Really enjoyed the property. It was very spacious and was equipped with a large lighted deck with city view and partial river view. Would highly recommend .
Beautiful, clean home- bedrooms were spacious and beds were super comfortable! Kitchen is so nice and overlooks the river/Cincinnati. Super close to grocery store too. Great location! Owners were very kind, helpful w questions. We would definitely head back to this place next time we visit Kentucky!
Great and quiet neighborhood. In proximity of amenities. It's an old house that seems to have been recently remodeled internally with updated appliances and furniture. Will seek to stay there again when the time comes.
We utilized this property as a home away from home while settling into our new place in Kentucky. Check in was seamless, it was incredibly clean, the beds were comfy, there was a cute coffee shop and park within walking distance. The back porch was a favorite spot to take in the city skyline coming alive in the springtime. The neighborhood felt safe, and it had easy access to nearby freeways. The managers were incredibly communicative and helpful when any questions arose, they've even helped to coordinate the return of a valuable accidentally left behind at the property. Nothing short of a wonderful stay!
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and well suited to having small children in the place. There was a highchair and a playpen and a baby gate. The mattresses were all memory foam, which none of us were a fan, but we played musical beds until we each found a mattress of firmness that was tolerable and went with it. The host was communicative and friendly. The kitchen was sparsely equipped for those of us who cook from scratch, but luckily I brought most of my own equipment. I wish I had brought my own knives and skillet though,(The most important part!) the knives were standard dull things and the skillet was small and generic, non stick. No mixing bowls. (Maybe all these things will change, but it also seems common to not provide very nice kitchen equipment that is small enough it might walk out the door with a less honest guest)There was a blender, keurig, microwave and the stove was FANTASTIC. Filtered water from fridge door, though it was a very slow stream. It was cold and rainy so we spent no time on the deck, but of course we all admired it. The dining chairs were covered in fabric, so when we did art with the kids I slipped black trash bags over them to prevent the spread of the "art" The thermostat was available for fine tuning yourself, which of course our small children took advantage of this as well, unfortunately. The location is perfect for quick drives to so many things, which is why we chose it. We would consider returning!

An Okay Stay
The house itself was okay-it was older but a sparkling clean can overcome old with enough effort. This one unfortunately wasn't sparklingly clean. The bedding and towels all seemed clean, bless. The walls had several hand marks & smudges on them & the couch was stained. The floor was not super clean either. There were little things that we found surprising - & while the management team had good text communication we didn't want people in & out while we were staying there so we didn't ask for them to be fixed during our stay. There were no curtains or blinds on the large front door window that looked out to the street. There were no rugs for either shower. There were only 7 small/average towels - just enough for each family member we reserved for & not a single extra. I supposed we could have brought some of these issues up but really they should have been taken care of before we ever arrived. The house itself had plenty of sleeping space for us & that was nice. The neighborhood was run down but we never felt unsafe. There was adequate parking on a sloped drive off the street for one car - though I think the two car parking it advertised would have been tight. The view off the deck was lovely when the city was lit up, as was the view from the upstairs bedrooms.
The bedrooms did not have room darkening shades, nor did one set of windows have shades or curtains at all so no children were sleeping in. The front door only had the keypad lock-no additional deadbolt.
Was a charming and clean place. Very comfortable with a great view of downtown Cincinnati over the Ohio River. Was quiet and peaceful in spite of the proximity of a large city.
Check-in was clear and easy, and when we had an issue, the host was respectful and prompt in their response. All of the rooms were great sizes for our group and it was quite comfortable.
Great property in a quiet neighborhood on the KY side of the river. Great city views from the back deck (even watch the downtown fireworks). Rooms are spacious with updated amenities. Very clean and well maintained.
Terrific view from an amazing deck, classy decor, charming vintage details, comfortable beds, and modern kitchen and bathrooms. A perfect place to call home for two days while we explored Cincinnati and surrounding areas with 3 teenagers.
Matt is a rockstar on communication and making sure we were comfortable and didn't need anything. Highly recommend having him as a host. The property itself met all of our expectations for proximity and ease to get around. Very clean and comfortable Loved it!
An older house but loved it. Very clean house with a nice modern kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. We were 6 adults and we all really enjoyed our stay. The back porch in the evening was a wonderful way to end our days. If we return to Cincinnati, we will definitely try to stay here again.
The location was great, and the house had almost everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen could use a few more essentials, such as a teapot, extra pots, and a colander. The deck was a highlight—spacious with a lovely view of the city.It appeared to be an older house that had been partially renovated. Two original walls—one in the main-level bedroom and one in the kitchen—had been left untouched, which felt out of place and in need of finishing.The two neighboring houses looked abandoned, which made the first impression a bit unsettling. That said, the interior was clean, the price was reasonable, and overall we were satisfied. We were a family of four, but the space could easily accommodate at least two more guests.
