I have been coming to the Harrison House for about 5 years now. I have never thought about staying anywhere else! Lynn is an amazing hostess. Not only is her food the best breakfast in town, but her restaurant/shopping/general Columbus knowledge is superb! It is a delight to spend a weekend in a true home away from home. I always enjoy meeting the other guests and enjoying all of the culture Columbus has to offer. The only room I have not slept in is room #1. All of the rooms have comfortable beds, luxurious linens, heavenly pillows and squeaky clean bathrooms. I especially love the bathroom in room #6 with all of the windows and the glass blocks! I look forward to returning soon...thanks Lynn!

Harrison West is a community of parks, old Victorian homes and new apartments and condos. Like the Victorian Village, so often I wonder whether the people would randomly open their homes up so I could see what they do with the old Victorian homes on the inside. Harrison House Bed and Breakfast is one of those old Victorian homes in the community and is a member of the Short North Business Association and on the National Register of Historic Places, constructed around 1890. It is a pretty house, outlined in teal and light purple with gingerbread woodwork on the porch, on peaks and arches. Inside, the furniture and décor may not be the original, but appropriate for the era of the house. Most of the furniture is antique. The style is classical Victorian, but still cozy enough to make you feel at home. Lynn Varney, the caretaker, always has complementary goodies for her guests. When I dropped by for a visit and tour, she had some scrumptious looking brownies just waiting for someone to eat them. If the baked goodies weren't enough, there are candy dishes everywhere filled with Hershey kisses and mints. The fridge is always stacked with snacks and beverages, including beer and wine. As the name implies, in the mornings Lynn prepares a full breakfast with fresh fruit, pastries, coffee, tea and a gourmet entrée of eggs and bacon, quiche, French toast or anything else. Other meals the guests are on their own, and the guests come and go as they please. Besides the pretty furniture, warm hospitality and good eats, there are some ghoulish secrets about the place. For those who are into the paranormal, this may be a place of interest for you. Apparently there are resident spirits of people who lived in the Harrison House so long ago. My camera decided it didn't want to work and so I couldn't take pictures of my own of the interior of the house. I thought it was the battery getting low. Or was it? A funny story involves a picture on the wall in the living room. Everyone always thought it was of a woman in the Victorian era. She appeared to be very unhappy, rather scowling. Then one day the picture "spoke" to one of the guests and told them it was actually of a man. Sure enough, they took a closer look at the clothing that they thought was feminine and it actually turned out to be masculine. Now the person in the picture looks much happier. So, come to stay at the Harrison House and enjoy good company and hospitality. Relax in the comfy couches and chairs. Fluff up your pillows and snuggle under the blankets. Oh, and never mind the noises. They won't hurt you. Sweet dreams!

I stayed here last year on while visiting a friend in the area. I was on a busy trip and wanted to stay in a place where I could just relax so I checked into Harrrison House. This is only the 2nd B&B I've stayed at (the other one friends of mine owned in the NC mountains). The neighborhood around it is beautiful and the inn is very eclectic in decoration...some old, some new. It was quite nice. The innkeeper, Lynn, was very nice and accommodating. The bed was so comfortable that I just wanted to lay there for days! If I ever get back to Columbus I will definitely try to stay here again.

Blown away. Let's start with this, we arrived on marriage equality day (26 June 2015) and a rainbow flag was on the door. Not gay, but that's awesome. Lynn is the host you want to run a B&B. The whole place is immaculate. Cleaned perfectly and decorated exactly as you might want a B&B to look. Breakfast was delicious, fresh, and served with coffee, tea, oj and water. The conversation kept us at breakfast longer than planned because Lynn and the guests were just so much fun to chat with. We usually stay with friends when we come to Columbus...not any more. Thanks so much for the lovely time, Lynn and crew.

Wifey got Lindsey Stirling tickets for her birthday (from me of course) so I took to Yelp and found this place to stay. Or it found me. Harrison House is just over a mile from Huntington Park and LC Pavilion. At $129 any bed and breakfast is a bargain. Especially considering the hotel options in this area start at that price. The house is beautiful both inside and out. We stayed in room #1 on the second floor. With the windows facing a fairly busy street, we wondered if street noise would be an issue, and thankfully it was not! There is free wifi, and Lynn (owner, wonderful old soul of a woman) provides a full-size refrigerator and freezer for guests with the top two shelves containing free wine and such that she provides for visitors. There is also a microwave available and lots of assorted teas. Google says this place is haunted, and wifey and I can verify that. I saw a manifestation in our room of a small child and the child knocked on the door when asked if it was really there. Wifey experienced many manifestations. All the ghosts we encountered were happy ones. Smoking is outside only for those that do. We will definitely return here as often as possible, even if nothing else than to see Lynn!

