About this property

Trailside 4BR 2BA Cottage • Fenced Yard • Near Hyde Park

Cozy, clean, and perfectly located on the Wasson Way Trail, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath 1930s cottage offers comfort, character, and convenience just minutes from Hyde Park, Oakley, and downtown Cincinnati. Guests love the fenced backyard for pups, the warm décor with authentic touches throughout, and the TVs in every bedroom for relaxing at the end of the day.

Inside, the cottage features a welcoming living room, dedicated dining area, and a fully stocked kitchen designed to make meal prep easy during your stay. The main level includes two bedrooms and a full bath, while two additional bedrooms are located upstairs. A second bathroom and laundry area are located in the basement. With four comfortable queen beds, plenty of linens, and thoughtfully arranged sleeping spaces, the home works beautifully for families, groups, and travelers visiting for graduations, weddings, medical appointments, or weekend getaways.

The cottage sits directly on the Wasson Way Trail, giving guests instant access for walking, running, or biking. Ault Park, Hyde Park Square, and local breweries and restaurants are all just minutes away. Despite being in a peaceful residential pocket, the home is a short drive to major highways, making it easy to reach downtown Cincinnati, the airport, and surrounding attractions.

Please note that the cottage was built in the 1930s and includes multiple sets of stairs, including narrow original staircase access to the upper level. The home sits on a hill, so guests will climb steps from the driveway to the porch, and from the garage to the main level. Guests who prefer step-free access may find the layout challenging.

A train line runs in front of the property and trains do sound their horn when passing. Typical guests take this in stride, and the home is equipped with plaster walls, white noise machines, and box fans in the bedrooms to help soften the sound.

The fenced backyard offers a safe area for dogs to enjoy. Please be aware that there is a neighbor dog next door; if your dog is fence-reactive, please take this into consideration.

With warm hospitality, thoughtful amenities, and a location that balances quiet living with quick access to everything Cincinnati has to offer, Old Red Bank Cottage is a comfortable and reliable home base for your stay.

We loved it! Very clean and comfy! She even had box fans in the rooms which was a plus for me. We always travel with a fan for the noise so we can sleep. We made the trip to visit the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. It felt like we were at home. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely be staying here.

Great place for family with dog

Location was convenient to all the things we wanted to see in Cincinnati, and loved having a fenced in backyard for our dog. Our 7 yr old daughter really enjoyed the upstairs bedroom with the kneewall closet to play in. Neighbor was very nice and the hosts were great to work with.

Wonderful stay!

Perfect house for a family of six. House was clean and stocked with all essentials. There were games for the little ones, board games, video games and a fire pit for the older ones. The backyard was big enough to play games with the kids. Whole family enjoyed the stay. The host, Jesse, was very responsive and helpful. If ever in the area, would love to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Stambaugh

Host profile image
I grew up in a tiny town in rural Illinois and couldn’t wait to see more of the world. After high school I headed to Cincinnati, fell in love with the city, and completed my marketing degree at NKU. I then spent years building a dream career in the wine industry—working in retail, distribution, sales, education, and traveling internationally.

After a decade with the largest distributor in the country, I was ready for a new chapter. I invested everything into creating welcoming, thoughtfully designed short-term rentals, and I’ve fallen in love with the work all over again. Many of the personal touches, artwork from my travels, and meaningful pieces from my wine career are displayed throughout the cottage for guests to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I fell in love with Old Red Bank the moment we discovered it. We purchased the cottage in 2015 as a long-term rental and were lucky to welcome tenants who stayed, saved, and eventually bought their own homes. We’re still friends with many of them today.

In 2017, we renovated a foreclosed home just down the street—an intense DIY project that took nearly a year, but completely worth it. It’s now home to our second set of tenants who are building their lives in Cincinnati.

When our most recent cottage tenants welcomed a new baby and moved into their forever home in 2022, we decided to turn the space into a furnished short-term rental. With growing demand in the area, it felt like the perfect next step.

I’m truly excited to share this neighborhood with you. Old Red Bank is special, and I can’t wait for you to experience it during your stay.

What makes this property unique

Old Red Bank Cottage blends 1930s charm with thoughtful updates, curated décor, and authentic personal touches collected through years of global travel and wine-industry adventures. Its trail-front location, fenced yard, and cozy, stylish spaces make it feel both welcoming and unforgettable.
