Unique and private loft that was once the stables of the carriage house of Frank Enger. Mr. Enger’s family manufactured carriages and shipped them around the country in the 1800s. When Frank took over, he eventually began putting motors in the carriages and ultimately founded the Enger Motor Company. This beautiful space combines old-world character with the modern amenities of today. The fully renovated space highlights exposed brick, a new kitchenette, new bathroom, and beautiful furnishings.
You`ll find the kitchenette is a perfect launching point for your night and for making everyone coffee in the morning while you relax. The private patio is great and beautifully furnished with plants and plenty of seating. It will be great for having a bottle and enjoying the evenings. 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.

The rustic decor and cleanliness was beautiful. Most impressive is the lovely neighborhood that surrounded the house. It was definitely aesthetically pleasing.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This was the perfect stop for us for the holidays while we visited family that lived nearby. Its pet friendly with lots of room for the dog to run around. Space was very roomy, would definitely stay again!
Beautiful property with a unique carriage house apartment, nicely decorated and quite well-equipped. The space was large, comfortable and very accommodating for our dog. Our brief stay here was a real pleasure and offered much-needed relief on our tedious trip across country.
Property was nicely maintained and the studio apartment space was nicely furnished and clean. Communication with the owner was excellent and the check in/out was a breeze!
This is by far the best accommodations that we've had! Love the history of the place. Love the way it's being restored. Love the idea of a gated fenced-in area. Almost a park-like setting. The amenities were great. The only thought that we had is switch to a better bed and maybe a king size bed.
The apartment was lovely. Dogs were super friendly. Hosts were very good at communicating and quick to answer any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
As described, very clean and well maintained on the grounds of an impressive mansion near Xavier University. Easy communication with host and no issues whatsoever throughout the weekend
Very unexpected quiet retreat; just right for our stay and so charming. Only complaint we had was we weren’t there long enough to meet any of the doggy hosts we read about :). We will look for this place next time we travel to the area!
Everything was absolutely wonderful. Extremely cute. Ability to get anywhere very fast. The owners were always on top of everything. Can’t say enough if I’m ever in Cincinnati again I will definitely be looking them up.
The carriage house was so cute and cozy. The perfect amount of rustic charm. Everything was a quick 10-15 minute drive. Great hosts with clear communication. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to stay in the Cincinnati area!
Great property by Xavier University, great communication and the carriage house is very cool. Our doggie enjoyed the property and had some playmates. Thx Heather and Matt
