★McGonagall’s Mansion ★ Private Home w/ Arcade★

Fun house to stay at for a weekend away. Our kids loved all the HP decor.

This was a great stay for 2 eleven year old girls and me. Every detail in the home from the ceilings to the wallpaper to the owls that are on shelves. We loved the arcade games and the girls loved the different themed rooms. Besides being aesthetically pleasing, it’s a really comfortable home. The beds are really comfortable and the 2 larger rooms have their own AC. It’s located in a quiet neighbirniid.

Great place to stay for people who have kids! Close to cosi and not too far from the zoo and zumbeezi bay! Really cool experience for my grand babies.

McGonagall’s Mansion is a lovely place. Very well decorated in the Harry Potter world. You can tell the owner is a fan. The host, Sam, is very fast and responsive on issues that arise. Pros-Location, it is in the south-east side of Columbus and near the freeway. But not to close for noise, lots of food options and places to see close by. The kitchen is nice with big refrigerator, lots of counter space. Love the video games, and TV’s with lots of streaming apps. Cons- Listing says sleeps 8 but only has 2 king beds and 1 single, 5 plate/cup/bowls/glass’s so have to wash dish’s constantly. Says Smart beds but the 2 King units don’t currently work and are in need of updating- hard as a rock. Steps in front starting to show age with pieces missing and back railing falling apart. Remotes and light switch’s aren’t labeled so some are hard to figure out. Listing shows washer/dryer which is a combo single unit but no detergent. Kitchen devices need some help- Blender only half, no electric Kettle, and no dishwasher detergent.

Looking for a true crime documentary in real time? Look no further! We booked 5 nights, made it through 1. Our DoorDash driver straight-up stole our food (bonus feature), and the next morning we woke to an FBI standoff across the street—guns, roadblocks, the full show. Not listed in the amenities.The hosts were nice, but apparently unaware they live in a Grand Theft Auto expansion pack. Neighborhood vibes? Think abandoned houses, busted cars, and a grocery store cast straight from The Walking Dead.The house? Musty, tilted like a funhouse, with beds made of sorrow and plywood. Decor covers every inch of wall—probably to distract from the fact the place is falling apart. Definitely a cash grab, not a cozy retreat.Wouldn’t stay again unless I’m filming a survival reality show.

The kids were in complete awe of the house for our whole stay (the adults were as well). Easy location to access all Columbus has to offer. Great communication from the hosts.

Cleanliness of property could have been much better dirty socks laying around. Many broken items/pieces around property that need addressed back gate does not latch front porch has a chair that is completely broken. Side gate takes 2 people to closed and latch with screws hanging out of wall. Decor falling off of walls nails and staples exposed. Remotes missing from a couple TVs had to share one remote. Horrible smell coming from sink/garbage disposal.

We rented this magical location to watch the final HP movies with our kids. We had a fantastic time. The beds were comfortable and the attention to magical detail was amazing. The neighborhood streets are narrow but we navigated them fine and felt safe. The games in the game room were a blast and all worked! AC and heat worked great. TVs easy to use. Comfortable recliners in the living room. Hosts were easy to communicate with. Back gate closure needs updated, but we were able to close it and felt safe. Could use kitchen towels and additional large trash bag for kitchen.

My sister and I stayed here as a half way meeting point for her to move back with her mom in Tennessee. We really enjoyed the atmosphere with the Harry Potter theme. Very comfortable and relaxing. Thank you so much Sam.

Kids loved staying in the house. A lot of games and fun decorations to keep them busy

We had an amazing time at this Harry Potter-themed house in Columbus, Ohio. The decor was incredible, making us feel like we were truly in the wizarding world. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to a fun game room. The backyard was perfect for relaxing, and the hosts were very welcoming. Highly recommend for any Harry Potter fans looking for a unique stay!

The family loved the decorations. This is an old house in an old neighborhood but they did a great job with comfortable furniture and quality fixtures. Great place to spend some down time between doing all the family activities around Columbus. Kitchen had the basics to prep simple meals. The house is small but plenty of space to relax together or separately. It was clean, cute and comfortable.

We mainly needed just a place nearby Lou Berliner Sports Park to relax inbetween softball games. And my family all love Harry Potter, so this was perfect. The owners put a lot of attention to detail into this houses creation. My wife kept finding neat things. Their communication with me was perfect. I had the choice of cell phone or email, at any time. The beds were all very comfortable. They had a nice grill with 3 tanks ready to go. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to use it. There is enough room for a coupole cars comfortably behind the house. We did play some arcade games and shuffleboard. A lot of fun. If you are a serious about shuffleboard, know that it's very used. Thanks again for the communication and making sure everything was ok.
