We had an amazing stay in your home. It was incredibly clean, and had everything we could need. The rooftop deck was absolutely amazing. Sitting on the deck was a highlight of our trip. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of room, and we would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in the Cincinnati area.

We hosted a family Christmas gathering here and it was absolutely wonderful. The home was stocked with so many thoughtful extras—plenty of towels, toilet paper, soaps, paper towels, dishwasher supplies, and a well-equipped kitchen with pans and everything we needed. The rooftop was spectacular with a beautiful view, and we even took our family Christmas photos up there. Truly a special place and a perfect stay.

This is a beautiful, clean, house that is very convenient to Cincinnati. We visited so that we could go to the zoo with family (4 adults, 3 kids, and a doggo). The yard was perfect for walking our dog. The gps directions are accurate and make this house easy to find. Check-in instructions were easy to follow and this property does not require you to clean the whole house on departure like many other properties do. The rooftop deck is perfection! It was a little chilly the weekend we stayed so not much time was spent up there, but we did enjoy it some. I will caution to be aware of the amount of stairs in this house if you are uncomfortable with those. All bedrooms are on the bottom floor and there is no way to avoid stairs whether inside or out. Plenty of linens and extra pillows/blankets are provided. The beds are all firm. We loved our stay!
