The Spacious Rambling Ranch

The spacious Hilliard house, is not in Hilliard. The neighborhood is fine, but definitely out the outskirts of town. The house itself is a pig wearing lipstick. It was DIRTY and the furniture are items you would use for staging vs living. Major cracks in the walls, outlets without covers, doors not closing. They had so many rules, which were fine because it was just my son and I, but over the top compared to any other VRBO I've stayed in. When we arrived the code provided did not work, was able to connect with service and get in. Once in there was a beeping (battery dying in a smoke detector) but that was inside of a wall so I had to live with that till maintenance arrived around noon the next day. As for how dirty, they offered cleaning crews to come out, but as this time the house felt unsafe and we left. The amount of time out of my trip dealing with the basics that should have been done were ridiculous.

The property is listed as Spacious Hilliard Property. We (family of 5) went thru VRBO to stay on the west side of Columbus to attend my moms funeral 40 miles west. This allowed us to be with family from home town and Columbus. This was the worse experience we have had in our many VRBO rentals 1.We did not receive the codes to enter the property untiI I called the owner from the airport in Seattle the day we were to arrive as we in flight the entire day. I had to call 3 times to get entry codes. We paid at least a week before 2. We landed in Columbus at 8:30 pm to find messages telling us we could not have any visitors to the property because the neighbors restricted this - thus we canceled having my immediate family over for a cook out in this - so called spectacular patio and backyard area - note they show two chairs in the pictures and that is all the chairs they have to sit outside. This 3 bedroom house but only 2 chairs to enjoy the patio. They don't mention the proximity I 70 and I 270 - loud in the morning 3. The place was not clean- first spiders and centipedes were crawling up the walls we came in at about 10 Pm. We went to bed so we could get up early to attend my moms funeral. Getting ready the next morning we notice the dust and dirt under the beds in two rooms. A dirty towel was hanging in the shower. 3. After spending entire day at funeral we arrived back at house planning to spend day relaxing and BBQ for family get together at my brothers place. We woke up and the refrigerator was broke. We called to get it fixed but received no response Instead of relaxing I had to take family out for lunch and make arrangements to buy food for family from caterers.. Meanwhile the owners rep stated tried to reach on website but no one called or texted. They blamed me for not responding while I was now spending money to eat out and pay caterers. 4. We were scheduled to spend 1 more day but I refused. we did not have refrigerator so we were forced to eat out all meals. so much for having a nice patio and grill. 5. I demanded a refund for the day we did not stay and filed a complaint to VRBO. To date we have not received response. I have rented many VRBO properties and been quite satisfied and have never written a negative resonse. 6. This place is listed as spacious Hilliard. It is not spacious - less than 1,500 sq ft I believe and not close to Hilliard ( about 5 Miles). Hilliard is nice village atmosphere but not close.

This property is in a quiet residential neighborhood on the east side of Columbus. Safe, clean property. We would stay here again. Close to pretty much everything we wanted to visit. Smooth process from check in to check out. Host was very responsive to messaging which we did primarily through the app. Minimalist as to furnishings, which we prefer. Bed was comfortable. Nice kitchen area with utensils, with ample dishes and glasses. Felt like we were stay at a friend’s open place for a few days.
