Mother's Day weekend getaway

This house was very accommodating for my family and so wonderfully pieced together! The house was absolutely comfortable and we felt right at home. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your house!

Charming old house with train theme

Everything was super smooth and easy from check in to check out. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, coffee, and assorted snacks. We enjoyed our stay very much. It is in a very convenient location to everywhere we wanted to go. One drawback to an old house, though, is that the A/C was super cool downstairs while the upstairs remained a bit too warm on a couple of the warmest days. Most of the time, though, it was my a tolerable temperature. Would definitely stay again!

Train themed house next to the train

The historical house is train themed, has a bedroom full of train pictures and models, and another room with old train magazines. If you have young boys or are a train enthusiast, this is the house for you. It right across the street from active train tracks, and there are multiple trains per night, which can make it hard to sleep. The bathrooms are smaller, as expected for a house of that era. The kitchen was stocked with milk, cereal, and other breakfast foods, which was appreciated. The owner was friendly and available if we needed anything.

Fun and charming

We enjoyed this location. The host was great and the house was so well organized. They even put labels on the cupboards so you didn’t have to randomly open to find items. The trains were a bit loud for some of the family but I didn’t mind. The charm of the place made up for the trains.

About the host

Hosted by Dean and Joyce Carroll

I am Deano Carroll and originally from New Jersey, moving to Cincinnati in 1999 for marriage to Joyce who grew up in Arlington Heights Village. I have been interested in trains and railroads since about age 8 or 9 when my father let me run around the busy Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal next to New York Harbor many years ago! (Imagine a parent allowing that today!)

Why they chose this property

Arlington Station Bnb is the Menuez/Smith House built in by Mr. Menuez, a Singer sewing machine salesman in 1889 in the new "Suburb" of Arlington. His daughter Bessie Menuez Smith and her children lived in the house until the 1970s. Bessie made the little "Oriental lady" engraving found in our display case as a child in 1905 and her daughter, also named Bessie, is remembered in the photo on the living room wall. Bessie and her husband lived in the house until their deaths in the 1970's. The Menuez family is buried in Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery which itself is worth a visit (Bicycling allowed)!

What makes this property unique

My wife and I sold most of our rental properties last year but decided to retain the house on Glen Rose avenue though it has been the most expensive property to restore and maintain. The railroad, though busy and noisy, is a great view from the front porch or from the "20th. Century" room upstairs at the front of the house. Local railfans are often to be found snapping away on the "green" across the street and by the tracks!
