Cool Stay in Cincinnati

We loved the carriage house near Xavier University. We had plenty of space plus the bed and bath were both amply stocked. What we loved most was the location as we were headed downtown one night and Riverbend the next. Typical neighborhood near a university. Older homes of all kinds dot the area.

Unique Accommodations in a Classic Neighborhood

This is a wonderful place to stay. It is in a classic neighborhood full of late 19th and early 20th Century estates. The rental is quiet and secluded within a large landscaped property behind the main house. The carriage house rental needs a little attention to make it stellar. none-the-less we recommend the Carriage House

A Special Stop!

The carriage house was an interesting and super comfortable place to stay with our two dogs. The bed is especially comfy- we have been in dog-friendly Air B&B’s for the past 6 weeks, so I say this with lots of comparison sleeps! The neighborhood is interesting and the grounds are beautiful- we felt lucky to be guests there!
