My wife and I were looking for a nice get away in Columbus close to German Village and the historic…read moredistricts. We wanted to stay in a Bed and Breakfast vs. a hotel outside of town. Well we are glad we found Lynn and her Harrison House B&B. Easy access from the highway as well as convenient parking made locating it and checking in easy. The home is beautiful. We stayed in room 1 which was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was a warm evening in November so we went for a walk after dark in the neighborhood to see the architecture and felt very safe as we walked down the neighboring streets. In the morning we had an amazing breakfast and great coffee served by Lynn, the ultimate hostess. Great conversation around the breakfast table with Lynn and the other guests completed the positive experience. We will tell our friends about our experience and would love to come back for another visit soon, and the next time possibly bringing friends or family with us. Mark & Linda South Amherst, Ohio

I wish Columbus had more bed and breakfast inns, especially in German Village, Victorian Village…read moreand the Short North. It would make for great strolling and B&B's would only lend to the charm of these gentrified neighborhoods. The Harrison House is one of the few bed and breakfast inns within striking distance of downtown and is situated on the very edge of Ohio State's campus in the neighborhood known as Harrison West (hence the name, Harrison House). The 1890's Victorian home has a great location and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been beautifully renovated to include six rooms that range in price from $129 to $169 dollars. All of the guest rooms have a private bath, queen size bed, cable television and wireless Internet service. Breakfast is included in the price and free parking is available on site- which is a bonus given the street parking in this area is hard to come by at times, especially when Ohio State is in session. I have stayed in loads of insanely beautiful B&B's and have developed super high standards when it comes to these types of accommodations. Aside from the Harrison House being privately owned and located in a nifty part of town, there isn't anything particularly special about the place.

We stayed in Room 2 on the second floor, very handsomely appointed in aqua and coffee tones, with silver accents. The room was lovely and very comfortable, both the bedroom and the en suite bathroom. I enjoyed reading a book in the chair by the window. The backyard was another highlight. There is a small deck, a fireplace, an English-style walking garden, and a main seating area with candles and comfortable camp chairs. In warm weather, it's perfect either for unwinding or for extending a gathering at the end of the day. Apparently the proprietor brings food in the morning? I was not awake in time to witness this; perhaps it is the breakfast fairy. In any case, the spread was noteworthy: besides the drinks, snacks, yogurt, fruit, and cereal available around the clock, there were uncooked eggs, miniature bagels, coffee cake or banana bread, and a variety of seasonal fruit. No matter how heterogeneous your group, everyone will find something to satisfy him- or herself. Sometimes it's the little things--such as the rubber duck in the shower stall, the small fish tank on the kitchen counter, and the soft jazz CD playing in the living room on our arrival. There was a basket of highly watchable DVD movies and a shelf of local-interest books. But the important things stand out too: the entire place was immaculate and the proprietors seem to take good care of both the property and the guests. This is a very strong 4.5. Some of our housemates were staying there for the third time, and I would not hesitate to return with them next time.

Strictly aesthetically speaking, German Village Guesthouse is a 5 star B&B. It's lovely. And…read morequaint. And beautifully located in the historic and picturesque German Village. Points for beauty, for sure. The thing with most B&B's that I've been to is the welcoming/homey feeling. GVGH is literally a home but doesn't have any type of check in table or actual person welcoming you into the establishment. This is actually typically fine by me, as a biz traveler I look for convenience and a low key option to rest my head. So, GVGH's stocked kitchen (homemade yogurt FTW) and impressive breakfast buffet spread was a welcome respite for a sometimes weary and non-social traveler. The home is decorated beautifully and the patio is probably just perfect with warmer weather. I can certainly see all the care in appointing the home and the guest rooms! A few items that I wasn't crazy about: 1) The aforementioned lack of human interaction when it came to welcoming me, check-in/out, etc. I didn't see a soul for the 20 hours I was in and out of here. 2) The locking mechanism on the door gave me trouble from the get-go despite reading their shared Google doc of how-tos a few times over. Said doc was the only item I had to connect me to the property. 3) The first floor room has a half wall shower that drives me bananas. I end up sloshing water everywhere despite trying to stay as close as possible to the shower head. Those three fairly minor items aside, if you're looking for a beautifully decorated but hands-off B&B stay with thoughtful accoutrements, give German Village Guest House a try.

