. The only change we have noticed is ever improvement in amenities and rotation of Christmas decorations so it never seems exactly the same. Doc and Carrie are wonderful hosts. We hope to return

Amazing property!

Spent the weekend with my 2 best friends and our kids for a little mini vacation together. We couldn't have asked for more on our stay. The rental was perfect for us with the 3 bedrooms and very clean. Loved the personalized Mad Cat Inn coffee, the stocked kitchen and the extra toiletries in the bathrooms. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub. The kids absolutely loved the toy barn and begged to stay at least one more night, saying it was the coolest place ever lol. Close to Alum Creek Beach which was also very nice. Doc and Carrie really thought of everything and were friendly, sweet and amazing hosts! We would definitely stay again and might make this an annual tradition. Thank you Doc and Carrie for everything!!

The absolute BEST experience!

We are still blown away by the hospitality at the Mad Cat Inn! Doc and Carrie truly thought of every single detail and provided us with everything we could possibly need during our stay, even things we wouldn’t have thought we needed. From the tiniest of details, to the thoughtful touches like having children’s books and toys that our kids absolutely loved, to the holiday decor - we are just beyond impressed and so grateful to have had such a beautiful place to stay! The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and the detailed communication was much appreciated too. We will definitely be back again for another stay! THANK YOU!!!
