Our stay at the property was fantastic! The house is stocked with everything you can think of right down to travel size personal items in case you need them. The communication was excellent. We asked for food recommendations and both were top notch! We would definitely stay again!
It was a pleasure staying at this property. The home was very clean and conveniently located. Kris was excellent with communication and made the check-in process smooth and easy. He even provided snacks for us to enjoy during our stay, which was a thoughtful touch. I would definitely recommend this property and would gladly stay again!
This house was a true gem. The house is charmingly decorated, and everything is bright and new. Kris has clearly designed it down to the smallest detail and this is also how she treats her guests. She is very available and responsive and clearly wants her guests to have an enjoyable stress-free stay. We had a wonderful relaxing time here and I would highly recommend this property to others
I can’t say enough good things about Kris & this lovely house. The house was really good for our big family and the front porch was absolutely dreamy. Thank you, Kris, for your attentiveness! What a kind host, what a great spot, it was the perfect place to land for our homecoming! We’ll be back! -Kate
Great house. Very clean, super cozy and well provisioned. Everything I needed for an extended stay of 9 nights. The neighborhood is fine, not far to UC/Short Vine, OTR, etc. It has a large and well stocked kitchen. The bed was very comfortable. I wish the parking situation was a bit better but I parked on the side street without issue. Would stay here again.
Very accommodating for our group with pets. Excellent with quick replying to questions including on Thanksgiving Day! Beds were great. Plenty of blankets for a large group. Heating units in top floor bedrooms definitely helped during the chilly Cincy winter.
We had a wonderful Christmas stay at the house. The house was decorated beautifully and there was every amenity we could ask for. The beds were all super comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. We walked to the zoo for the Festival of Lights and overall had a wonderful stay. Kris could not have been more welcoming or responsive. 12/10 experience.

The house was perfect for us. The parking was a little tricky but we figured it out real quick and the host were very helpful and proactive. Everyone loved their beds which are very comfy.
We enjoyed our stay here immensely. Kris is a fantastic host, super responsive and helpful. The street can be busy, but not a problem for us and our little (leashed) pup. Very short drive to the cute Clifton area. We'd definitely stay again.
Everything was perfect Communication was excellent. Location was amazing. We followed the recommendations for restaurants and had great meals.When we are back in town will not hesitant to return to this beautiful home!