This was a last minute decision to plan a week or two in advance. I called for two days, but they…read moreprovided me a deal for 3 days and I accepted the deal. When you drive to the location, it's easy to locate. You drive past the winery, and go to the end of the hill and you will see a sign that says Carriage house 1 & 2. There is two carriage houses that share a pavilion at the bottom of the back yard. The place is beautiful inside. At the top it has a large living room and kitchen area. They have a restroom on the main level, a porch with seats and a grille on the main floor. Upstairs there is a little nook where seating is available, 2 bedrooms and a master bathroom with a jet tub, and shower. The lower level has a bar, yes a bar, and a center section that allows you to huddle, bathroom, and 2 bedrooms. Outside of the area is a lower porch, which has a hot tub. Warning about the hot tub, when you first get in it, it's 120 degrees. Take the top off and let it cool down. It will cool down a lot and feel much better over time. It's nice to relax with the tub. They have a lower section that has a fire pit and seats available. In the back of the house there is trails which has a broken bridge. We went through the stream to get to the other side. I have a bad knee, but made it through fine. :) If you are seeking Internet usage, this is a bad cabin to get access. There is no Internet at the cabin, that's a good or bad thing. In downtime, we are used to having Internet usage. However it's tough when you want it and can't get it. Verizon is the better service, but I had no access. However some mornings I'd wake up with some notifications that went through some how. If you want Internet, go down the drive way and you can obtain a little access, exit the driveway and walk to the top of the hill and I've picked up a great signal there. If you want better access, go out to the Indian Bear Resort over near the lake, but walk towards the winery but stop in the center and the service is perfect there. I've added a image of where that it's good at. My only ask or recommendation to Indian Bear Resort, maybe offer Internet service. It would be nice and helpful, but I understand being off-line can be a request and need as well. Now the lake area is pretty nice as well. Lots to do up there. You can get on kayaks, small boats etc; It allows you to swim and or boat around. This is nice. The only downside is the days that we went had a large group that would "HOG" all of the boats and would leave with a mess. Overall it was a pleasant stay and nice to get away after all of the COVID quarantine. I highly recommend coming here. Here is an aerial view of the winery from my sons drone: https://youtu.be/Fe5Cwc7Ije0

I booked a room for this weekend, which included July 4th. However, something came up that…read moreprevented us from being about to visit. As soon as we found out, my wife called and was told that it was no problem, that there is a waiting list, and once it is cancelled, we would get a refund. We would be charged a $35 fee, though. Having not yet received a confirmation email, my wife called again, asking about the refund. And she talked to a very rude person who said we were not getting a refund because it included a holiday. Also snapped "it is clearly written in the confirmation" several times and completely ignored the question of someone previously giving us false information. The excuse was "I am a small business and need to survive"... but rings very hollow because there is no doubt it was re-rented, in fact, she is double dipping and making twice the money. Nice little racket, if you ask me. While I did miss the holiday clause in the confirmation (which was made 35 days before the arrival date, so not much time to cancel), the fact that we were told we were getting a refund is a huge problem. If we were told the truth, we would have made arrangements to at least partially attend. And if this is the way they treat customers, I am wondering if I didn't dodge a bullet by not going. Needless to say, I will never patronize this business.

Opting for the loft suite next to the main Jailhouse, we got settled in after re-reading the easy-to-follow instructions from our hosts. The loft features high ceilings and my wife compared it to staying in a treehouse. The room was immaculate and had several amenities, like a coffee pot and a microwave, so one could enjoy breakfast in-house if that was in your plans. There's also an adorable breakfast nook under a window looking out over the trees. Yellow Springs, Ohio is certainly my kind of quirky and lived up to expectations. From Jailhouse, it's a short walk, say five minutes, down to the heart of the town, and the famed Little Miami trail. This is a perfect location for those hoping to enjoy what the town has to offer. Affordable, convenient, and excellent service from the proprietors. Highly recommended.

Being local, I've always wanted to check this hotel out the Home2 Suites (Columbus Downtown)…read morebecause I thought the building looked cool, and I've considered it as an option for guests and family since it's close to home. We finally got the chance, due to a power outage. One big plus is that the hotel is very pet friendly, so we were able to bring Ellie along. The location was super convenient for us, and the hotel served its purpose for the night. The room itself was fine, but unfortunately we didn't find the bed very comfortable. Parking is also limited and comes at an additional cost. Our one night costs were: * Room: $168.39 * Occupancy tax: $16.84 * Ohio sales tax: $13.47 * Parking: $18.00 * Misc. sales tax: $5.63 * Pet fee: $75.00 * Total: $297.33 It ended up being a pretty pricey one night stay for this brand even without the pet fee,. The pet friendliness is definitely a plus. Would we stay here again? Probably not, but if we needed something close to home in a pinch, because the convenience and location it is hard to beat. Overall, it was OK for what we needed it for, loved that it was pet friendly, and I'm glad I finally got to check it out.

The amount that I paid for my room a night (approx, $150/night) was a great value because the rooms here are basically mini apartments - the mini kitchen and comfortable space for one person or even 2 people. ENTRANCE -- I had a little difficulty finding the front door entrance but someone at the dog business downstairs helped me. You have to drive your car up a back ramp to get to the entrance (or a taxi or a rental car). Once you are up the ramp, this is where the hotel parking lot is located. You can also walk up the ramp if you don't have a car. ROOM -- The room that I chose had a queen-size (I think) bed, a kitchenette, a desk, a TV, tea/coffee station on the counter in the kitchenette, and free WiFi. The kitchenette had a full size fridge, a big microwave, a dishwasher, and a big sink with a sponge and soap. The room also had a mini living area with a small couch/sofa and a side table with a lamp. The room was clean when I arrived along with the bathroom. The hotel has a gym too plus laundry facilities. BREAKFAST -- They offer a full breakfast that is free (included with your hotel cost) so it is better than a simple continental breakfast. Breakfast consisted of eggs, sausages, toast, muffins, cereal, orange juice, etc. They also had tea and coffee. The lobby is clean, neat, and inviting with colourful tables and decor. It has a complimentary tea and coffee station that I used to get cups of tea. The staff that I encountered was warm and welcoming. I may stay here again if I am looking for a hotel but the location is in a somewhat secluded area which I don't prefer. I prefer to be downtown or in a neighbourhood with a lot of people. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 58/250 total reviews in 2026 - 899 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 April 2026
