Tranquil In-Town Garden Carriage House, No pet fee
Lovely, secluded 700 sq foot carriage house w/private gated entrance in tranquil setting welcomes you— pets (no fee for 2)! Bubbling fountain, vegetable and flower gardens, and a place to cookout in fenced yard. Home-away-from-home has every amenity, including queen-sized bed with a 14" thick mattress, down quilt and pillows, kitchen, washer-dryer and spa shower/bathroom. Spacious. Two car enclosed garage. WIFI and almost every streaming service available.
Note that this carriage house has been extensively reviewed with more than 140 reviews between VRBO and Airbnb, where I am a superhost with a near 5.0 rating—best rating in Cincinnati! Check out the reviews: tinyurl.com/w3cvdbha
The carriage house is fronted by an enclosed garden that springs to life each March. Bubbling fountain and vegetable patch. The carriage house has been entirely renovated with wood-beam 11-foot ceiling, lovely exposed brick walls, spa bathroom and new kitchen. Luxurious bed with down pillows and quilt). Large daily living space.
Like the 1880s classic Cincinnati mansion that it sits behind, the main house and separate carriage house are a preservationist dream. The property is on quiet, shady "Millionaire's Row" in the Dayton St. Historic District. 3 minute drive/15 minute walk from historic Findlay Market with its indoor and outdoor food stands and restaurants. Dozens of restaurants and boutique shopping are within minutes in Over-the-Rhine. 5 minutes to the opera, symphony, Shakespeare Theatre and Washington Park, which has outdoor events almost every day and a great pet park — and has underground parking making it very accessible. Theatre is minutes away. 10 minutes to Kroger grocery store and downtown where the baseball and football stadiums are located. New soccer stadium is 5 minutes away by car, 15 minute walk. University of Cincinnati is a 10 minute drive.
Guest access: You enter the house via a private locked gate to the side of main house front entrance ... path takes you along the house then through the tranquil back yard to the carriage house door. There is also a separate entrance via the 2-car garage in the back—underneath the carriage house (accessible via an alley street behind the main house), up a few stairs into the garden and to your secure, private entrance door.
Animal limit: 2 pets, with no pet fee charge! No pet supplies provided, so bring what you need to attend to them. With more than two pets, we find the hair really piles up and requires extra cleaning and maintenance.. Would consider additional pet/s based on number and size. The pet fee for two pets is $40 for the first two nights and another $35 for longer stays up to one week. For longer stays, the fee is negotiable.
Early arrival or late checkout: If you desire an early check in (as early as noon) or late check out (as late as 5p), just let me know and we will make it happen if there are no conflicts.

Great renovation to a historic home which i love. Very reasonably priced for Cincy which i greatly appreciate. Carriage house truly has everything you need. Also love that it is pet friendly and no additional fees!
This house was amazing and clean We were provided with happys that was a great surprise.kitchen was stocked with cofffee maker and supplies needed for a kitchen .bed was very comfortable Landscaping was wonderful Get seating area outside on patio Private and quite ..we would stay here again
I needed to get away and relax for a few days and this was the perfect place to do that! Absolutely charming, clean and a beautiful garden. I will be back next time the need for a little getaway is necessary.
My now husband and I rented this property for our wedding weekend, as we planned to bring our dog with us to our wedding and needed a dog friendly place to stay. This property couldn't have been more perfect for us. It is absolutely adorable, clean, spacious, comfortable, and has everything you need. The host, John, was incredible!! He was very kind, had great communication, responded promptly to any questions we had, and he was extremely accommodating for whatever we needed. We would absolutely stay here again or recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and welcoming place to stay in the Cincinnati area!!
Great little carriage house! Host was wonderful! Centrally located to multiple areas, Findlay Market, OTR, University of Cincinnati. Literally a 5-10 minute drive to everything!
Cute, unique little house. Jon was there to help us get in. Place was clean, stocked well ans comfortable. While we felt very safe inside the house, we didn't love the location. Love that it was pet friendly. We love being able to take our girl with us.
Stunning garden patio area, lovely carriage house. We stayed for a Bengals game and the commute was easy to navigate. Jon is very accommodating. Highly recommend:)
My husband and I stayed at the carriage house with our 3 cats for 3 nights and had an absolutely wonderful time. The garden was absolutely beautiful and the carriage house was very charming and comfortable. We had the opportunity to meet Jon in the garden, and he was really great! He has two adorable little dogs that are sweet as can be. He is a very kind and accommodating host. I would recommend the carriage house to anyone looking for a nice, comfortable place to stay. We felt very safe and had no issues during our time.
