Pet Friendly Kelso's Hideout
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Pet Friendly Kelso's Hideout is a whole-home vacation rental tucked into a quiet residential pocket of Columbus, Ohio, likely in or near the Clintonville neighborhood given its proximity to local bus stops and eateries. The house sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it suited to small groups or extended families traveling together with pets. Practical comforts include air conditioning, a washer for laundry, and Wi-Fi (available for a fee), while the property is entirely smoke-free. Guests have noted a well-kept outdoor sitting area that lends itself to relaxed mornings outside. The surrounding streets offer an easy walk to two bus stations, and a short drive brings guests to a cluster of dining options ranging from halal eateries and pizza to barbecue and brewpub fare. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is about 9.4 kilometers away, keeping the property reasonably connected despite its residential, low-key setting.</br>
Best for
This rental is best suited to travelers bringing pets, small groups, or families who want a private house rather than a standard hotel room. Its multiple bedrooms, laundry facilities, and quiet neighborhood setting also make it a good fit for longer work trips or visitors wanting a peaceful home base with easy access to nearby bus stops and a wide range of restaurants.
Travel tips
Two bus stops are within an easy 350–700 meter walk, making car-free local trips feasible, though a car or rideshare is recommended for the roughly 9.4 km trip to John Glenn Columbus International Airport. Check-in is after 4 PM and check-out is by 11 AM, and note the property requires a minimum stay of one to two nights, so plan arrival and departure times accordingly. For dining, several halal, pizza, barbecue, and brewpub options sit within about 1.5 kilometers, making an evening walk to eat a realistic option.
What guests say
Guests consistently praised the cleanliness of the home and described it as cozy and well-suited for short work trips. Several reviewers highlighted the quiet, peaceful neighborhood and enjoyed the outdoor space, particularly for morning coffee, with one mentioning the host thoughtfully provided coffee supplies. Communication with the host was repeatedly described as fast and responsive, both during booking and throughout the stay. The one recurring minor complaint was a non-functioning ceiling fan in an upstairs room, which guests felt was a small, fixable issue rather than a serious detractor.
