The space is rich in both history and comfort. Once part of the estate of Frank Enger—founder of the Enger Motor Company—you’ll now enjoy amenities that make this one-of-a-kind loft feel like home.

Highlights of the Loft:
Massive chef’s kitchen island + fully equipped kitchen

Spa-style new bathroom with updated fixtures

Dedicated workspace for remote professionals

On the Grounds:

Lush garden paths and private seating areas

Secluded spots to relax with coffee or cocktails

Free gated parking for 1 vehicle (additional free street parking)

Perfect For:
Traveling professionals, nurses, and doctors

Perfect location

The place was clean, well equipped for cooking, and in a great location! It was easy to get anywhere in the greater Cincinnati area and a safe neighborhood. We had an issue with the smoke alarm while cooking, and Matt came to take care of it quickly. Would definitely stay here again!

Unique Accommodations in a Classic Neighborhood

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is in a classic neighborhood full of late 19th and early 20th Century estates. The rental is quiet and secluded within a large landscaped property behind the main house. The carriage house rental needs a little attention to make it stellar. none-the-less we recommend the Carriage House

A Special Stop!

The carriage house was an interesting and super comfortable place to stay with our two dogs. The bed is especially comfy- we have been in dog-friendly Air B&B’s for the past 6 weeks, so I say this with lots of comparison sleeps! The neighborhood is interesting and the grounds are beautiful- we felt lucky to be guests there!

Cannot say enough good things about our stay. We had both of the rooms in the Carriage House and the 3D floor. We probably won’t need that many rooms in the future, but one never knows!
