About this property

The Slanted House … retro vibes + cozy comforts!

A cheerful, vintage-inspired retreat filled with colorful décor and nostalgic finds — all just steps from easy parking and a shared patio for coffee or cocktails. Steps from Downtown Cincinnati, OTR, and Newport.

〰️ Bedroom Retreat
Gel-infused memory foam queen bed and a desk for remote work. With Alexa, you can fall asleep to calming sounds or music—your own private retreat in the heart of the city. (Note - 1 bedroom apartment + sofa for a single “flexible sleeper”.)

❋ Need more space?

Rent our upstairs suite Always Friday (sleeps 2), or The Tres House and The House of Liebe nearby for groups up to 6.

❋ Know Before Booking

〰️ Slanted House sits in a true urban setting. The area is diverse and full of life, from neighborhood regulars to visitors passing through. If you enjoy the energy of a real city, you’ll feel right at home.

〰️ All of our homes are part of two-family properties, which means you’ll have neighbors next door or above/below. We ask guests to be considerate by keeping voices and music down after 11 PM, especially when outdoors. Think of it as helping everyone enjoy a comfortable and restful stay.

〰️ No unregistered guests or visitors are allowed on the property at any time, even if they are not staying overnight. For safety, city licensing, and compliance, everyone must be included in the reservation.

〰️ Failure to register the correct number of guests will result in the entire group being asked to leave without refund. Maximum occupancy is 3 guests.

Everything about the place was perfect. From location to cleanliness and comfort we could not have asked for more. The house was decorated really cool as well. When we come back to Cincinnati we will 100% look to book here again first.

My family had a wonderful stay here and we plan to come back for sure. The owners have done an amazing job decorating this house with fun, vintage signs and articles. In fact, we spent our first hour here just checking out all the fun tchotchkes. Super clean and perfect location with plenty of restaurants and boutique shops in walking distance; most important to us, we could walk across the bridge to Great American Ballpark. Highly recommend the Slanted House to anyone wishing to visit the Cincinnati area.
