Amazing retreat
We stayed in this wonderful home while we were in town for our class reunion. It was perfect for our group of 5. The layout was great, everything was very clean and in working order. The kitchen was well appointed. Check in and check out was easy! We would definitely stay again if anything brings us back to Columbus!

Great Weekend of Baseball
Stayed at the property during State Baseball Tournament. The property has some old accents but is quite modernized and very open floorplan in the living room/kitchen area. Will definitely look for the property to be open when I come to the Columbus area in the future.

Fun For Family Gathering
We stayed at the Neighborhood Sanctuary for three days with extended family for a family reunion and it was great! It was such a convenient location for us, just down the street from my parents, and Columbus definitely needed a space like this for large families to gather. Shalynn did a lovely job with the remodel, there was plenty of space for our whole family, and the outdoor play space was a huge bonus for the kiddos! Shae was super accommodating with our large group, responded in a timely manner any time we contacted her, and was receptive to alleviating the few minor things that came up. The discount coupons that she offered for local businesses were a nice perk! We utilized one to rent a bounce house from Spacewalk, they were super easy to work with, and the kids LOVED having a bounce house there! The only other advice I would give for larger groups or families staying there with small children is to try and put them in the upper room if they're a light sleeper. The lower rooms are right off of the main area, but we just used a white noise machine on high to drown out any noise in the main room for naps and bedtime and it worked out pretty well! Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Neighborhood Sanctuary, it was a great place for a family gathering!
