The place itself was very well-kept, clean and in a great location. However, I was less than impressed by the threatening tone of the host to my group before even arriving at this location. Between the host getting our group mixed up with others in the area for noise, accusing our group of having more than allotted guests (which was not true and the host could see if he had looked at his external security footage), then continuing to bash the very event that we were in the area for - I would not stay in this location again. Our group felt very disrespected, judged, and quite frankly harassed, for the type of music event we were attending. After our group, I hope the host can see that not everybody who attends these events are bad people and be a bit kinder when conversing with future guests who don’t fit his “ideal guest profile.”

The best ever!

I've probably rented over 100 houses, condos, apartments, etc over the last 30 years. The Schwartz Castle far outshines any place I have ever been. Rent this place just for the experience and create a memory. my whole family loved it.

There are not proper words to describe just how perfect this property is. I have stayed in many rentals and this is by far the best. Every detail is amazing, every thing thought through, locations unbeatable. I won't cheapen the review with more words other than PERFECT. We will be back and truly hold this place in our hearts, it is special.

Beyond Expectation

Not only is the property spectacular, but it has been incredibly well maintained. The architecture is amazing and the decor is timely and functional. The host went above and beyond to accommodate, was incredibly responsive, and very helpful with his knowledge of the area. Our stay was so lovely we wished we had booked for longer. We will most definitely be returning to this castle!

Bexley Graduation Weekend

The Castle easily housed the 13 of us (7 adults and 6 children 2-10 years old)… with one bedroom not even used. We traveled from Minneapolis to celebrate our oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation from Bexley High. The Castle was a perfect location for access to all the graduation venues and COSI. Enjoyed the comfortable beds and the variety of gathering spaces (lower level pool room, darts and game table; the parlor; the large kitchen center island, the 1st Floor TV area; the dining room). It would have been cool to have seen the 4th Floor and the deck above the tower, but we understand the potential liabilities. The secluded backyard patio with bar-b-que grill is very special in Germantown. Easy walking access to Katzinger’s Deli and the Book Loft were bonuses. Loved the special touches… bowls of chocolates, life savers and Werther’s; the Keurig Coffee machine; plenty of pans and plates… and beautiful weather…. 5 stars! The Frush Family

Perfect in every way!

10 out of 5 stars for this fabulous home away from home in Columbus - do not hesitate to book! The home itself, know as the Schwartz Castle, is a very special property. It is a truly beautiful, historically interesting, and exceedingly comfortable place to stay, even lovelier than the photos suggest. The arrangement of the space ideally lends itself both to privacy and quiet as well as fun and socialization. The amenities are abundant and reflect great thoughtfulness and generosity on the part of the host. The location was perfect for us, situated in Germantown (a remarkably lovely and unique neighborhood with lots of amenities), but also near the highway for ease of getting around the area. We recommend Pastacia Vera (a very fine Parisian Café) and Katzinger's (a great deli) both across the street from the Castle. We also enjoyed a meal at Sycamore and brunch at Fox in the Snow, both within walking distance. Brent responded with clarity and kindness within minutes to any of my questions. We particularly appreciated his flexibility and generosity in allowing for early check-in and late check-out. Thank you Brent for the amazing stay!

Long time friends

gathered for a weekend of fun, reminiscing. There is a bedroom on the listing that shows (and says) 3 twin bunk beds. That is incorrect. It is 1 triple - so 3 beds stacked 1 on top of the others. The bottom bunk does not have enough space for an adult to sit up in the bed.Some written instructions about how to operate the light switches and stove would be helpful (for those of us in the older generations).Overall we were quite happy with our stay/the neighborhood, etc... Brent was a wonderful communicator.

Second time at the Castle

This historical property is amazing! The castle is spacious, clean, and provided amenities not seen in all VRBOs (stocked coffee and tea stations, candies, popcorn seasonings, shower body wash, shampoo). It is designed in mind for large groups to hang out together, but also have privacy. Our large group used the game room, the large dining area, my daughter loved playing the piano, the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes/cookware. There are so many delicious restaurants around and the neatest bookstore is just down the block. The host responds to your messages immediately. We will return!

The Schwartz Castle was amazing!

Brent was the best host ever, very accommodating with everything. We had to escape the hurricane in Florida so he let us check in early. The house itself was beautiful and filled with spooky history. More than enough room for everyone to sleep comfortably and the game room was a huge plus for entertaining. Location was perfect with the deli right across the street and easy parking right in the driveway. It was my first time in Columbus and I will definitely be staying here again when I come back!

This property is amazing. Everyone in our group was blown away by how nice this place is. Tons of room for us to spread out inside the house, it was perfectly clean, and every attention to detail had been thought of. Would 10/10 stay here again, and recommend it to anyone. Communication with the host was also great, I felt like we were very well taken care of.

High School Reunion

A group of high school friends stayed at the Schwartz Castle following our 50th reunion. It is a lovely home. The accommodations are top notch. Fluffy towels, comfortable beds. The location is great allowing easy access to German Village as well as other parts of Central Ohio. I highly recomend the Schwartz Castle! Our group will stay again! The host is amazing too.

German Village Castle

We loved this place! It was SO clean. We enjoyed many walks to the downtown area and a German restaurant for lunch on Saturday. But back to the Castle, what a fun place for family / friends to gather. The downstairs game room was enjoyed by all. It had a pool table, dart board & vintage Pacman, Asteroids game. Also a downstairs outside seating area that was so cozy. As we left, both of our (grown) kids said they want to come back next year!

Weekend at Schwartz Castle

What an amazing property! This house was a perfect place to stay in Columbus while celebrating my brother’s upcoming wedding. It’s close enough to downtown to easily Uber/Lyft. The house also has a game room set up in the lower level that includes darts, pool table, card table and a table top arcade. Plenty to keep us busy while hanging out! The bedrooms were ample. And, quite comfortable. Brent was very responsive with info and answers to questions. Even got us in a bit early! Would definitely recommend!

Amazing - We will be back!!!

This historical property is beautifully maintained, clean, spacious and in a perfect location to enjoy German Town and an easy drive to the Convention Center. The pictures do not do it justice! The kitchen has everything you need, the coffee and popcorn bar were fantastic touches, grateful for bathroom products (soap, body wash, shp/cond, Kleenex), light up magnified make up mirrors, and plenty of towels. VRBOs never have enough pillows - the Castle does! Various chargers were available on both sides of the beds. Brent provided detailed information and immediately responded to my emails. We parked 3 large SUVs and Brent provided a city guest pass to park on the street for the fourth vehicle. My teen loved playing the piano AND having the player piano play! The game room downstairs was perfect for both adults and teens. There are so many spaces for a large party to hang out together OR find privacy. This is a gem of a property and a wonderful host. We have stayed at many places - we will definitely return here!
