This open floor plan loft is on the first floor of an 1897 Carriage House. 1k sf, 12` ceilings, exposed brick and other beautiful elements. Fully equipped new kitchen with MASSIVE island, new bathroom, beautiful modern furnishings and a dedicated work space. This was once the stables of the carriage house of Frank Enger. Mr. Enger’s family manufactured carriages in the 1800s. When Frank took over, he eventually began putting motors in the carriages and ultimately founded the Enger Motor Company.
You`ll find the kitchen is the perfect place to cook, or simply hang out over a glass of wine, and for making everyone coffee in the morning while you relax. You`re more than welcome to enjoy the entire grounds, with various sitting areas located throughout the property. 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.

This is our go to VRBO when visiting Cincinnati! Spacious, unique, quiet and everything you could possibly need is included (yes even dog biscuits ). The grounds are beautiful and relaxing. Thank-you Matt and Heather! P.S. just a helpful hit...try to book early - a few times we tried to get a reservation but the property was already booked.
The property is gorgeous and the carriage house we stayed in was a delight! The kitchen was stocked and even offered spices and oils. The bathroom was stocked as well with any necessity that you may have forgotten to pack. The grounds are gorgeous with a beautiful outdoor seating area and a precious chicken house. The shade gardens are lovely and the history of the mansion is worth a read! Look forward to staying there again when I’m in Cincinnati.
Very nice property in a quiet and interesting historic neighborhood. Easy access to the sights of Cincinnati. Very pet friendly and great space for dogs to get out in the yard or go for a walk.Highly recommend.
We enjoyed staying here. Safe, clean, and beautiful. The hosts were very quick to help us when we accidentally tripped a breaker while using a couple radiators. I would absolutely stay here again.

The carriage house was a perfect place for us to stay while visiting our daughter at UC! The location was great, the site was beautiful and communication was excellent. It was also super dog-friendly, which we greatly appreciated.
We so enjoyed our stay at Marion Hall Mansion during our time in Cincinnati. We cuouldnt have found a more comfortable space or perfect location. This space was lovely, hosts were wonderful host, easy to get around the city, friendly pups, and more. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Great stay! The Carriage House Loft was perfect for us. Plenty of room, easy in / out and made it convenient to take care of our dog who was along on the trip. The grounds are beautiful and neighborhood very nice. Good for walks.
Spacious, meticulously clean, fresh, and well stocked. Beautifully styled and comfortable too. Matt was incredibly helpful, responsive, and friendly. We were so happy to have found this darling and unique retreat away from campus during a recent college visit. Bonus points for chickens on site and pet friendly vibes!!
Beautiful room that was clean and safe in a fantastic location. The Manor grounds were lovely and the hosts were great at communicating with us about everything. 10/10, would stay again. -/
My son and I were in town for a concert in Cincinnati and there is so much to love about the carriage house loft! The gardens are beautiful and the beds are super comfortable! It’s such a hidden gem!
The apartment is an open floor plan with plenty of space and a fully supplied kitchen. Every area is well lit, including the bathroom. The bed is quite comfortable with additional pillows and blankets in the dresser. The decor is a mix of contemporary, rustic and eclectic. Check in was no problem and there are no check out responsibilities other than returning the key to the box on the outside door! It is very close to Xavier University. The hosts are very communicative. I have no reservations in recommending this VRBO.
