Doctor’s Retreat w/ Hot Tub
Summary: A mere 6 blocks from the banks of the Ohio River, this historic home is ready to blow you away with its grand architecture, unbeatable location, and desirable amenities that will have you coming back to the Queen City and surrounding area time and time again.
The Space: Built in 1908 and remarkably preserved, this 3-bedroom home will be your own personal sanctuary, tucked away on a private street yet just steps away from adventure. The welcoming front porch will be your go-to spot for sipping your fresh cup of morning coffee while you watch the neighborhood come to life and plan out the day’s festivities. On the back deck, soak all your cares away in the bubbling hot tub, enjoying a refreshing cocktail while you admire the vast canopy of stars.
While quaint, Dayton isn’t short on things to do and see. Enjoy riverfront views as you venture along the Greenway offering picturesque paths for both walking and cycling or immerse yourself in the town’s rich history by exploring the historic district with beautifully preserved architecture. Also known for its arts, culture, festivals, and events, Dayton’s artistic side is ripe for exploration. Bustling Fairfield Ave is just steps from your front door, offering a variety of shopping and dining options – the answer to the question of what to have for dinner has never been easier! Just a few blocks away, Bellevue is an up-and-coming town and destination in its own right, booming with new shops and restaurants and an open-container entertainment district for a fun day of sipping and exploring.
The home’s stylish interior offers its own form of excitement as you admire the beautiful marriage of original elements and modern updates. Gather together in the chic living room on plush sofa and armchair seating while you stream that new movie or series you’ve been saving on the smart TV. From here, make your way into the dining room where the stately table seats 8 for formal meals and spontaneous family game nights alike. The kitchen showcases stainless steel appliances, glossy stone countertops, and sleek white cabinetry stocked with cookware and dining ware for all your culinary endeavors. On the lower level, a secondary living space includes additional sofa seating and a smart TV, meaning there will never be an argument over what to watch. The attached game room is the perfect spot for cocktails while you challenge each other to a competitive round or two of foosball.

Bedroom #1 includes a king size bed and a twin size bed.
Bedroom #2 includes a king size bed.
Bedroom #3 includes a queen size bed.

Just across the Ohio River from the Bengals Stadium, Riverfront Park, and Great American Ballpark, you’ll be within easy reach of some of Cincinnati’s most popular attractions. Beyond this area, there’s still so much more to explore. From Cincinnati’s street art revolution which has transformed neighborhoods with 180+ public murals, to its serious beer culture, revitalized historic neighborhoods with trendy shopping and dining like Over-the-Rhine, and authentic Art Deco architecture and design, this culturally diverse city is a can’t-miss destination.
Back on the Kentucky side of the river, you’re in Bourbon Trail territory.

Perfect Property
The location of the house was perfect for our vacation to Cincinnati. There is so much to do for families in the Cincinnati and northern Kentucky area. I would highly recommend this property if you don’t want to stay in downtown Cincinnati, but yet be close enough for all the attractions.

House was charming! We are from a rural area, so sitting on a front porch of a little street and having neighbors so near (the houses' roofs were almost touching!) was a true novelty for us and exactly the experience we were looking for on this trip to visit the Ark. We had three generations (30's, 60's, 80's) in the house and all were happy with it. The neighbors were very nice, too! We talked with a young girl walking down the street pushing a stroller with a ferret one morning and had two friendly cats that would visit us as we sat on the front porch :) Management was always quick to respond to any questions. Loved the hot tub for aching muscles after a busy day of sightseeing, and you are so close to so many things to do, like the riverboats and everything in Cincinnati. Thanks for sharing your house with some folks from NC!

Great stay, but the small front bedroom didn't have an HVAC vent so it was hot. Would have been miserable later in the summer.

Grandson first visit
Overall the house was nice and in a great neighborhood. The yard however is growing over with weeds even on the pathways. It also didn’t help that the unit sleeps 9 and there are only four forks. No hot pads for cooking either.

Perfect stay in a beautiful old home
This home was gorgeous! The host was wonderfully helpful, kind, and prompt to reply to any questions we had. They were amazing !The home was so comfortable and spacious. It had a beautiful old world charm with lovely modern touches and comforts. The front door was so beautiful, and we loved relaxing in the hot tub on the back deck after long days of walking and exploring Cincinnati. Our older daughter enjoyed having her own space in the lovely finished basement. The upstairs bedrooms were wonderful and cozy with lots of space. The area around the home was also amazing! It was very walkable with many great restaurants and shops nearby. It was also a quick drive to everything we wanted to explore in Cincinnati. It was a perfect and relaxing stay. We were so sad to leave, and are hoping to visit again. Don't hesitate to book. You will love staying here.

Great family stay
Our family recently stayed at this property for a wedding, and it was great. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out, play games, watch movies, etc. It was great being able to have a kitchen to cook in. The beds were all very comfortable. We loved the old charm of the house. The home felt in a safe area, although it was on a main street, but this also meant very convenient to everything we did in the area, on the Kentucky side, as well as driving 2 miles to Cincinatti. It had easy freeway access as well to grocery stores, etc. There are a lot of cute stores just down the road on that main street as well. We loved our stay, and would definitely stay there again! The host was great at communicating and responding, very helpful.

Weekend Getaway
Stayed at this property with a few buddies from high school for weekend reunion in Cincy. Nice property. My only 1st world complaint: wish the bathrooms had counters instead of pedestal sinks so we had a place to set our toiletries. Convenient location to downtown Cincy and quaint little neighborhood.
