Alexa is ready with sleep sounds or gentle music, perfect for winding down after a busy day in the city.

✵ Our spaces are in two-family homes, so neighbors may be just on the other side of a wall or window. Please respect quiet hours after 11 PM, keep outdoor gatherings low-key, and use shared spaces with courtesy. A little consideration goes a long way to making everyone’s stay enjoyable.

For safety, city licensing, and compliance, everyone must be included in the reservation.

Quirky is the perfect way to describe this property—everywhere you look, there’s something interesting and unique to see. It was clean, comfortable, and inviting.We especially enjoyed the large kitchen area, which became our main gathering space for sitting and chatting. The only slightly awkward aspect was needing to go up the narrow, winding stairs to use the living room—especially when carrying snacks or drinks. It did make us wonder about the layout, as the bedroom is downstairs with the kitchen while the living room is upstairs. I’m sure there’s a reason for it, and honestly, it wasn’t a big issue since the kitchen provided plenty of space for relaxing together. Just a bit unconventional, but completely manageable for an overnight stay.Vickie, the host, was very friendly and responsive. She also offered helpful dining recommendations, and there’s a binder at the property with plenty of additional options.Overall, it was a great place to stay.

Quaint Covington retreat

The property was just as described and was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends to Cincinnati. It located close to the restaurant, bars and other attractions. We loved finishing our day with sitting by the fire ring and relaxing. Host was response to any questions and checked in to make sure everything was going well.
