Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.
Beautiful historic Covington house built in 1895 with original hardwood floors and tiled fireplaces. Featuring 3 Bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Amenities include cable/internet, washer/dryer, large kitchen, patio/grill, 3 televisions and an office. Conveniently located within 5 minutes of Downtown Cincinnati and within 15 minutes of the CVG international airport. Dogs allowed with approval (up to 2). Large extra lot included on property. Grocery services available on request.

The space
Classically built home which stayed in the same family for over a century before I purchased it. For generations the house remained unchanged allowing it to keep all the original charms that make it unique such as pocket doors, inlaid wooden floors, tile fireplaces, stained glass and wall leathering. When I purchased this home it had been poorly maintained for a number of years but the charm was there, the house was well built and I wanted to restore it to its former glory. I wanted to give the home all the modern comforts of home while still retaining all of the original features and charms that make it uniquely classic.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the whole home which includes both the 1st and 2nd floor, yard and patio. I ask that guests not enter the basement which is locked by a simple slide latch unless there is an emergency such as a tornado. It is just an old unfinished basement I use for storage but the stairs leading down are quite crooked and uneven and there are a few pipes that could cause injury if tripping.

Neighborhood highlights

Covington KY sits just south of downtown Cincinnati Ohio. It features many exciting restaurant and entertainment options including a bar district and a brewery. My house is located on a residential street. It is a very short drive to hotspots around Covington and downtown Cincinnati but is residential for a few blocks in all directions keeping it quiet and parking easy.
