The Boxwood Bungalow is a historic. Victorian era home built in 1886 and listed on the Texas historical home registry list. Our 1600 square-foot home boasts original restored wood floors, intricate wood details in every room, and also a warmth and welcoming spirit. The home is furnished with a Victorian BoHo style, so that guests feel comfortable, but also get to have a special experience.

Having the opportunity to curate and decorate, this home was truly a privilege. We wanted to honor the era, but also maintain comfort in every amenity that helps guests like they are at home.

Our home sits on a little over half an acre and has a MASSIVE front porch just waiting for a relaxing moment. The backyard is stocked with a play-set, outdoor dining area and sitting area with a pergola. The yard is massive and extends all the way to the back fence and all around the south side.

Perfectly located only two blocks away from the main square we are a perfect location for a quick walk to the local brewery, the ice cream store, burger joint or boutique stores.

Columbus itself is a warm, inviting, historical and cultural town. We wanted our home to reflect that vibe. Whether you are traveling here on a girls trip for antiquing, or perhaps visiting the area for a wedding, and maybe even have brought the kids down to enjoy Splashway; our home is welcoming for all guests, all ages, and we hope that our guest leave feeling the love and time we have invested into this house.

A perfect charmer
It was a lovely experience getting to stay in the heart of Columbus in such a heartwarming home. It was more than we expected and our family would definitely stay there again in the future. The amenities were nice, she house was stalked with everything you would need for a getaway. Thank you for letting us into your home, it truly felt like ours.

Cute house
The house is great. It was everything we needed. Very comfortable. Unfortunately the cleaning fee is higher than I realized when I booked it. Twice as much as similar properties in the area. For that reason we won’t pick this place again unless this changes. Another disappointment was that the host was not able to be flexible with check out time. We asked for a couple more hours but this was not able to be accommodated even though nobody was staying in the house that night.
