Wake to birdsong, five minutes from downtown.
Four Columbus homes, one host: a creek-front guesthouse and a brand-new tiny home on two wooded acres along Alum Creek — plus two apartments in the same classic brick building, one block off High Street in the Short North. Book directly and skip the platform fees.
Better rates, no service fees
Booking direct means you skip the platform's guest service fees — the same stay, for less.
Talk to your host, not a portal
Questions about dates, early check-in, or the goats? You'll hear back from David directly — usually within the hour.
Flexible short & monthly stays
Weekend getaways, work relocations, travel-nurse contracts — stays are tailored to your dates, not a platform's rules.
The Creek Front Retreat
Trade the noise of the city for two wooded acres along Alum Creek.
Wake to birdsong, watch wildlife swim, fly, and wander past your window, and feel your shoulders drop the moment you arrive. Step out onto the stone terrace with your morning coffee and take in the yard and the creek below — it's the kind of view you'll want to sit with.
Inside, soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves give the home a warm, library-quiet feeling — the kind of place where you actually finish the book. Big windows pull the woods and water inside, so you're never far from it. Two bedrooms comfortably sleep four, with a full bath, fast wifi, and a dedicated workspace for anyone who needs to get a little done between walks by the creek.
When you're ready to venture out, you're only minutes from the city — close enough for a night out, far enough to feel like you've truly escaped.
A great fit for
- Couples seeking a quiet, romantic getaway
- Remote workers who want nature outside the window
- Small families and friends wanting space, water, and wildlife at the door
- Traveling professionals on monthly assignments

Big Living in Tiny Home
Some of your best work happens where it's quiet. This is that place.
A calm, light-filled tiny home on the same two wooded acres, where three floor-to-ceiling windows frame Alum Creek and mature trees — set up so you can actually get things done, then properly switch off.
There's a dedicated workspace and fast, reliable wifi, so calls connect and focus holds. When you need to step away, the answer is right outside: take your coffee onto the brick patio, watch the wildlife move along the water, or walk the creek to reset between meetings. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and high ceilings give the whole place a settled, library-quiet feeling that's hard to find in a rental.
A queen bed in the bedroom, a queen mattress in the loft, a full bath, a real kitchen, and dedicated parking beside the short path to your private entry keep the practical stuff effortless. Settle in for a month or more — the view from the desk doesn't get old.
A great fit for
- Remote workers and digital nomads wanting focus and nature
- Couples seeking a quiet, romantic getaway
- Extended stays and "workcations"
- Anyone who needs reliable wifi surrounded by nature
Charm & Character in Italian Village
One block from High Street. One free parking spot. All of the Short North at your door.
A beautiful brick building in famous Italian Village, a single block from the Short North Arts District's restaurants, galleries, shops, and nightlife — quiet where you sleep, lively where you step out. It's an easy 8–10 minute walk to the Columbus Convention Center and North Market, making it one of the closest homes to the Convention Center you'll find.
You'll have the whole apartment to yourselves: two bedrooms, a large outfitted kitchen with everything you need — or skip cooking entirely, since some of the best food in Columbus is minutes away on foot. The shared backyard is yours to enjoy too.
And the detail every Short North regular will appreciate: your own free off-street parking spot, in a neighborhood where parking is always the hard part.
A great fit for
- Convention Center attendees and business travelers
- Weekenders here for the restaurants, galleries, and nightlife
- Friends or small families exploring the city on foot
- Anyone who wants walkability without giving up parking
The Russell Street Duplex
Same historic brick building, same unbeatable block — with a patio and parking for the whole crew.
The second of our two homes on Russell Street, this duplex has its own private entry, a patio, and a semi-private backyard — steps from the Short North Arts District and an easy walk to the Columbus Convention Center and North Market.
Inside you'll find two bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, wifi, a TV with Roku, and a private washer and dryer — a real luxury for longer stays. A double air mattress with linens is available if your group needs the extra spot.
And the Short North rarity, multiplied: parking for up to four cars, accessed from the alley behind the unit. Bring the whole caravan for game day, a convention, or a group weekend — everyone parks free.
A great fit for
- Groups who each drove — up to 4 free parking spots
- Convention Center attendees and business travelers
- Longer stays that need in-unit laundry
- Booking together with the apartment next door for larger gatherings
Settle in for a month — or a season
All four homes work beautifully as furnished mid-term stays. Travel nurses, visiting faculty, relocating families, and remote workers stay with us for 30 days or more — with everything set up from day one.
- Fully furnished with linens, kitchenware, and fast wifi
- Dedicated workspaces for remote work or charting
- Creekside quiet in Eastgate, or walkable Short North living
- Minutes from downtown Columbus hospitals
- Discounted monthly rates when you book direct
Creekside calm, or Short North energy
Our two creekside homes sit in Eastgate, the eastern-most neighborhood of the Near East Side at the edge of Bexley — opening directly onto Alum Creek and ringed by parks. The apartment is in Italian Village, the walkable heart of the Short North. Either way, downtown is minutes from your door.