A delightful afternoon tea at this charming victorian tea room as the bridal shower for my daughter. The tea room is very inviting with lovely decor. The table had the feel of a victorian tea with special tea cups and beautiful table settings! Our host was super attentive to our needs and cooked and baked up some amazing treats to go along with a large selection of teas. I highly recommend this place for any ladies' get together. I can't wait to take my granddaughter there sometime! Thank you Noble!

Stayed at Harrison House on a Saturday night in July. We were the only guests. We never saw Lynne until we were checking out Sunday. What we did see was a dining room table still full of dirty dishes, napkins and pitchers of Orange Juice. It was after 3:00 p.m.!!! The OJ had been sitting out all day. Both sides of the sink were full of dirty dishes. The counters were covered. The frying pan used for breakfast was still dirty, sitting on the stove top. The rooms we passed on our way to our room still had not been touched. Based upon reviews we expected special touches and a welcoming host. Epic fail on all fronts. The special cookies waiting for guests in the entryway were blue store bought cookies still in the plastic container. I think they were for guests, but with the clutter that was everywhere, I honestly don't know. Based upon the filth in the kitchen we were afraid to eat breakfast there. I really don't think it would have passed a board of health inspection. I know this review is harsh, but I really am baffled at all of the glowing reviews. We debated leaving several times, but I thought we would still be charged and we couldn't afford to pay for another hotel. I am glad others had better experiences, but I will never be back. My gosh, when we finally met Lynne she never asked us how our stay was or even if we would like a cup of coffee. She just asked for our credit card. It was almost surreal.

A great location, a couple of blocks off to High Street. The owner is very nice, and makes a mean breakfast. The bed was comfortable (wife's a light sleep and she thought so). The entire place looks a little care-worn, as if its best days were 5 years ago. That said, it's very homey. There is free wifi and FREE wine!! It's the $8-$10/ bottle wine from Trader Joes (literally), great stuff!! We paid $129 flat (includes all the taxes) in January '12. I would definitely stay here again.

I wish Columbus had more bed and breakfast inns, especially in German Village, Victorian Village and the Short North. It would make for great strolling and B&B's would only lend to the charm of these gentrified neighborhoods. The Harrison House is one of the few bed and breakfast inns within striking distance of downtown and is situated on the very edge of Ohio State's campus in the neighborhood known as Harrison West (hence the name, Harrison House). The 1890's Victorian home has a great location and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been beautifully renovated to include six rooms that range in price from $129 to $169 dollars. All of the guest rooms have a private bath, queen size bed, cable television and wireless Internet service. Breakfast is included in the price and free parking is available on site- which is a bonus given the street parking in this area is hard to come by at times, especially when Ohio State is in session. I have stayed in loads of insanely beautiful B&B's and have developed super high standards when it comes to these types of accommodations. Aside from the Harrison House being privately owned and located in a nifty part of town, there isn't anything particularly special about the place.

We were going to Columbus to visit with my son's family and get reacquainted with our grandchild but where to stay. We had done the fancy hotel and were torn between renting a furnished condo or staying at a B&B. We opted for the B&B and couldn't be happier about our choice: Harrison House in the Victorian Village section of Columbus. Our room was very comfortable and very neat. But the best was Lynn and the other guests. Lynn is like a relative of whom you are very fond but because of time and distance you never get to see. Her breakfasts always include fresh fruit but then vary from bacon and eggs (to order) or a frittata or coffee cake or yogurt or even cereal for those who thrive on those boxed flakes. And of course there is juice and plenty of coffee for caffeine cravers like myself. But best is lingering after breakfast and just sitting about and talking with Lynn. As it cools for the night you will find her and other guests on the front porch with either a glass of wine or bottle of beer just trading stories of the day's events and places or restaurants discovered. Your needs are anticipated and fresh towels always appear in you room without asking but you always could ask if you really needed to. Basically staying at Harrison House is like staying at your own home if it were run with hospitality and warmth and humor. As we were there for a week we got to meet her dogs, which are the sweetest animals, but you won't know they are there as they stay in Lynn's apartment as she lives on site. Harrison House may be a business but it is home to Lynn and to her guests it is home. And for those who need to know, it is close to everything Columbus.
