The Mayor's Suite-Historic Downtown-Columbus, Indiana

3 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen. You just bring your groceries. Coffee cart with Keurig. Coffee and supplies are provided. Luxury linens. Bath with shower and soaking tub. Balcony for seating two. The entire suite encompasses the second floor. Sorry, not handicapped accessible. No pets. No smoking. Free WiFi. The third bedroom is a trundle bed and sleeps 1 adult or 2 children.

Streaming cable, Prime Video, HBO, big screen TV. Beautiful home in historic area...The first Mayor of Columbus, Smith Jones, built the house in 1860. Then in 1930 another mayor of Columbus, Karl Volland bought the house. He turned it into a two family home, as it is configured today! Walking distance to shops and restaurants downtown. The library and the Visitor Center are just a short block and a half south of the house. Wonderful area.

Owners went above and beyond for us, leaving me a few items I asked for. The place was immaculate and in such a cute neighborhood walking distance to the really neat downtown! We would definitely stay again!

The property worked for our weekend needs, the only bathroom was extremely small and the floors were very noisy/creaky. If you plan on using the trundle bed, don’t…the bottom bed portion only comes out about halfway and the bed is in a portion of the home that is very warm and has stairs to the backyard so would not put children there. Bring fans if you like it cooler when you sleep. If stairs are difficult for you, this is not the place to stay. The house was very quirky though and great location with easy parking.

Our stay was good our only complaint was the creaky flooring/stairs. Couldn’t go to the bathroom after going to bed without waking your partner due to the floors being so noisy.

Great Location!
The house was very cute, plenty of space for our family of four. We were in Columbus for a baseball tournament, and it was nice to have room to relax after a day at the ball field. The location was perfect for dining, shopping the outlets, and we had an easy commute to Ceraland Sports Park.

Cute house in awesome location
Walking distance to downtown. 2nd floor of cute historic home with a lot of character. Wood floors are beautiful but very creaky. Steps to 2nd floor could be considered steep to older generations. Quite neighborhood with parking right out front. Beds were comfortable. It was everything we needed.

Pleasant Surprise
It was a great place. Plenty of room and in a great location just to walk around the town for breakfast, etc. They also had a separate thermostat for upstairs, so we were not at the mercy of someone else's comfort level. That's a luxury in these situations. We were there for a concert at Brown County Music Center and that was an easy 14 mile drive. Thanks Bill

This was three adult family/friends who met for a few days w/o kids. Columbus and Nashville were great. The stay was great, small trundle bed was squeaky but we expected that. Shower was hot, living room was comfy for visiting. A great experience!

Excellent Staycation!
The owner Bill was very friendly and even greeted us after our 1st night. He was informative about the local community and just a nice guy. The property was immaculate and cozy, filled with necessities, would have liked a tv or two in the bedrooms but the family room tv was ok for my son and I I would stay here again and will recommend to any friends planning to stay in Columbus
