We enjoyed our recent stay at Harrison House and will return again when next in Columbus. Lynn provides a clean comfortable place to stay with an excellent location and a good breakfast with excellent crisp bacon. We stayed in Unit 6 on the third floor and do not recommend that unit as it is not as nice as others, warmer... More

Lynn has hit a homerun with the Harrison House! The location was convenient, the accomodations extremely comfortable and affordable, and the atmosphere delightful. This place ranks right up there with the Texas White House (Dallas/Ft. Worth), and The Meeting Place (Frankfurt Ky); both registering within my personal elite Top B&Bs in the USA. When staying in the greater Columbus area... More

This b & b is located near Ohio State campus, in the Victorian Village section of Columbus. Our hostess, Lynn, was friendly and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the company of other guests at breakfast. Lynn also gave us directions for a walking tour of the neighborhood that we enjoyed greatly. Our room (#1) was large and well equipped with... More

We recently returned to Harrison House Bed and Breakfast in Columbus Ohio, to the warm welcome of owner Lynn Varney. Not only is the house a gorgeous Victorian (on the national register), but Lynn is exceedingly gracious and helpful. She had great suggestions for things to see and do in the area and I never felt awkward showing up in... More

Lynn is genetically engineered to run a B&B. Warm, welcoming, funny, engaging, but not intrusive. The location is terrfic, the place is very well kept. But the reason I'll go back is the bacon. Wow. great bacon. Waking to coffee and bacon is the ultimate luxury. More

Lynn, the owner, is a wonderful hostess and you can tell she loves her work. She created a breakfast left you completely satisfied, fruit is tasty and fresh cooked eggs and meaty bacon. I recommend this BnB if you are staying in Columbus. It's clean, comfortable and I felt completely at home while there. The house has a great history,... More

Recently stayed at the b&b when visiting Columbus for a conference. Nice location, very close to downtown and all the nice restaurants. The stay was very comfortable and the room was very spacious. The breakfast was great. Lynn made all the breakfast herself and made sure all the dietary requirements were met. She also gave great suggestions for restaurants. Will... More
