My work: Small Business Owner
Lives in Columbus, Ohio
Thanks for considering our home for your travels! A little bit about me... My husband Steve and I were born and raised in Ohio, and have a couple different places in the US, eventually settling back in Columbus. We love doing lots of different things as a family, but traveling, particularly in the outdoors, is what really gets us excited. We design all of our listing with families in mind, drawing on our experiences traveling with our own fam.
