The Timbrook Guesthouse

Without question a first class and 5 star guesthouse! Jill, the owner, is attentive and warm and has thought of every detail. Her family history of Hawaiian culture shines through in the art and overall ambiance..The grounds are beautifully maintained and a joy to explore. The exotic birds are a huge bonus. Easy walk over to the lake and trail too! Hot tub was a treat after a long day! We can't say enough about the room and how cozy and well appointed it was. The fireplace was the icing on the cake. We will definitely make plans to visit again. Mahalo for sharing your slice of heaven with us

I loved my stay here! The service was great and the scenery was beautiful.Our room was very nice and cozy and I plan to return soon.

We had a sisters' getaway here and everything was perfect! Gorgeous home with unique and wonderful artwork. Our room was lovely and we loved the balcony. Jill and Peter were gracious hosts and amazing cooks. Breakfast was delicious! The grounds are lovely, with beautiful flowers everywhere. The pool area was such a pleasure to spend time in--so clean and peaceful. We will be back!

"Come as guests, leave as family"We booked a little get away for a couple of days and we found a gold mine. We really did come as guests and leave as family. From the time we arrived until the time we left we felt as if we were part of the family.We loved getting to know Jill and Peter and learning about their family and the history of the house. The house was decorated so nicely and no matter where you were on the property it was very relaxing.There are 5 rooms upstairs and each one has a name and a theme. We stayed in room 4, North Nest. There is only 1 room that does not have its own private bathroom (South Siesta) all of the other rooms have private baths.Other than going out for lunch and dinner we maximized our usage of the property and its amenities.There was a nook where we enjoyed tea and fresh Timbrook honey, a common room where we enjoyed talking and watching Netflix. Outside there was a deluxe hot tub, an in ground pool, a patio with a fire pit and bird feeders, a green house, a garden, a chicken coop, a tropical aviary with 7 parrots, and 4 acres to just walk around and enjoy. The gazebo was under construction, but looked like it would be open soon.Breakfast (served between 7-9) -Both mornings we enjoyed a magnificent breakfast that was made with love and as farm fresh as it gets. The first morning we enjoyed for our first course of grilled avocados with fresh salsa. The second course was crepes with fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, maple syrup, sausage patties, coffee and juice. The second morning we enjoyed a first course of fresh fruit, yogurt and nuts. The second course was a delicious caprice omelette, candied bacon, breakfast potatoes, zucchini bread, coffee and juice.WOW! The food was so fresh and so tasty and oh so yummy!Our stay was in the middle of the week and it was nice as there was only one other couple that was staying there. We were told that the rooms are booked on weekends and its really busy. Parking was a little tight as there was some construction on the driveway and a retaining wall during our stay, but other than that there are enough spots for each of the guests to park.This was our first time at a bed and breakfast. We had such a great time that the bar for other B&B's will all be compared to this stay.I definitely recommend staying here and can't wait to come back for a future visit.

I was looking for a local place for a romantic getaway, and came across the Timbrook Guesthouse pretty quickly. Who knew this idyllic property was right outside of Antrim park? If you're not looking for it, you might miss it. Especially coming from the north as the bushes almost obscured the sign! There are trees surrounding the property, so once you enter, you really feel as if you've left the city!There is plenty of parking, and they are working on adding a few more overflow spots. If you really want some privacy, stay during the week like we did. There was only one other room occupied at any point during our stay. We heard they get busy on the weekends. There are five rooms available upstairs. These are designed for two, and no children are allowed. So it's a perfect place to get away. The South Siesta has a private bathroom across the hall, and all the other rooms have one inside. Each room is uniquely decorated around a particular theme. On the property, you'll find a luxurious hot tub, a relaxing pool with flotation devices available, a flower garden, the aviary housing cockatoos and macaws, several bird feeders for wild birds near the large open patio, a fire pit, and tons of green space to enjoy. There is also a gazebo under construction and almost finished!What really makes the stay unique is the hospitality and fine dining. Jill and Peter were both excellent hosts and fun to talk to. Jill whipped up some fabulous breakfasts including meat for us, despite the fact that she's a vegetarian herself. She can accommodate your dietary needs, too. The honey available at the tea station is made on site. Yes, they have bees, too! And chickens. Talk about fresh eggs! I wouldn't be surprised if more of our breakfast was home-grown, as I also recognized mint and basil out in the patio gardens. "Come as guests, leave as family" is not just a nice motto, but it is really how you'll feel if you stay at the Timbrook Guesthouse!

