Cozy *former* log-cabin, between Cbus & Lancaster

Cozy apartment in the quaint little town of Lithopolis, minutes from Columbus & Lancaster. Choosing not to vaccinate? Please don't book. I'd rather lose money than cost someone their life. Local eateries & shops, plus nearby metro parks, groceries & other shopping make this a perfect place for business or leisure; overnight or long-term. We are LGBTQIA-safe, affirming, and welcoming! If your preferred dates aren't open message us and we'll see what we can do for you. When our children headed off to college this unique apartment served as a temporary "empty nest" for us as we sold our larger home & searched for something smaller. *Temporary* ended up being over 3 years! Though the exterior of this cabin was covered years ago with not-so-attractive siding (and still is) AND it was ijoined with a neighboring building to make a duplex, we felt a pull to purchase it anyway. A quirky, uninspiring exterior is still what you see when arriving, there is even a slight slant that can only come from a more than 100 year old cabin. We have exposed the character & beauty of some of the interior log walls, added live edge walnut shelves in one bedroom, a barn siding light fixture in the kitchen, and vintage roofing metal on the living room shelf to make this a unique & cozy space. The first floor has a spacious living room, a small bedroom, galley-type kitchen, and a full bathroom w/ washer & dryer. The kitchen has basics such as pots, pans, dishes, wine opener, coffee maker, coffee, tea, sugar, and a few small snacks. In addition, there is a filtered water spigot at the kitchen sink. The full bath has plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a first-aid kit. Living room has a 42" wall-mounted television with a Roku set to Guest Mode so you can use your own streaming subscriptions for viewing. There is wi-fi available, but no cable. Upstairs you will find a large loft-style bedroom with queen bed & a futon that converts to a full size bed, a very large closet, ceiling fan, and a 1/2 bath. We've decorated with a mix of antique, vintage, new, and used furniture and art throughout, which makes this space comfortable, warm, and inviting. The large deck on the rear of the home has a gas grill and plenty of seating for dining al fresco or enjoying your morning tea while listening to the birds sing. Because of the way the original structure was built the deck is a full story off the ground & not suitable for small children. There is a dedicated driveway on the right side of the building. Street parking is occasionally available. We offer self check-in with an electronic deadbolt lock. **no smoking inside the unit (we will charge you a fee to remove smoke smell) **no pets allowed (we will charge you a fee to have a company remove pet dander) **no use of the back yard **no parties or events Guests will have access to entire apartment and back deck.

The village of Lithopolis was originally laid out in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) as Centerville. In (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) , it was chartered as Lithopolis. The name Lithopolis is derived from the Greek language and means “Stone City.” The name Lithopolis is a reference to the large deposits of valuable stone that were found in and near the town. The native stone was used in the construction of The Wagnalls Memorial Library. (be sure to check out this beautiful building and treasured landmark.)
