While this home is a secluded vacation rental, it’s also around the bend from parks and museums, close to 15 restaurants under a 2-mile radius, and a vacation rental near Columbus, Ohio, as well. Soak in sunrises and sunsets over the woods, utilize the on-site hiking trail, or take some time to spot deer and blue herons when the warmer seasons arrive. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Pickerington retreat is the perfect way to reconnect with a variety of fun while having everything you need.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The purpose of our rental was to have a place for my parents to stay and for our family to all gather for Christmas, providing us enough space to enjoy our celebration etc. here are the pros: convenient location, close to everything you need- restaurants, grocery, etc. , if visiting in the warmer months- lots if space outdoors to roam and get out, good amount of space for cooking and dining, lounging, etc. clean, plenty of cooking supplies and utensils, etc. everything worked fine, no issues during our stay.
cons: if your a person that prefers staying at locations that have been modernized, home is very dated ( especially kitchen, bathrooms, etc.) with just a few minor updates could have a better feel all around to visitors. If comfortable beds and pillows are crucial for you, you may not be satisfied. I am of opinion that bedding is a very important investment to make in an air bnb!! You cannot go cheap. While beds in general can be unique for each person- i would say , most would agree these were little to be desired and the pillows were so flat and uncomfortable, we had to get our own. There was only one bed that my parents could sleep comfortably in- and unfortunately it was not the large master bedroom that we intended them to stay in- so just keep that in mind if that’s important. All bedrooms are upstairs so if need first floor accommodations- this would not work. It was on a busy road- but far back enough didn’t seem to be an issue.
Again overall we had a great time here- and the location worked fine. However, i would say in order to book again - beds and pillows would need to be upgraded! And kinda be nice if modernized a bit.
The house was large and comfortable for our family’s gathering. The outdoor space was lovely. Kids could play outside. Kitchen was large but a bit understocked for big family dinners, so we were glad we brought some things. The three standard bedrooms were comfortable (and the primary bedroom and bath was huge), but there were fewer functional bedrooms than we expected. The two attic rooms were not insulated (very cold in November and would presumably be very hot in summer). There really wasn’t a good ground-floor room for Grandma (who couldn’t do many stairs). It was a den with a futon couch. We had to take her back to her room at the retirement home every night.

The house was very spacious although quite dated. There was room for the whole family and it was very well stocked.

My husband and I stayed with a brother (his service dog), sister and brother-in-law and our daughter in preparation for our daughter's wedding. It was a perfect place to prepare.
The house is lovely, spacious, well-equipped, clean and comfortable. The we--and the dog loved the big yard. We appreciated the extra touches, including the first aid kit and assorted spices.
We will certainly consider staying there again when we come to visit our now married daughter.
