In a city with so much to offer, sometimes the best vacations are a staycation. Skipping flights makes things more affordable, and staying close to home gives you the chance to view the city from another set of eyes – like a tourist in your own city. Not sure where to stay exactly, but know you’re looking for comfort, character, and a touch of luxury without the high-end price tag? Insert The Timbrook Guesthouse.
Minutes from Downtown, Miles from Reality
Tucked away on a private estate just minutes from downtown, The Timbrook offers the kind of staycation that feels worlds away from home without ever actually leaving Columbus.
Whether you’re planning a solo adventure to try something new, a romantic weekend sans the kids, or just looking for something outside-the-box for a fun girls’ weekend, The Timbrook is designed to make anyone who walks through our front doors feel right at home.
From cozy rooms with private soaking tubs to larger suites with living areas perfect for stretching out, opening up a new book, or catching up with friends, each suite has its own personality. And we promise, no matter which room you choose, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into your own private weekend escape. Seriously, there is no wrong choice.
Treat Yourself to Complimentary Breakfast
Luckily, this is one part of your stay you don’t have to plan or budget for. At The Timbrook, breakfast is included and thoughtfully prepared each morning using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Insider tip: our eggs are from the guesthouse’s own hens, which often star in guest favorites like seasonal frittatas and Jill’s Egg Roulade. The best part? Coffee refills are encouraged.
Little Luxuries With Every Stay
Part of our mission at The Timbrook Guesthouse is to offer amazing amenities as well as unique experiences to make our B&B the perfect place to hang their hat, kick off their shoes, and stay awhile.
Looking to lounge outside with an iced cool mocktail or adult beverage in your hand? Stroll on over to Leilani’s Lagoon, our private, ellipse-shaped pool, is the perfect spot for a few laps or simply catching up with friends or your significant other under the sun.
Feeling like taking things down a notch? Puna Pond, our jetted hot-soaking spa inspired by Hawaii’s Puna Hot Springs, is ideal for easing tension and enjoying the peaceful surroundings you won’t experience in the city.
And while you’re exploring the grounds, don’t miss a pit stop at the Tropical Aviary to visit our parrots, who simply love chatting with new guests during the warmer months. Need a moment alone? The Gazebo nearby offers a quiet space to sneak away and have a few moments to step away and just take a deep breath or twenty.
Explore the Best Your City has to Offer
One of the perks of staying at The Timbrook is that downtown Columbus is just a short drive away. Art lovers should definitely check out the Columbus Museum of Art, where inspiring exhibits and classic collections await. And if you happen to be staying on a Sunday, admission is free. For a sunset cocktail with a view, VASO’s rooftop bar in Dublin is not to be missed.
Back downtown, there’s no shortage of restaurants, cafes, and boutique shops to explore. Whether you’re looking for an intimate dinner, a night out, or a peaceful stroll through one of the local parks, Columbus delivers. From the Short North Arts District to German Village to COSI or a local show at Ginger Rabbit, you’ll find plenty to fill your itinerary, and the best part is returning to the calm of The Timbrook at the end of the night.
Ample Spaces to Connect and Unwind
After a day of exploring, The Timbrook is a place to relax and reconnect. Gather in the Cozy Commons to play games, watch a show, or chat by the fireplace. Need a quiet escape? The reading room offers comfy chairs and panoramic views of the estate — perfect for curling up with a book or just enjoying a few minutes of peace.
Snacks are always available, from fresh fruit to cookies, so you don’t have to worry about DoorDashing something for that late-night craving. Everything about the B&B is designed to help you unwind and feel pampered, whether that means enjoying solo time or laughing late into the evening with friends.
Specialty Packages for a Touch of Luxury
Want to make your stay extra memorable? The Timbrook offers specialty packages designed for any occasion. Flowers, chocolate, cake, or champagne can be added for romantic weekends, girls’ trips, or celebratory solo getaways. It’s those little touches that turn a weekend into a full experience you’ll remember long after you leave.
The Perfect Base for Your Columbus Adventure
No matter your plans, The Timbrook Guesthouse is the perfect base for your weekend getaway. Minutes from downtown but tucked away on a peaceful estate, it’s easy to explore the best the city has to offer and return to a private, serene retreat once the night ends.
