To ensure personalized service and a peaceful private environment, we take one reservation at a time per floor; rates vary based on the space required. You and your party will enjoy complete private spaces at the Vivas Guest House!!! This inviting and relaxing home is located in Historic German Village, steps away from gorgeous Schiller Park; a quiet, friendly neighborhood that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was recognized as a Preserve America Community. Located just south of downtown, you will enjoy strolling through the brick streets looking at the beautiful homes and gardens throughout the neighborhood. Walk to popular fine dining at Lindy's or Barcelona or stroll down Third Street and visit the original Max and Erma's! Get a taste of Germany at Juergan's Bavarian Bakery or Schmidt's Sausage Haus, and don't forget the cream puff! There are many other great restaurants in the area to sample, too many to mention! Set time aside to wander through the 32 rooms at the BookLoft then head to Schiller Park for Shakespeare Summer Theater. If you leave German Village during your stay you will want to check out the Brewery District, the Arena District and the Short North. We are approximately 1 mile to both Children’s Hospital and Grant Hospital, 1 and 1/2 miles from the Theater District and the State House, 3 miles to Capital University, 5 miles to The Ohio State University, and walking distance to Schiller Park and countless restaurants and attractions! The home sleeps 4 people - the first floor has a living room, dining room, 1/2 bath and a large, fully stocked kitchen with a great island for relaxing with friends. The second floor has 2 bedrooms with 1 queen bed and 1 full bed and a full bath. All linens and towels included.

4.2 out of 5Great place to stay in Columbus and a great host

We spent five nights in Roger's Guest House over Christmas. We rented the entire space which worked well for two couples. Roger was great to work with during the reservation process and after we arrived. I would definitely stay there again. Although we did not do any cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. The house is close to a park, grocery store and restaurants and would be quite walkable during a warmer season. I recommend this rental. I cannot really give a dining score, but I believe Roger is a chef and saw wonderful cookbooks in his house. I am sure if he cooked for you the food would be great.

My friend and I had the most wonderful stay at the Vivas guest house. Like other reviews have mentioned, we too had the whole place to ourselves. The home is beautifully decorated and Roger is so accommodating and welcoming. The description of the location and local restaurants scene is accurate and we so enjoyed ourselves, having arrived on the day of the local neighborhood holiday evening celebration. It is a very walkable and lovely neighborhood and we easily were able to get to downtown in minutes to catch a concert at the Palace theater. Will plan to stay here again!!

5 out of 5A gem in the middle of a wonderful neighborhood
December 15, 2012
We came for a weekend and felt right at home. Roger was extremely attentive and very knowledgable of the city. For breakfast, he made the best coffee I have ever tried from Brioso, a local roaster and made delicious "arepas" (a Venezuelan type of bread....) This will certainly be my destination whenever i town!!!!
3.8 out of 5Great Amenities for Price
November 22, 2012
The amenities at Vivas Guest House delightfully exceeded my expectations! We had use of an entire house - dining room, living room with entertainment system, fully supplied kitchen, and 1.5 bathrooms - for a very affordable rate. (Also free wireless.) It is nestled in a beautiful neighborhood - felt safe the whole time - and downtown Columbus was very accessible - just 1.5 miles away. Roger was a great host - very nice and accommodating! Not a true "bed and breakfast" as there was not a set breakfast component, but still very pleased with the overall experience. I look forward to returning to Columbus and staying here again.

Very quaint neighborhood and very walkable. Roger, the innkeeper was kind and accommodating at best. We arrived at 1:30 am and he still had a smile in his face. Gave us recommendations about where to go and even drove us to a couple of places! The Guest House is very quiet and charming, nicely decorated with a cute backyard. Very clean and neat. Looking forward to staying again!!

We stayed for a weekend in August in the Vivas's guest house in the historic neighborhood, German village. The house is absolutely clean and beautiful; Roger is a fabulous hostes; we spent quite a bit of time chatting with him while he was making a wonderful dinner for my husband and I. We stayed at a beautiful decorated room with a canopy overhead. If you have to be in Columbus and want to feel like you're at home, stay at the Vivas guest house. You won't regret it!
