Modern 4BR Retreat on 3 Acres w / Hot Tub Pond
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
Set on 3 sprawling acres just outside Delaware, Ohio, this modern 4-bedroom vacation home is a private countryside retreat designed for large families, groups, or corporate getaways of up to 12 guests. The rural setting offers sweeping views, a scenic pond, and total privacy while remaining only about 10 minutes from downtown Delaware and close to Columbus. It's a smoke-free, pet-friendly property, making it a flexible option for travelers with animals in tow.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The home sleeps guests across four spacious bedrooms plus additional sofa beds: a master suite with a king bed and crib, two queen bedrooms each with a sofa bed, a fourth queen bedroom, and a living area with two more sofa beds. The master suite includes a lavish ensuite with a soaking bath, his-and-hers vanity, and oversize shower, while bedroom four also has its own ensuite; the remaining bedrooms share a full bathroom and a half bath.
Amenities & Recreation
The property is built for both relaxation and entertainment, featuring a hot tub, an outdoor grill, a basement game room with ping pong and a second living area, a 75-inch Smart TV with Netflix, and a dedicated office nook for remote work. Practical comforts include air conditioning, an in-unit kitchen with an ironing board available, and a laundry with washer and dryer. Guests have private access to the full 3-acre grounds, including the pond, for BBQs, walks, or simply enjoying the countryside air.
Dining
The home's gourmet kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a coffee machine, stone countertops, and complete cookware and dinnerware for group meals, plus a dining table set for six. For nights off from cooking, several restaurants sit within minutes, including Luna Pizza Kitchen (about 1.3 km), First Watch for breakfast (about 2.2 km), and Kyushu Ramen and Sushi Bar (about 2.3 km), with additional options like Two Rivers Restaurant and Bar and Ohana Island Grill & Bar a short drive away.
Location & Surroundings
The retreat sits in a rural pocket outside Columbus, close to natural attractions like Alum Creek State Park, Shale Hollow Park, and Char-Mar Ridge Preserve, and just a short drive from the Olentangy Indian Caverns. Families and activity-seekers can reach Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Lazer Kraze, and Cinemark Polaris 18, while shoppers have Tanger Outlets, Polaris Fashion Place, and NorthPointe Plaza nearby. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is roughly 27.7 km away, and a golf club sits right by the estate.
Best for
This home suits large families, multi-generational groups, and corporate retreats seeking space and privacy, thanks to its 4 bedrooms, multiple sofa beds, game room, and 3-acre grounds. It also appeals to remote workers or small teams needing a change of scenery, given the dedicated office nook and free WiFi, and to pet owners thanks to its pet-friendly, smoke-free policy.
Travel tips
Since the property is rural, a car is recommended for reaching Delaware's downtown (about 10-12 minutes away) and Columbus attractions, most of which are a 6-20 minute drive. Guests checking in should note the self check-in process and plan grocery or dining stops early, as restaurants like First Watch and Luna Pizza Kitchen are only a few minutes away but the estate itself is secluded. Travelers flying in should budget extra time from John Glenn Columbus International Airport, roughly 27.7 km from the property.
What guests say

Overall sentiment is positive and consistent across the limited number of reviews, with no complaints about cleanliness, noise, or service.
