Extra Special Touches for Your Romantic Getaway
Sometimes it’s the little things that make a romantic weekend together stand out. At The Timbrook Guesthouse, couples can step into a room set up romantically, pour a glass of Veuve Clicquot or Taittinger Brut Champagne, and ease into the weekend—whether that’s unwinding in a cozy robe or just slowing down together for a bit. Want a bit more? We can incorporate additional thoughtful little touches into your room to make it extra special. For instance, we can add decadent chocolates by Pure Imagination Chocolatier or a beautifully arranged vase of seasonal flowers in your room.
Little Surprises That Make a Romantic Weekend
Not every weekend, whether romantic or not, needs a full itinerary. In fact, some of the best moments are the ones you don’t plan—like coming back to your suite to sweet treats, taking your time over coffee in the morning (refills encouraged), or deciding last minute to open a bottle of wine and stay in and cozy up by the fire pit. At The Timbrook Guesthouse, those little surprises just kind of happen, without you having to think about them. It gives you and your significant other the chance to truly slow down, be present, and actually enjoy the time together. Because that’s what a romantic escape should be all about, right?
Romantic Things to Do Without Leaving the Property

Not every romantic getaway needs to involve going anywhere. At The Timbrook Guesthouse, couples can spend an entire romantic weekend without ever leaving the grounds. Start with a slow morning, then take a walk through the gardens, stop by the aviary, take a few laps in Leilani’s Lagoon, our private heated pool, or find a quiet moment together in the gazebo. In the evening, the fire pit and spa are easy ways to unwind together. Our hotel is the kind of place where a romantic break is as simple as spending time together.
Explore Columbus During Your Romantic Getaway
If you’re in the mood to get out and explore, downtown Columbus is just a short drive away. From art at the Columbus Museum of Art to a cocktail with a view at VASO, there’s no shortage of ways to spend part of your romantic weekend. Neighborhoods like the Short North and German Village are perfect for walking, with plenty of spots for dinner, drinks, or a casual afternoon together. And if you’re looking for something a little different, a night at Ginger Rabbit for some live jazz music is always a good call. The best part? You can head back to The Timbrook after and settle right back into your romantic escape.
Slow Mornings and Unwinding Together

When you stay with us, there’s no such thing as setting an alarm. Here at The Timbrook Guesthouse, we encourage our guests to wake up slowly. Whether that means lingering in bed together with a good cup of Joe or enjoying breakfast in bed, it’s one of those mornings where you can do things your way and not have to lift a finger (other than for your fork or coffee mug).
The reading room and Cozy Commons are perfect spots to curl up with a book, play a game together, or simply chat without distraction. Feel like getting some fresh air? Throw on a robe and unwind in the spa, or toss on some casual wear and take a slow walk through the gardens. It’s these simple, unhurried moments that will have you craving a second stay at The Timbrook Guesthouse.
Delicious Food That Sets the Mood
A romantic weekend at The Timbrook Guesthouse is as much about the food as it is about the setting. Start your day together with a homemade breakfast in our cozy breakfast nook, one of the newest additions to the inn, with a gorgeous view of the gardens to ease into your morning. 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.
For a more casual option or grabbing on the go, our main dining area, the Munching Moku, has a fridge, coffee, microwave, and all the essentials you need. And snacks are always available, from fresh fruit to cookies, so you don’t have to worry about DoorDashing something for that late-night craving. Good food, cozy spaces, and quiet moments—this is what makes a romantic getaway feel truly special.