My wife and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary on 8/11/20.We do a trip every year for our anniversary and this year my wife decided she wanted to visit the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. So I planned a 2-day trip and while doing my research for a place to stay on 8/11, I happened upon The Timbrook Guesthouse. I will keep the review as short as possible because I love brevity but I make no promises.Jill, the owner, is super fantastic and a 10-star host. She puts forth a Brobdingnagian effort to make sure her guests are happy. If you stay at Timbrook, you will not be able to understand how she does it. No human could possibly do all of the things Jill does everyday to keep Timbrook running like a well-oiled machine. I think she may be a robot.Timbrook itself is the kind of house we'd live in forever if we didn't have 10 fleabaggy cats who love to ruin everything and drive us crazy. The house and the property are just amazing in every way. There are a lot of fun things to do in and around Columbus but you won't wanna leave the property.The house itself and our room were incredible. Everything was super clean, comfortable and welcoming, and we loved how it was decorated. And it's so quiet. The house is so quiet. I love quiet. Did I mention it was quiet?We got to meet KoKo, an awesome bird who loves to eat large nuts. Jill fed him as we watched and it was really a treat. We also got to meet Charlie, another awesome bird who can really voice his opinion. There are also a whole bunch of chickens and who doesn't love watching chickens scamper about. BREAKFAST was so many positive adjectives, I couldn't possibly list them all. A fruit cup that was akin to Ambrosia (which, if you don't know, is the food of the gods). And a hot meal that I ate slowly and savored every morsel. My wife is a trained chef, so one can imagine the cuisine i'm used to, and this was just crazy-delicious. Our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer. My wife and I met a very nice older couple at breakfast who said they were staying all week. We were so envious. We both agreed that when we come back to Columbus, we will stay at Timbrook. We got to see Puka the cat if only briefly right before we left. Maybe next time we visit, we can get closer to pet him but he was a little spooked and being cat owners ourselves, we totally understood. Our Teddy hides under the bed whenever people he doesn't know come over our house. His sister, Ruby, hides too. But Puka is gorgeous and count yourself lucky if you get to see him. Our experience was 10 stars. So if you plan on being in the Columbus area, make sure you do not miss this treasure. Tell Jill that Kevin and Carrie sent you!

Oh my goodness! The Timbrook Guesthouse is top notch! Immaculately clean. Visually gorgeous with unique collections throughout the property. The outside areas are pristine with landscaping that makes you feel relaxed in this vacation get-away paradise. Add the scrumptious breakfasts to the list of reasons to stay! We will be back!

This place is incredible. The grounds are immaculate. I've traveled the world over and I've never stayed at the place where the grounds were more beautiful. I'm here in early June and I'm just blown away by all the flora and how nicely the grounds are kept. In the guest house itself is gorgeous and they have thought of everything. If you're ever anywhere near Columbus Ohio you owe it to yourself to stay here.

My (now) fiance and I had an incredible stay. Jill and the entire staff did an outstanding job helping organize my engagement proposal with a beautiful picnic-style charcuterie board and photographer. They truly went above and beyond with their hospitality. Aside from the successful proposal, we loved spending time around the pool and exploring their well-manicured grounds. We stayed in the Santa Fe Suite that had very unique decorations and was very comfortable. The breakfast each morning was delicious, and the location was perfect for us to easily explore Columbus for dinner each night.

The house and property are absolutely stunning. I live in Columbus and coming I'm here felt like I was in a completely different state. There is a lot to do on the property and right in the area. They were super friendly and did not feel like they hovered over us. We got here and after the intro it was like it was our own home. I could honestly ditch my phone and be here everyday. The breakfast was amazing. My wife couldn't put the little fruit bowl down and the apple pancakes were mouth watering. This is an experience we will come back to because all the rooms are unique and different and so many things to do based on the season. Absolutely love it
