German Village is a historic neighborhood just south of downtown Columbus, OH. Initially platted in 1814 in Columbus' South End, German Village was generally developed between years 1840 and 1914. It was settled largely by German immigrants in the mid-1800s. German descendants at one time comprised as much as one-third of the population of Columbus. Restoration began in 1959 and the Historic District was established in 1963. German Village was the FIRST historic district in the U.S. and it remains a model for all that came after. In the year 1974, German Village joined the Historic Register. Today, more than 1,600 preservations have been completed.

Purdy Haus dates to at least the year 1910 when it was occupied by a woodworker/barber George C. McMillin. Nearby homes date between years 1884 and 1888, so it may be older.

Walk everywhere - sidewalks are wide - people are warm - parks and restaurants are plentiful! And German Village is central to everything in Columbus.

Our cottage's architecture is known as a "story-and-a-half vernacular". It has two levels with two bedrooms in what was once a single upper open loft/sleeping area. We recently split the sleeping area into 2 private bedrooms with a new wall and door and additional A/C unit. The ceiling on this level follows the slope of the roof, common in German Village cottages. The main living area sofa can be converted into a full size bed too (bedding in inner compartment).

The sleeping arrangements can accommodate 6, plus the bonus of a pack-n-play for a young child/infant.

A full laundry is on the lower level in the historic basement; basic detergent/dryer sheets provided. Watch your head and step down the old cement stairs (used to be on the exterior - the old "storm" cellar)!

If dark, please touch the Schlage logo on the electronic lock to light the keypad!

Great German village weekend
We went for my husbands birthday weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better location, didn’t need to drive all weekend, just walked to all of the best coffee shops and restaurants German village has. We were able to bring our dog which was the cherry on top, as he loved playing in Schiller park. The house was perfect for our little family!

Responsive Property Managers
Located in German Village, this eclectic property is just around the corner from the famous Schmidt's Sausage Haus and very convenient to downtown. However, there were a few bumps with this booking. Wi-Fi login information was not provided with the door security code or with the arrival instructions and I had to ask for it to be provided by the next day. It also wasn't in the welcome book when I arrived. I booked based on the ad, which said there was parking on the property. Please note when booking, the parking is on the street, away from the cottage on the other streets and you will need to "fight" with the locals for parking. Home entrance is down the alley, not on a main street so single female travelers beware. When I reached out to the property manager, they were quick to respond and I commend them for making things right when I had issues with cleanliness. There were issues with sheets being clean when I arrived. Be aware the space is very small including the bedrooms and single bathroom, which are up a very old narrow staircase, and not safe for young children or toddlers. They do provide baby gates. It's quaint and quirky but not somewhere I would stay in the future as a single traveler or someone used to "extras" as part of the welcome packet provided by other 5-star property managers. Definitely good for young couples or friends traveling together or looking for that Boho feel.

The place was cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect. We were able to walk our dogs two blocks to the park each day which was very helpful. The restaurants were within walking distance and space for parking within the neighborhood was always available.

Great Stay
This house worked perfectly for what we needed. We were in town for Thanksgiving and needed a place that was close to family who lived about a mile away. We walked to the Schiller park and our four year old had a blast. Parking on the street was never a problem and quite close to the house. Overall it was exactly what we needed and it worked great for our stay.

Great Stay in German Village
We thoroughlyl enjoyed our stay. The home is quaint and nicely restored and decorated. The kitchen was nicely furnished and the bedding and towels were very nice. Even with one bathroom for 3 adults and one kid, we did just finne and had room for ourselves or to be together. We had a minor situation wtih a low battery on a smoke detector and the host was very responsive even when I called after 10 pm to ask about it. Overall a great little spot convenient to a lot of neat things and an area that is wonderful for walking. The park that is close by is huge and beautiful!

Long weekend
The house was conveniently located in German village. I had a great time there with my wife and our two small puppies. Everything was great with the exception of the outdoor patio area. The benches were mildewy with moss and the grass area appeared to have had lots of pets, and didn’t feel comfortable sitting in the grass. We would definitely stay there again.
