About this property

The Carriage House Loft at Marion Hall Mansion

This open floor plan loft is on the first floor of an 1897 Carriage House. 1k sf, 12' ceilings, exposed brick and other beautiful elements. Fully equipped new kitchen with MASSIVE island, new bathroom, beautiful modern furnishings and a dedicated work space. This was once the stables of the carriage house of Frank Enger. Mr. Enger’s family manufactured carriages in the 1800s. When Frank took over, he eventually began putting motors in the carriages and ultimately founded the Enger Motor Company.

You'll find the kitchen is the perfect place to cook, or simply hang out over a glass of wine, and for making everyone coffee in the morning while you relax. You're more than welcome to enjoy the entire grounds, with various sitting areas located throughout the property. This space is the perfect option for travelling professionals, nurses, doctors, or simply couples or small families looking for a getaway.

We tried to strike a perfect balance between the original character of the property and designing in features to make the home really enjoyable day-to-day.

Our guests will enjoy a private loft in the carriage house stables of our historic home. The 1.8 acre, fully gated property boosts lush gardens, secluded landscape, and various sitting areas around the grounds to enjoy.

Our family lives in the main house at Marion Hall Mansion and are available for anything you might need during your stay

North Avondale has been described as a piece of heaven...right in the city. Some of the grandest homes in Cincinnati grace the winding streets of this historic neighborhood. The homes here represent a wide range of architectural styles dating back to the late 1800s.

Spacious, meticulously clean, fresh, and well stocked. Beautifully styled and comfortable too. Matt was incredibly helpful, responsive, and friendly. We were so happy to have found this darling and unique retreat away from campus during a recent college visit. Bonus points for chickens on site and pet friendly vibes!!

Great stay! The Carriage House Loft was perfect for us. Plenty of room, easy in / out and made it convenient to take care of our dog who was along on the trip. The grounds are beautiful and neighborhood very nice. Good for walks.

The apartment is an open floor plan with plenty of space and a fully supplied kitchen. Every area is well lit, including the bathroom. The bed is quite comfortable with additional pillows and blankets in the dresser. The decor is a mix of contemporary, rustic and eclectic. Check in was no problem and there are no check out responsibilities other than returning the key to the box on the outside door! It is very close to Xavier University. The hosts are very communicative. I have no reservations in recommending this VRBO.

Cool Stay in Cincinnati

We loved the carriage house near Xavier University. We had plenty of space plus the bed and bath were both amply stocked. What we loved most was the location as we were headed downtown one night and Riverbend the next. Typical neighborhood near a university. Older homes of all kinds dot the area.
