This was our 2nd stay and it did not disappoint. We were able to enthe spacious back yard and let our toddler run around safely after a long car ride.The property was clean and welcoming, with everything we needed and more! The host was communicative priot to the trip and we did not have any unanswered questions when we got there!

10.0 / 10.0

We had a great time! Our first time using a VRBO property for a vacation was a success, all thanks to the lovely accomodations offered by our host. The property was exactly as we envisioned. Everything was clean and well thought out. We would stay here again if we're ever in the area.

10.0 / 10.0

The rental property was exactly as described. Perfect! We will definitely stay here again.

The home was in a great location between Galina and Polaris - with a lot of options for food and things to do. The communication with the owner was easy with very quick responses.

8.0 / 10.0

PROS:- Very clean, fine amenities. - Most importantly for us, it's VERY close to the lake, only a minute or two to drive there.- Excellent spacious back-yard with fire pit and legit frolf goal.CONS:- The only bad thing I can say about the property is that some of the deck wood shows signs of termite damage, and the chimney exterior could use a patch-up, but none of that impacted our stay in any way.

Terry was an excellent host and very commutative. I would reccomend and stay again!

10.0 / 10.0

Very nice area. Close to everything but not in all the traffic & congestion. Decor is beautiful. So nice to have a Keurig coffee maker. Nice for a couple & maybe 1 or 2 children.

8.0 / 10.0

Originally booked for 3 adults and a toddler but one adult ended up staying elsewhere because the only bathroom was accessed through the bedroom and the walls didn’t reach to the ceiling. Cute place for a couple or small family, several nice amenities.

10.0 / 10.0

The Vrbo was comfortable and clean! I enjoyed my stay there!

10.0 / 10.0

Close enough to the highway and close to tons of greater-Columbus activities. The Polaris mall less than 10 minutes away and surrounding area has lots to do. Easton mall is also just a short drive. The Cinemark movie theater is amazing too, it has great seats. The property itself was very clean and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting, especially compared to staying in a hotel.

10.0 / 10.0

This was a cute place located near everything. We enjoyed staying here just to get away for a long weekend. Look forward to future stays. Thank you!

10.0 / 10.0

Exactly as advertised, met all of our needs. Great choice with the TP. One suggestion would be a towel hook closer to the shower. Enjoyed our stay.

10.0 / 10.0

We were in town to visit the zoo and found this affordable space. It was very clean and charmingly decorated. The host was very communicative prior to the stay with a couple of questions we had about the space. I definitely recommend this property!

Property was very well-thought out. Attention to detail in the small touches, decor, and overall organization and layout really impressed us. The location was also excellent! Very close to everything in the area that you might want or need. We will definitely be staying here again next time we're in the area!

10.0 / 10.0

We really loved the property and the room was absolutely gorgeous and quite cozy. We were in Ohio for my son to shoot in the National Championship so we didn’t get to spend a whole lot of time in the room. I injured my knee a couple of months ago so the steps were a little difficult, but other than that it was great! The host responded quickly to every question.

10.0 / 10.0

The inside of the property was beautiful and comfortable. Terry had everything we needed to enjoy our stay there: Premade fire pit out back for making s’mores. Flat and open yard where we played catch. Cute little kitchenette for making our ‘on the go’ quick meals. The coffee bar was also delightful. There is nothing better than a good morning cup of coffee to soak in the tranquility of the space before our chaotic Zoo-extravaganza began each day. My daughter is already talking about next year’s Columbus Zoo trip and staying there again. Thank you for your hospitality, Terry.

10.0 / 10.0

We truly enjoyed the property - a beautiful setting, close to everything, hosts were very responsive to all our inquiries, and the welcoming set-up was so unexpected and appreciated. They set up the bonfire to perfection and allowed us to connect with family in a wonderfully relaxed environment. Every detail was thought out and anticipated, from the Keurig and coffee bar to the bottled water that greeted us. The stairs to access the apartment are on the steep side but the views are so wonderful. There's a private sitting area on the elevated deck overlooking the yard.

10.0 / 10.0

Lovely, peaceful haven. Loved sitting on the back deck overlooking the back yard Terry installed a portable air conditioner in about 5 minutes for our last night as weather got quite warm on our last day.

10.0 / 10.0

We needed a place to stay that was comfortable to catch up,because the three of us live in three different states . We didn't plan on cooking , so we had all we needed. It was a beautiful setting and close to conveniences, even though it felt remote. Sleeping was comfortable, housing very attractive and we would love to come back

Very nice and home like. Everything we needed was there to use. Only negative ws noise level from interstate.

Nice place. Very comfortable bed. Cozy. Nice deck overlooking grassy back yard, which we liked. There is one negative: road noise both day and night.

We came for the funeral of a beloved family member, and are finding comfort in the simple luxuries of the "Getaway". Our hosts have been most kind and shown their care through every little detail. They have gone the extra mile to ensure our comfort. I hope too have the opportunity to visit the Peaceful Getaway again under happier circumstances. Until next time, Liz

10.0 / 10.0

We thoroughly enjoyed the property and our time there. Clean, comfortable, and fun. We would've liked to light a small fire in fireplace but couldn't get that going for some reason. You are close to many things to do there which is nice for options. I loved the updated decor, coziness, games and coffee bar. Thank you!

10.0 / 10.0

Great location near just about everything. Less than 30 minutes from the Columbus Zoo, CoSi, multiple malls and movie theaters, and a ton of dining options. Property was clean and very comfortable. Careful packing heavy luggage, there’s a sorta-steep staircase to the entrance. Careful with the shower curtain, it could be easy to get water all over the bathroom floor if you aren’t paying attention to the bottom. The host is responsive and I only had very positive interactions with them over Vrbo messaging. I’m grateful for the opportunity to stay here with my girlfriend!

The place is great! So cute and clean. Our host quickly responded when we needed light bulbs…all taken care of quickly and efficiently. Love the trails at nearby Alum Creek too!

We enjoyed our morning cup of coffee (supplied by our Host) out on the deck. The inside is beautifully decorated, adequately supplied, and the bed was very comfortable! The entrance steps are steep and a bit tricky for older folks like us (60’s) but overall we had a PERFECT stay!

I didn't realize there were so many stairs when I booked this for my in-laws, but they were fine with it and loved their stay. It was comfortable, clean, and close to our family events. Thanks!!
