The Marion mansion is exceptional! It is a unique place with a great history. Heather and Matt, and their dogs, are terrific hosts. There was ample room for our group to sit around a table and share stories together. We will gladly come back and send others!

This house is very unique and had a lot for our kids to do in the game room. It would have been nice if one of the beds were a king size, the rooms are massive and certainly could accommodate that. We only stayed one night but it was nice!

Cincinnati spring break adventure

Perfect for spring break adventure with the family - close to zoo, Newport Aquarium, Jungle Jim’s, and more. The property has a lot of character and we loved the huge shower. Check in / check out easy and owner is very friendly. Kids loved the animals on property too!

Beutiful histoic house and amazing property

There were a few issues the trundle beds linen was not up to par, and a few wrappers under it.Overall a beautiful place, the grounds were amazing, it was centrally located, and Matt and his wife were very nice.My my estimate it sleeps 6 adults, one small child and a teenager or smaller adult. And the sectional couch could squeeze a few in. I liked its charm

Great place to stay

If you seek a unique place to stay when you're away, this is for you. The mansion is full of character and old-style charm, a craftsman's dream. It's close to downtown Cincinnati. Our Uber ride was $17 even on a busy night.

Great location and property

Big thanks to Matt and his family for our VRBO experience. We had an amazing trip full of busy days and enjoyed coming back each evening to this fantastic home to gather as a family and rest/relax. Lot's of space in the private 3rd floor retreat. Nice neighborhood and really convenient to all the attractions we visited in and around Cincinnati. Great communication and service. We would stay again when coming back into town.

Spacious getaway in historic mansion

Had a nice stay. My only recommendations are perhaps upgrading the kitchen just a notch and a few little handyman touches. Host was very attentive and welcoming. All in all a very pleasant stay with a beautiful garden and chickens. :)

Couldn't ask for better hosts.

The property is amazing, and in a great location for anything within Cincinnati. The hosts were friendly and made the check in process quite painless. They assisted us with dinner recommendations, directions and even offered candles and hung out with us during a power outage the neighborhood experienced. I can easily recommend this property to anyone starting in the area.

Xavier Family Weekend

This property is perfect for a quick walk to the Xavier campus to hang out with our kids. The neighborhood is just beautiful. The stairs to the third floor are challenging after a long day of walking, but absolutely worth the climb. Wish we had more time to enjoy the gardens around the property.

Fun and Enjoyable Stay!

We only stayed a few nights, but we wished it could have been longer! The hosts were great to work with and very accommodating. The location was perfect, easily within many local attractions. The house was fabulous and so much fun! You have access to the whole 3rd floor, and it's so spacious and inviting. There were plenty of table or lounge spaces, and the bedrooms were all unique and spacious. It's a great place if you have kids, as they provide plenty of options to keep them entertained. We would certainly stay here again.
