Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
This cozy cottage is a self-contained vacation rental in Clintonville, a quirky, walkable Columbus neighborhood just north of the OSU campus. Thoughtfully updated to maximize space, the home is filled with natural light and wood accents, creating a restful retreat that comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests. It's a pet-friendly, smoke-free property suited to weekend getaways or longer family stays.
Rooms & Interior
The cottage features new, comfortable queen beds, including a custom-built headboard with adjustable shelving in the smaller bedroom. A living room full of natural light and plants offers a relaxed spot to read or watch a movie, with a Frame TV that doubles as displayable art when not in use. A crib is available for traveling families with infants.
Kitchen & Practical Amenities
Guests have a full kitchen with an oven, stove, and microwave, making it easy to prepare meals rather than eat out every night. An outdoor grill extends cooking options outside, while a washer, ironing board, air conditioning, and heating round out the home comforts. Free Wi-Fi and cable TV are included, along with free on-site parking.
Location & Surroundings
The cottage sits just half a block from High Street, with a bus stop three minutes away offering rides downtown or to the OSU campus, plus three additional bus stops within about a kilometer. Nearby attractions include Easton Town Center, Polaris Fashion Place, Ohio State Fairgrounds and Ohio Expo Center and State Fair, Schottenstein Center, and Historic Crew Stadium. Clintonville itself offers walkable restaurants, bars, antique malls, the Studio 35 independent theater, and easy access to the Walhalla ravine and Olentangy Trail for walking or cycling.
Neighborhood Character
Clintonville is described as eclectic and quiet enough to feel removed from the city while remaining close to its amenities, with the Clintonville Farmer's Market a summer highlight featuring local produce and live music. Street parking is plentiful in Clintonville, though visitors venturing further into campus or the Short North area may find parking tighter and are encouraged to use the bus.
Best for
This cottage suits groups of friends, families, and pet owners seeking a home-like base near OSU's campus and Columbus's Short North area, thanks to its full kitchen, washer, crib, and pet-friendly policy. It's also a good fit for travelers who want to explore on foot or by transit, given the half-block proximity to High Street bus stops and walkable access to restaurants, theaters, and trails.
Travel tips
Use the High Street bus stop just three minutes from the cottage to reach downtown Columbus or the OSU campus without needing a car. If you plan to drive into campus or the Short North, expect tighter parking than in Clintonville, where street parking is easy to find; the property is centrally located between Highways 315 and 71, keeping most of the city within about a 20-minute drive. Visit during summer to catch the Clintonville Farmer's Market, and check out Studio 35 theater and the nearby antique malls while you're in the neighborhood.
