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.

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.

Great Weekend Getaway
The home was cute, cozy, clean, and perfect for a short girls weekend. It was easy to walk to tons of shops and restaurants and our hosts were so kind and helpful. We had a great weekend at the Mayor's Suite and would definitely stay there again in the future!

Historic Trip
This spot in Columbus, IN was wonderful--a little bit of history, well maintained, beautifully decorated and a perfect location. We were able to walk to the downtown area and it was an easy location to access.

Visit
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.

Well appointed cottage in downtown Columbus.
Was a great two weeks in Terry and Steve's place. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked, and plenty of linens. Newly remodeled and had everything I needed. Very convienient to restaurants, parks, and other attractions downtown. I will definately stay again when I am in the area.

What an amazing and comfortable place to stay.
Terri and Steve are wonderful hosts and everything was thought of for us. They were so wonderful to our kids and had excellent recommendations for things to see and do. When we find ourselves in this area again we will definitely come again. Thank you!

Very clean & roomy
The property was very clean and had nice amenities. One bed was hard but that is going to suit everyone differently. It was in walking distance to downtown which was very nice. We would not hesitate to stay at this location again!

Exactly what we needed
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

Comfortable, Cozy and Character!
My sister in law and I came here for a "Mommy's Getaway." We had everything we needed and more. Quiet and beautiful street, close walk to downtown if the weather is nice enough. We mainly went for rest and relaxation this time, but Columbus seems like it has a lot to offer whether you are there for a romantic, family, or girlfriend getaway. We enjoyed our time and it's definitely a town and home I would visit again!

Fantastic Location and Everything you Need
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The suite is very cute, clean and updated. The spaces are comfortable and cozy. The beds are very comfortable. They provide a Keurig Coffee Maker with k-cup options. The owners are available and eager to please. The location is easy access to downtown and even walking distance if you choose. We will without a doubt stay here during our next visit to Columbus!

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.

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR US
Steve and Terri's was the perfect place for us. The accommodations were super clean, comfortable, nicely decorated with quality furnishings and easy to stay in. Steve and Terri seemed to have thought of every detail to make the stay good. The location was marvelous - don't think we moved the car for days. Walked to restaurants downtown and to the architectural tours, etc. Steve and Terri were great hosts and did everything they could to make our stay great. Don't think you could find a better place to stay in all of Columbus.

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.
