The Gray Whale. 6 BR 3 Baths. Three miles to Downtown Cincinnati. Sleeps 18+

Experience the big city thrills of Cincinnati from the Dayton, KY community when you stay at this 120-year-old renovated home! The house is "big as a whale", 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 sunrooms, 2 kitchens, a dining room, and a billiards room! Set 3 miles from downtown attractions and blocks from charming Bellevue, the home boasts a well-appointed interior and a backyard with a patio! The Creation Museum, Arc, Cincy Zoo, Newport Aquarium, Reds and Bengals games so close!

The Gray Whale is an amazing property. We chose this home because of its massive size and great proximity to downtown. The whole extended family or group of friends can fit comfortably and enjoy a great time together. The house has great space for gathering if you would like to all be together, or provides privacy with two living rooms and two kitchens on separate floors. You will be able to enjoy your time in a comfortable and stylish space. There are also ample amounts of fluffy towels, clean linens, and little extras that make this place feel like home. You may never want to leave! The home is 3 floors and has a backyard patio. Below you can see a breakdown of each space.

Location Information:
Close proximity to stadiums and all downtown Cincinnati attractions. (3 miles ) Close to Bellevue, KY with cute local shops and restaurants. Near Newport on the Levee entertainment district. Easy drive to Kings Island, the Cincinnati Zoo, Riverbend, etc. The Arc Encounter is approx 45-50 min drive, the Creation Museum is approx 20-25 min drive. We are near a train track so you will sometimes hear the rumble of a train going by.

We are located in an up and coming neighborhood with a mix of young professionals and working-class people. This is not the suburbs but it is a safe urban residential neighborhood 3 miles from downtown Cincinnati. Our co-hosts Adam and Tara live a block away and love the location and can give great local recommendations.

Getting Around:
It is a quick 10-15 min drive into downtown Cincinnati. There is a shuttle to downtown, red bikes, Uber and cabs. Heading to Paul Brown or Great American Ball Park? Queen City Riverboats provides shuttles to all Reds and Bengals home games from Newport, Kentucky (5-minute drive from the house) to the riverfront landings across the river to the stadiums in Cincinnati.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Ohio River Valley. Laundry facilities and an arcade/games room are available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and 3 bathrooms in the holiday home.
