⭐ 5 Star Reviews from our past guests:

"Great place to stay for large groups coming in from out of town. Host was super responsive and proactive with communication, even before we arrived. The house was beautiful and well-updated, and there was tons of room for all ten guests. Great, central location for travelling all across Cincinnati! Would absolutely stay again." - Gina

"Place was great, the entire place was very clean organized and neat. All of the bathrooms were roomy and clean! The 5 beds were comfortable and most bedrooms had a ceiling fan. The rooftop area was also wonderful, with plenty of comfortable seating for everyone. I would recommend staying at this place if you are in the area." - Kevin

"Had a great stay with a group of friends while in town for a baseball game. The house was spotless, spacious, and comfortably fit all five of us. We especially enjoyed the rooftop lounge, amazing views and a great spot to relax. Would definitely recommend!" - Barrett
