Breakfast is served between 7 and 9 A.M.

Our hot homemade breakfasts are different every day as Jill loves to cook and bake and is always trying new recipes for guests to enjoy. Breakfast also includes coffee, tea and juices along with fruits, yogurts, bagels and freshly baked breads and muffins. We are happy to accommodate all special dietary needs, restrictions and allergies. Please contact The Guesthouse directly at (614) 634-2166 so we can make appropriate arrangements for breakfasts if needed.

We allow a maximum of 2 people per guest room. 1 additional person may be permitted in the Blue Bird Suite for an extra $40 charge per night.

We are very sorry but we can not accept children. Guests must be age 18 or older.

The rooms, common areas of The Guesthouse, the pool and the grounds of the property are solely for the use of booked guests who are staying at The Timbrook Guesthouse.

While many guests may be visiting the area to see friends and family, attend a local event, or visit students at local colleges and universities, we require our guests to PLEASE CONFIRM WITH THE GUESTHOUSE BEFORE INVITING ANY OTHER PARTIES WHO ARE NOT GUESTS TO THE TIMBROOK. Additional breakfasts for non-inn guests are $20 per person.

We work very hard to make sure all of our guests have a wonderful and comfortable experience.

That experience includes maintaining high standards when it comes to providing clean facilities, linens, artwork, antiques, and furniture. We ask that all guests please refrain from eating and/or bringing beverages into the guest rooms. Coolers are not permitted inside. We have a refrigerator in the Munching Moku that guests are welcome to utilize. All food consumption, outside of our breakfasts, should be in the dining room, common room and designated outside areas of The Guesthouse.

We take pride in providing high quality linens, furniture and artwork in the Guesthouse.

Please refrain from using any bleaching night creams that may cause damage to our sheets and towels. Any damage caused by guests products or negligence will result in a cleaning or replacement charge.

We take pride in caring for our 150 year old floors and do have a “No Shoe” policy.

Please feel free to B.Y.O.S. “Bring Your Own Slippers!” or take advantage of a complimentary Timbrook pair located just inside the front door.

Laundry and dry cleaning services are provided at The Guesthouse.

No prior arrangements necessary. Full laundry care (washed, dried, folded) is provided same day at $10 per load. Dry cleaning services are provided by a local company for the cost of the dry cleaning bill plus an additional $15.

Antrim Park is literally right across the street with a access to the Olentangy Greenway Bike Trail that runs for miles and miles in either direction.

We are happy to provide complimentary bicycles along with helmets, a map and water bottles to enjoy what the 13.75 mile trail has to offer. Additional bikes are $15 per person. For more information on the trail click here. If you would like something on a quieter note you’re welcome to grab one of our fishing poles and head over to the fishing hole. They stock the lake with trout twice a year. Antrim Lake also has a foot path along it measuring 1.2 miles. It is a great way to get in some fresh air and exercise and see what our area of Columbus has to offer.

The Timbrook Guesthouse has a beautiful heated ellipse-shaped pool and hot tub for the use of our guests.

The depth of the pool varies from 4 feet in the shallow end to 10 feet in the deep end. Swimming and hot tubbing are at the sole risk of The Timbrook guests; there is never a lifeguard on duty at any time. We provide complimentary beach towels and robes for the convenience of our guests. The pool and hot tub hours are from 7 A.M. to 10 P.M.

We are sorry but we cannot accept pets here at The Timbrook Guesthouse.

Our amazing parrots, Opu, Ono, Okole, O’o and Charlie, are always around if you need an animal fix and they would love any attention you’re able to give them. They also love to entertain with their playfulness and talking.
