About this property

Historic Tres House , “Tres” for 3 floors of Charm!

The Tres House is in the center of it all ... just a couple blocks from the German MainStrasse Village and only four blocks from the Ohio River. Hop on over to Over-the-Rhine, Bellevue and Newport too!

This huge1860 modern and charming 3-floor suite is a Smart Home and an urban retreat like no other, providing a relaxing stay for solo travelers, business trips, families with kids, furry friends and even large groups.

The historic Tres House alone is perfect for 1 to 6 guests, and even suitable for up to 12 if you combine our two rentals together. The Tres House is connected to another suite, The House of Liebe, and together this two-family home can accommodate wedding parties, large families, business travelers and more! Need more space than that …. one street over we own “The Slanted House” and “Always Friday” (each sleeps up to 2 more).

You’ll feel like you’re at home at Tres House with a fully-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, Netflix and Apple TV, complimentary drinks, coffee, tea, snacks and more!

You can GEEK OUT in this Smart Home and control the Hue Lighting, limitless music, and house temperature with your personal assistant Alexa. And of course, there is extremely high-speed wireless internet. There is a multi-port USB charging station at the desk on the second floor.

For your ENTERTAINMENT, we offer free Netflix and Apple TV in the Living Room (second floor). There is an antenna to pick up local channels if needed. Note: we don't have regular Network T.V. Feel free to log into your own HULU, Disney, HBO, Sling, etc. accounts.

Snuggle up in either of our two BEDROOMS both with queen-size beds. The purple 80’s bedroom with black and white decor has a spectacular view of the city.

The LIVING ROOM (space on 2nd floor) can be used as a 3rd bedroom if needed as it includes a full-size sleeper sofa and twin-size air bed. All linens, pillows and blankets are stored conveniently under the ottoman. The air mattress & pump with coordinating linens are stored in the Paris Bedroom (3rd floor). Also enjoy this room as an entertainment area for TV, games, and relaxing. We provide the popcorn and snacks! There is a desk in the living room for personal workspace and a fun assortment of toys, books, and games for the kiddos. It also has an incredibly large picture window with a SWEET view of downtown, Cincy.

The BATHROOMS are located on the 2nd floor (half-bath) and 3rd floor (full-bath). There is a vanity across from the 3rd floor bath for extra “getting ready” space. We provide all towels, linens, and toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush and paste, and bath gel so you don’t have to tote them.

The gourmet KITCHEN is decked out with everything you’ll need for preparing meals at home. If it’s not there, we want to know so we can add it! Take a peek through our cabinets and drawers - you’ll find spices and herbs, pots ’n pans, baking dishes, cutting boards, knives, pet bowls and accessories, and many other helpful items. We provide k-cups for The Sboly Coffee maker but feel free to bring your own beans (there is a grinder) or your own pre-ground coffee. It brews both! There is a frother too so bring your favorite milk product to fancy up your coffee.

Connected to the kitchen is our DINING ROOM with a table for six guests.

The LAUNDRY nook is located conveniently off the bedrooms (3rd floor). We provide detergent, fabric sheets and more to help you get the job done easily.

OUTDOORS you can enjoy the city view and sounds from your front porch or the shared side yard. There is a fire pit and wood for cool, relaxing evenings. Note: availability of wood is limited and not guaranteed.

If you do plan to stay with a pet, please mention it so we can discuss specifics. No cats, dogs only. Note the number of pets at the time of your inquiry or reservation (2 dog limit please.) We charge a Pet Resort Fee of $20 per stay.

PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE:
Potential for city noise (next to a gas station & busy street)
Must be able to climb stairs
Side yard is shared with our other Rental guests
Outdoor security cameras/recording devices on property
(viewing exterior of home)
There are only two parking spots - use spaces marked #1 only - during rental window (check-in to check-out).

