About this property

NEW! Covington Cottage – Historic Home w/ Hot Tub, Walk to Bars & Restaurants

About this property:
Step inside this beautifully restored 1860s cottage that combines historic charm with modern comfort. This single-level home offers one bedroom, one bathroom, a full kitchen, and inviting living spaces designed for relaxation and connection. Ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking a peaceful getaway close to downtown Cincinnati.

Relax in the exclusive-use hot tub, tucked behind a privacy screen on the back patio — perfect after a day of exploring the city. Inside, enjoy bold yet cozy décor, vintage furnishings, and soft lighting that create a warm, elegant atmosphere. Guests love the comfortable king bed and the stylish bathroom featuring high-end finishes and thoughtful touches.

The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances, cookware, and coffee essentials, while the living room provides a comfortable space to unwind with streaming TV and Wi-Fi. Step out to the private patio to sip morning coffee or evening cocktails under the string lights.

Located in a quiet, historic Covington neighborhood, the cottage is just a 10-minute walk to MainStrasse Village and Madison Avenue, home to great restaurants, local bars, and boutique shops. Downtown Cincinnati is only a few minutes by car, offering endless dining, sports, and entertainment options.

Gated off-street parking for 2 vehicles is available via the alley, but the current alley approach requires a careful multi-point maneuver to back into the pad. If that sounds stressful, free street parking is typically plentiful and easy to find on the surrounding streets.

The house is beautiful, conveniently located and the host is fantastic. The home has everything I could want, including a tea kettle, microwave, stove, and tools for baking. I made Thanksgiving side dishes and didn’t need to buy anything but food. I stayed here for about a week to visit friends. I messed up and thought I had one extra night and the host worked with me to minimize the uproar. The host was so calm, although I was embarrassed and a bit stressed. I did not use the hot tub, but it looks excellent.I would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Gretchen Kraus

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 location is part of what makes the Covington Cottage so special.
