Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Welcome to country living! We live on a serene 12 acre lot in the country just minutes from I-70 (Exit 79 E bound/Exit 85 W bound). We offer a clean and cozy lower-level apartment with a private entrance, 2 bedrooms/1 bath, snack/coffee bar with an assortment of snacks, tea, and coffee, a living room, reclining sofa, pool table, electric fireplace, RokuTV, small table/2 chairs and an outdoor patio area. We are located on a 250-acre family farm with a walking path, woods, creek, and cabin.

The space
The private entrance to the walkout basement apartment is accessed by walking down a small grassy hill at the end of the driveway/parking lot. The bottom of the hill can get a bit soggy if we have heavy rains. You may want to pack boots if there is snow or rain in the forecast.

Your hosts, Mark and Shana, live in the main part of the house. Please reach out if you need help with anything.

Neighborhood highlights

We think we have the best of both worlds because we are surrounded by beautiful farm fields, and yet we are only 3 miles from our nearest town. West Jefferson has 3 gas stations, McDonalds, Subway, EatGreek, Ann & Tony's (delicious, family-owned Italian, closed on Monday), Flyers Pizza (very popular), DailyBuzz (coffee/ice cream shop), Sweet Madeline's (bakery/light lunch) in addition to several antique/boutiquish shops. We are 15 minutes from the west side of Columbus where you will find a multitude of stores...from WalMart to Old Navy, Texas Roadhouse to Panera Bread.