Beautiful garden and excellent location for exploring Cincinnati
The carriage house on Dayton Street is a great place to stay while visiting Cincinnati. Over The Rhine (OTR) with all its sights and shops is a short walk away. There is an excellent coffee shop nearby. The host provisions the apartment with plenty of coffee and tea, towels and other supplies. The garden is a delight with tropical plants that the host grows from seed each year. The entry is well-lit and secure.
The house is great. Very clean and cute. Bed is comfortable and shower is really upscale. Kitchen has everything you need to make breakfast or a simple meal. Plenty of supplies. Owner lives on property and is super friendly and helpful.
Carriage house is listed exactly as stated. It was very clean and private. The bed was good, comfortable and amenities were lovely. Plenty of towels, blankets, bottled water, and a fantastic shower with great water pressure. Lots of natural light. We had everything we needed and was close drive to everything we wanted to go too. Ease of checking in was good. The lighting along the path from the main house to the carriage house was great, made us feel safe. Backyard has lots of beautiful fragrant flowers and plants. There could be a little trimming done of some of the plants to make it an easier walk back to the carriage house. The area of the carriage house is an upcoming neighborhood, mixture of incomes. We felt safe.We would stay here again.
Perfect spot for a weekend getaway but also has everything you would need for a longer visit! At first glance the neighborhood looked less than ideal, however, once we checked in and got a feel for the area, we felt safe and were surprised at how quiet it was. Jon was a great host and answered any questions within minutes. Will definitely be back!
Immaculate large, studio sized room with fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, washer dryer and one of the prettiest gardens I have ever seen.
Jon was very accommodating of our Boston Terrier. The neighborhood is definitely “in transition” so I probably wouldn’t wander around at night but we felt perfectly safe there. All in all a great stay with lots of convenient restaurants, museums and the Reds Great American Ballpark.
The property was perfect. Everything was well-kept and access to the house was easy and secure. The garden area was beautiful.
Jon was very communicative leading into the stay. Luckily, we were able to meet him before leaving.
We didn't mind walking to the connector to get downtown and we easily rented scooters to go further distances.
The stay in Cincinnati went well and a major portion of that was the security and ease of Jon's carriage house.
Highly recommended.
We are blown away by this property! The location is convenient to 75 and Findlay Market, which we loved. So many great dining options, we tried the French place across the street and Condado for unique Door Dash tacos.
Our dog LOVED the garden. We did too. Watching the birds and pollinators fascinated us. This could not be a more lovely space.
The carriage house is a cozy place to stay, and that shower is outsranding! We will be back.
On our Thanksgiving adventure to Cincinnati, we were on the lookout for a dog-friendly spot for our furry companion, Snoop. The reservation process was a breeze, and Jon, the owner, was exceptionally kind and accommodating. He communicated seamlessly, responding quickly to all our questions before we made our reservation. The place was beautifully decorated, spotless, snug, and surprisingly serene! Jon provided thorough and straightforward instructions. He is incredibly welcoming to pets, and his dogs, Gracie and Teddy, are just as friendly and charming. I enthusiastically recommend this property to anyone in search of a tranquil and comfortable getaway in the Cincinnati area.
We were very pleased with the location and carriage home. The bed was comfy and the shower pressure was amazing! We walked to Findlay Market almost daily and walked from the river back home from a Reds game. The full size gas stove was great for preparing breakfast and the fridge was just large enough to stock everything we needed for a week.
The garden was beautiful and we felt like we had plenty of privacy. Jon let us use the garage for our huge lifted Jeep and it fit just fine.
We normally use Uber, but Jon recommended Lift and that was a better choice for Cincy.
Overall, we’d love to stay here again!
Upon arriving to the property we were greeted by a relaxing and tranquil garden that was even more beautiful than the photos in the listing reflect. The on-street parking was easy, safe and well lit.
The carriage house offered comfort, cleanliness and all the amenities of home. Our 2 dogs loved being able to stretch their legs by roaming free within the fenced in garden area.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cincinnati and this property gave us the perfect location to rest and refresh. Its close proximity to downtown allowed for a short drive (or Uber ride) to anywhere we wanted to go. Delicious food options, outdoor parks with walking trails and historical things to see/do are all moments away from this property.
All communications with Jon were seamless and prompt.
We definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to visit the area.
This home is a well done , comfortable carriage house behind the owner's home. It is nicely done for a huge one room area- a nice size kitchen, a wonderful shower, a comfy bed and a comfortable roomy living space. The owner was very responsive to messages and has obviously put a lot of thought and care into his VRBO rental. The street has some very nice homes that have been redone or are being renovated. I attended a conference literally right around the corner and felt safe to walk to and from but not alone as a female. It is not an area I would take a walk in myself so I would caution renters to consider the area. I love to walk and felt a bit stifled in that regard.
