Historic 4BR | 3 Kings | Sleeps 10

Summary:

Stay somewhere with a story! This beautifully restored 1910 St. Bernard retreat sleeps 10 with 4 bedrooms, 3 king beds and 2 queens.



Enjoy exposed brick, a spacious kitchen, smart TVs and plenty of room to gather. Walk to Wiedemann’s Brewery and stay about 10 minutes from Downtown Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Zoo, Xavier and UC—an ideal home base for families, friends, sports weekends and group getaways.



The Space:

Welcome to Sweet Escape, a one-of-a-kind Cincinnati retreat where more than a century of history meets the comforts of a modern group getaway.



Built in 1910, this historic St. Bernard property originally served as a meeting place for the Order of United American Mechanics, whose O.U.A.M. initials can still be seen engraved on the building. Over the years, it became a grocery store, candy store, bowling alley and neighborhood gathering place.



Today, the property has been thoughtfully restored into a spacious 4-bedroom home for up to 10 guests while preserving the character and details that make it truly memorable.

GREAT REMODEL

This is a really cool remodeled home. The rooms are a great size and the kids loved that they had their own bed. With 3 KING sized beds you can't go wrong. We loved the exposed brick and original wood floor. There are doors ALL OVER but that made it fun. All of them are secure and locked and no one can go in or out of many of the doors. The kitchen had everything that we needed and the kids enjoyed looking at the fun Cincinnati books the hosts left. Especially the one about the pigs. We attended a Reds game and the drive was quick and easy to get to the ballpark. The neighborhood is safe and the parking on the street was fine. I would highly recommend this house.

Great House for Large Families

We stayed here with our three kids (5, 2, 6 mo) and my in-laws. The house was VERY spacious and having one of the king rooms connecting to a room with two beds was perfect for us to have the kids close by. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances but was lacking in basic spices/seasonings. The coffee bar however was well supplied! Overall the house was very clean and everything functioned as it should. However, if you walk barefoot in the kitchen and/or front room, the bottom of your feet will turn black with dirt. There was nothing noticeable on the floors just built up dirt, but they could use a solid deep clean. The neighborhood is very quiet and we never had any trouble finding parking for our two vehicles next to the house. Several of the neighbors wished us a pleasant stay when we passed them on the street. There is a nice playground about two blocks up the street that is perfect for kiddos to get some energy out in the afternoons before dinner and/or bed. Hose is conveniently located to the Zoo, OTR, and only about a 15 min drive to downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
