Cozy Spot

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.

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!

Great and Convenient stay!

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.

Beautiful Space

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!

Galena Getaway

If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely be staying here! Our time here was very short lived, as we really only utilized the house to sleep, but we absolutely loved the time we did spend here. Everything was so cozy and elegant, and the hosts were so accommodating. 10/10!

Family gathering place

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
