We bought The Red Stable and adjacent house together at auction in 2013. They both had been vacant many years and were in terrible, run-down condition. We used The Red Stable as our workshop while we restored the house and have been renting it out as a guest house on Airbnb since 2015. We have been SuperHosts since the program started. All of our guests love the house, the location and German Village! Many are repeat visitors. Find it on Instagram @TheRedStableAirbnb
We didn’t have enough money after restoring the properties, so we leased out the shop for a few years 2014-2015. We spent the first half of 2016 setting up the shop and opened the doors June 4, 2016

We have an art gallery on the second floor of the shop with originals and print reproductions. And be sure to visit our outdoor patio with AMAZING patio planters and fun garden art. Stevo makes all of the succulents, terrariums and plants in the shop – His motto is, “A little dirt doesn’t hurt” (an available plaque at the shop!)
I (Jeff) grew up near Cbus. I’ve lived in German Village right out of college and stayed in the area now 30 years. I bought my home in Schumacher Place in 1998, where we both live on Kossuth St, just a few blocks East of the shop. I can see the shop when I look out my door! I went to OSU for Hospitality Management and worked in several hotels (Great Southern Hotel, Hyatt Capital Square) and country clubs (Scioto CC, Wedgewood CC, Medallion Club) until I got burnt out. I changed careers and got into publication graphic design and advertising (The Other Paper, Columbus Monthly) before going to corporate J.P. Morgan for 5 years and finally I went self-employed as DesignSmith, doing marketing, advertising and branding since 2005. I just moved to my 3rd studio from Mohawk St. down to Merion Village. I do all the marketing for the shop including the website. I also design and make a full line of German Village souvenirs available exclusively at The Red Stable.
Stevo was born in Croatia and speaks 5 languages (Croatian, English, Serbian, Italian, German). In Croatia, he went to school for Hospitality as well. However, when I learned to manage business and balance the books, he learned how to filet a fish! and other fine service techniques. He worked seven years in fine dining in Switzerland and Vienna and traveled around the world 3X, via 5-star Cunard cruise lines and Disney Cruise. Stevo came to Columbus in 2000. I remember him telling me about his journey and how big the city looked as he flew in at night. Little did he know how Columbus is made up of surrounding suburbs that were all lit up. And when he asked where the ‘subway’ was, he was directed to the nearest Subway restaurant! Haha. Since coming to Columbus he has earned three degrees (BS in HR, MBA, and Master of Library and Information Science) at Franklin University and Kent State University. He is currently the director of the Mt. Carmel Health System Library Services, serving Mt. Carmel College of Nursing and Mt Carmel Health System since 2015.
Stevo and I met in April of 2006. We’ve taken several trips to his homeland and Europe, including our first trip to Italy that Summer we met! So romantic. Our favorite vacation spot is Provincetown, MA. We’ve been traveling to Ptown every July/August since 2004.
We have two cats, Sasha & Pasha, our fierce fish, The Black Stallion and love of our lives, GiGi! A white shepard-mix, now 7 years.
We have a great group of employees who mostly live in the area and hoping to get them back online soon. They are Christina, Kadi, Sue and Emma. Miss you! Currently the shop is closed. We are working towards a re-opening on June 4, 2020. Four years to the day when we first opened.
What’s in Store NOW at The Red Stable
We are making adjustments to ensure a safe shopping experience for everyone. We’ll have floor markers to assist with social distancing, two-way mirrors on the staircase, sneeze guard at the register, PPE station and we will be expanding the outdoor garden patio to create more shopping area. Occupancy and hours will be limited initially, but we plan to offer appointment-only Private Shopping Experiences for you and your herd.
Also during this down time we have been diligently working to build our online shop. We have so many great products and vendors this takes some time, but we are adding new products daily. We have/will have all of the favorites available online and you can schedule a curbside pickup at checkout. Also look for our upcoming OHIO-made corporate gift baskets! Filled with a variety of local-made goods. Custom-made and personalized from 1-100 or more.
That’s our story and we are sticking to it! Please help support our vendors and shop local. Also for our re-opening month of June, use coupon code: GV-NEIGHBOR at checkout (in store or online) and receive 10% OFF your entire order!
Be well & stay safe,
Jeff & Stevo
