Overview
Little Blue at Carriage House is a cozy standalone carriage house tucked into Italian Village, just .2 miles off High St, offering guests a quiet residential retreat within an easy walk of Short North's dining and nightlife. Operated by Rowe House Rentals, this pet-friendly unit is designed for small groups or couples seeking a private, home-like alternative to a standard hotel room. Guests traveling with a larger party can also inquire about the neighboring Big Blue House for additional space.
Unit & Amenities
The carriage house is fully equipped with a kitchen, microwave, and washer, making it well suited for longer or self-catered stays. Comfort features include air conditioning, heating, cable TV, and an ironing board, while a private patio and outdoor grill offer space to relax or cook outside. A crib is available for travelers with infants, and free Wi-Fi keeps guests connected throughout the stay.
Pet Policy & Parking
This is a K9s Welcome property, allowing pets for a $35/day fee capped at $200 per month. On-street parking requires a permit, and one free parking pass is included with the stay, so guests won't need to hunt down paid parking in the neighborhood.
Dining & Location
The carriage house sits within a few hundred meters of an unusually dense cluster of acclaimed restaurants, including TownHall, The Lox Bagel Shop, Short North Pint House, Press Grill, Forno Kitchen + Bar, The Guild House, The Pearl, ROOH Columbus, Northstar Cafe, and Drunch Eatery + Bar. Multiple bus stops, including Summit St & Warren St just 37 meters away, put public transit within easy walking distance, and John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly 9.5 km from the property.
Best for
This property suits couples, small families, or pet owners who want a quiet, self-contained home base within walking distance of Short North and Italian Village's restaurant scene. The full kitchen, washer, and crib make it especially practical for travelers wanting to settle in for a few nights rather than live out of a suitcase, while the pet-friendly policy and outdoor patio/grill appeal to those traveling with dogs.
Travel tips
Since on-street parking requires a permit, take advantage of the one free pass included with your stay and keep it visible in your vehicle. The neighborhood is highly walkable, with several bus stops (the closest just 37 meters away) and over a dozen restaurants within a half-mile, so many trips into Short North won't require a car. Budget about 20-30 minutes for airport transfers given the roughly 9.5 km distance to John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
