We had a great time staying here. We were in town for a wedding and it was excellent having 5 beds that were queen sized or larger. The property is an older home that has been renovated, and is walking distance from the Dayton, KY downtown 6th Avenue area. We walked to breakfast every morning and also were able to walk to the great New Riff Distillery.
Very nice old house with great character. Parking is a little tough with 2 larger vehicles. The house itself is very authentic th the area and as presented on the website

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s character and authentic feel. It was a pleasure hosting you!
The address is Dayton KY, but it’s walking distance to lots of local shops and 5 minute drive to the aquarium. Nice floor plan. Back yard is super kid friendly. Off street parking. It’s an old house with loads of old house charm and up-to-date amenities. The AC works well. Quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds and couch.

My family absolutely loved our stay. The house was as cute as can be and my kids loved the three story layout. There was plenty of room to spread out. We’ll definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

Thanks so much! We’re really happy to hear your family enjoyed the stay and that the space worked well for everyone. It’s always great when there’s room to relax and spread out. We’d love to have you back anytime!
We had a great time. The property was clean and the location was great. A quick drive to the Great American Ballpark, so easy we decided to catch a second game while we were there. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The neighborhood felt very safe. While walking the area there were plenty of friendly people that were happy to point out local places to visit.

Thanks for staying with us! We're so glad the location worked out well for you and that you got to experience the friendly atmosphere of the area. It’s always a win when guests find great local spots within walking distance. We really appreciate the kind words and hope to see you again soon!
A party of three stayed here; all from out of town, and enjoyed our weekend immensely. We actually never even went into Cincinnati; there was enough to see and do in this area. The property is a lovely old home with wonderful architecture and spacious rooms (well, except for the bathrooms, which is to be expected in an older house). We enjoyed relaxing in the living room, making breakfast in the kitchen, and sleeping well in the three bedrooms (plus there was the entire attic that we didn't use). We did opt to park on the street, as the alley parking spot was VERY tight, but the neighborhood was so quiet we had no concerns about doing that. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much! We’re glad that your group enjoyed the house. It’s great to hear you felt right at home relaxing. Thank you for being such fantastic guests, and we would absolutely love to host you all again next time you're in town!
Host was easy to communicate with. House was clean and perfect for our trip. Top floor did get a bit warm but fans were provided from the start and that helped a lot. Driveway situation was a bit confusing due to neighboring residents blocking entrance with a bonfire, but that was no fault of our host. Overall great stay.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad the house worked well for your trip and that the fans helped with the top floor. We appreciate your understanding about the driveway situation, and we’re happy you had an overall great stay.
You’re always welcome back!
I love this town ant the home is classic, charming and very comfortable. They made sure that we were comfortable and checked in on us a couple of time to see if we needed anything. I will definitely be staying here again when I am back in town. Thank You for a great stay. Btw. The coffee was fantastic.
The property was roomy, nicely decorated and pretty clean. There was quite a bit of debris and cigarette butts in the back yard. The beds are very firm, they are not very comfortable. For a short stay it was a great place. The contact I and with the property management was amazing, timely and very accomadating.

Hola Aris, muchas gracias por tu reseña! We're so glad you had a great stay! We hope to welcome you back soon!
We really liked staying here! We had the AC give up on us the first night and it was fixed quickly and we were kept in the loop which was fantastic. The location is awesome, and the home and neighborhood are adorable. Check in and out were great, and my smalls loved the attic room. Thank you!
Very nice home and location was great. Home was also well stocked with all necessities. Great communication from host! Our only complaint and advisement for anyone who is considering staying here during hot weather is that 2 of the beds and one full bathroom is on the 3rd level of the home and it was very difficult to cool off this level. Depending on your ability to sleep in warm temperatures you may not be able to use that level. Please note when we stayed here it was 90 degrees in Dayton.
