I work for Copious Columbus and must say it is some of the best food I have had in the city!!! The…read moreBuffalo Buffalo appetizer with the fresh celery root puree was heavenly!!! The Crab and Watercress Stuffed Trout was the best seafood dish I have tried in a long time. The Lamb Shank with Root Vegetables was incredible, and the Smoked Ohio Brisket with the blue cheese cake was unbelievable. The blue cheese cake is the best thing I have EVER tasted. The locally sourced fresh menu is very diverse and has something for everyone! This new addition to Columbus has a beautiful event space on the third level and probably the hippest music venue on the lower level called Notes!!! Check it out for your next complete night out on the town!!!

This house was great for our family of 24. We are a near even mix of adults and kids and there was…read moreroom and space for all of us. The huge kitchen table was great. I can't remember the last time we all sat down for a meal together. The outdoor space was relaxing. The addition of a new blackstone griddle in the back made cooking up big breakfasts fast and easy. The proximity to the beach made trips back and forth to from the house to take a toddler to the bathroom, fix lunch, or run back to grab something quick made for a stress free week. The hosts were incredibly accommodating even though we hardly ever saw them. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Our family reunion vacation week for our mother's 80th Birthday at Tom and Mary Ann's house was…read morenothing short of fantastic! The weather was great..even with the complimentary downpour day to let the skin come off sizzle mode..just perfect. We were a large family group... family coming in from NY, NM, Ca and Germany. We pushed the limits in space but with the backyard patio area, rooftop hot tub soaking deck (special accolades to that), the ocean so close and so many places you could walk, bike, paddle to we never at all came to in your face situations... which we all know with family is usually inevitable. We wanted to do something special for our Mom (Omi) for her birthday so we took Mary Ann and Tom's referral and hired the caterer that they suggested... we did a luau theme and they came to the house with the pig roast complete with Hawaiian veges and salads. I for one was amazed that we actually surprised her but I do believe we really pulled it off. We were initially hesitant to rent because of landowners sharing the same house..but we started our search late and there weren't many options to accommodate our large group so we took the chance. Couldn't have been any farther from the fears we had to reality. Always friendly and helpful.. never intrusive or controlling. By the time we left it felt like we were leaving old friends.... the hot donuts Mary Ann brought us from an old time LBI donut shop, the morning before we left sealed the deal! Our family grew up summers in LBI..staying with friends that owned and/or our family renting for weeks at a time. I think I can speak for our family in saying we came home that week. A wonderful magical place in our memories. Lucky me got to share it with my granddaughter while my Mom (Omi) is still with us and oh so big a center of our family. 4 generations of LBI addicts.... what better place to enjoy family!

To find this gem in Toms River was truly amazing! I stayed after Christmas and this Victorian…read moreMansion was heavenly! It was fully decorated for Christmas, with Christmas music playing throughout the house and my room even had it's own Christmas tree! I checked-in during tea time and live piano music was being performed in the lobby! My room was clean, warm and cozy. The shared common area had waters, a Keurig machine and delicious home-made treats available. The included breakfast was my favorite part! Everything home-made from the scones, to frittata, fruit salad, lemon cream and clotted cream. It was served in a delightful lavender room with a blazing antique fireplace. If you love antiques and old mansions and fully decorated rooms-this place is for you! Great for a romantic couple getaway, but I just felt like pampering myself for Christmas. Mathis House feels like a warm, cozy hug!

Leaving a review for the Mathis House is past due for me. I found this place doing a Google search…read morefor "hot tea" in Toms River. I called them and expected them to say that they had no vegan or gluten-free options. But the owner, Vicki, answered the phone and told me they had vegan and gluten-free tea service, including scones, sandwiches, desserts, and more. I was shocked! My mom and I went there for lunch about a week later. Our waitress was so knowledgeable about the house and the food options and she answered all of our questions. That was the beginning of a long history of coming to the Mathis House. I have since brought groups of friends ranging from five to twenty. We have attended a few Afternoon Teas, including the holiday sessions; Cinco de Mayo, and a Masquerade Murder Mystery. I recently celebrated my birthday there. My favorite thing about the house is how we can view the lovely decorations. The house is decorated to reflect every season. Plus, I love how vintage and classy the atmosphere feels. A visit to the Mathis House is always an enjoyable time!
