Host profile image
I've lived in the greater Cincinnati area my whole adult life, and love to share all this area has to offer with guests. I get so much joy from chatting with my guests and providing small touches throughout the property to delight & surprise them. My husband and I are passionate about architecture, and especially historic homes. We renovated & designed it ourselves, and have poured our hearts into it. We hope you'll love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Covington won us over with it's charming architecture, friendly community and it's wide variety of bars, restaurants & shops tucked into tree-lined streets. We could easily spend half a day wandering the neighborhood & discovering new places!

What makes this property unique

This isn't just a place to stay — it’s an experience that feels both timeless and intimate. From the minute you step inside, you’ll see that this home has a story to tell. Original charachter blends seamlessly with rich paint colors and vintage décor to create the moody, romantic atmosphere guests love.

The bedroom is a guest favorite, with a plush king bed and soft lighting for a relaxing night's sleep. Throughout the home, you'll find touches like antique accents, comfortable furnishings, and soft textures. The luxurious spa-like bathroom makes even getting ready feel indulgent.

The exclusive-use hot tub, tucked behind a privacy screen on the back patio, offers a place to unwind under the stars. String lights and cozy outdoor seating make it a natural spot for conversation, reflection, or a soak after exploring the city.

The location is part of what makes the Covington Cottage so special. It’s in a quiet, walkable neighborhood filled with historic character, just a few blocks from MainStrasse Village and Madison Avenue.