Summer Nore: If you’re considering renting our place in the heat of summer, please read the following before you book: Tres House (an 1860 historic house) gets a lot of sun in the city and it has a third floor. Third floors can get toasty! We suggest keeping the blinds closed during the day, using the ceiling fans and standing fan, ensuring the vents are open, and take advantage of the supplemental A/C unit on the thirdfloor. If you prefer a house that is super cold like a hotel during the hottest days of July / August …. This house may not be for you. Read all of our reviews over 6 years and you will see that guests find our place extremely comfortable and we will be booked solid during the summer. However, I mentioned this in case guests are very sensitive to summer heat.

Important- No extra guests. Plans change ... so let us know if yours do. Please note our capacity of 6 and make sure your reservation matches the number of guests in our Rental. (This includes visitors even if they don’t spend the night.) If you need to add a guest at the last minute, please reach out to us right away. It is only $10 extra per guest beyond the first two registered. Failure to communicate with hosts about the correct number of guests will result in ALL guests being asked to leave.

Upon booking please tell us …. What brings you to Covington? Why do you wish to rent our place? Who will be joining you? How many guests? Do you have pets and if so, how many/what kind? How many cars do you need to park?

Short Girls trip
We stayed here for a short girls trip and visit to Cincinnati. The house is very well cared for and furnished really well. You can tell they care a lot about the home and want to make peoples stays enjoyable. There are 3 floors, and the stairs are older, so if you have mobility issues its not for you. If you need some extra steps, then its your jam! The beds were very comfortable. The house is right next to a gas station, and it adds a little extra light and noise. They have provided ear plugs. Its a great location, we walked into downtown Covington and its a short drive to Cincinnati. In Covington there is a beautiful old cathedral that we never expected, so that was a fun find.

About the host

Hosted by Vicky or Doug

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 from the Greater Cincinnati Area! Doug is an amazing film-maker, composer and sound guy; Vicky was a top podcaster on iTunes and blogger for 10 yrs focusing on "What Really Matters"; Aidan is our charming, handsome guy - a head pastry chef, supreme foodie, tech-geek, dog whisperer and all-around good human being loved by all; and Ellie is our adorable little princess - nick-named "Friday" for believing every day can be Friday when you're doing what you love. She loves music, her friends, art, pets and school. And then there is Granny (a.k.a. Linda) who is #5 to our Airbnb Venture. Granny is retired and loves to help at the Airbnbs when she can. It's her FREE Thornton gym membership. She loves meeting guests and takes as much pride in hosting our homes as the rest of us.

We all LOVE food, movies, travel, people, and the city we live in! We have been landlords for over 25 years and our first rental (House of Liebe - love in German) was the first home we bought together in Covington. The other half of this historic two-family is our other rental (The Tres House - tres for three floors and our third Airbnb). It has been so much fun and successful we opened up two others, just a street over (The Slanted House and Always Friday - of course named after Ellie). And yes, The Slanted House does lean a little to the west if you are looking at it from across the street. So yes - we love hosting and always beautify-ing (a.k.a. cleaning) our homes to share with others.

Why they chose this property

Mutter Gottes Kirche, or Mother of God Church, was founded by German immigrants to Covington in 1841. The surrounding neighborhoods of treelined streets and brick town homes is named for this beautiful landmark. Mutter Gottes neighborhood was one of the first residential expansions of Covington, and most structures there were built between 1860 and 1890. The area bound by Fourth Street on the north, Pike street on the south, the CSX railway to the west, and Madison Avenue to the east is listed as a National Registered Historic District. Noteworthy historic structures include the fire station on Sixth Street and the Albert B. Koett house on Russell Street. A garden at the intersection of Sixth and Craig contains the Neighborhood Mosaic sign.

What makes this property unique

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Diverse. Historic. Charming. Many of our neighbors have lived on our street for decades. View of beautiful downtown Cincinnati from the bedroom windows and courtyard. Conveniently located next to Dep Liquor Store, Covington Tobacco, Shell Gas Station, and Circle K store for those late night chocolate (or other) cravings!
