Rooms were very clean. Lots of kid toys for toddlers. Pet friendly for our dog. We celebrated Christmas with our family. The Christmas tree and decorations were greatly appreciated. We cooked all our meals at the house. The house is older so the kitchen is smaller than we are accustomed to today, but very functional. Kitchen was well-stocked with all utensils and cooking supplies. Appreciated 3 full bathrooms and the half bath on the main floor.There are a lot of steps from your parked car to the front door. It wasn't a problem for us, but if you have any mobility issues, carrying your luggage and supplies could be problematic especially in the winter.

Gorgeous, immaculate, cozy, great hosts!

Our two families of 14 people total stayed here while we visited the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum in KY, and we all agreed this fabulous house helped to take our trip to the next level. Sometimes older homes that are traditionally decorated feel dirty, but this place was spanking new and immaculate in terms of the bathrooms and kitchen, appliances, bedding, etc. Each room is themed with an old Hollywood film and that made it fun for all of us, there was endless coffee supplied for us to avail ourselves of (thank you Amy!), plenty of hot water for all our showers, the hosts were super helpful with restaurant recs and very easy to get in touch with, and the beds were so comfortable! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Hilltop Hideaway

We met for Father's Day weekend for a family get-together. We had 13 family members, and there was plenty of space for everyone! Hilltop Manor was as described, and the pictures didn't do the home justice- it was beautifully decorated with attention to detail to stay with its theme. The backyard was beautiful for the adults to sit and visit while the kids (and pups) played. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely return! Thanks, Amy, for your quick responses and toleration of my endless questions!

Stellar Experience and Home base

From beginning to end, our experience was marked with excellence. The host remained proactive and responsive throughout the duration of our rental. Our entire family of fourteen was impressed with the fancy Hollywood theme, well appointed spaces and stocked necessities. The children loved making use of all the floors, rooms and games, their imaginations ran wild. The adults enjoyed the different spaces to retreat but also gather together. The home was comforting and warmly decorated for the Christmas season which added another layer to the home sweet home experience.

True Hospitality

Communication was excellent and our host went above and beyond to answer questions and accomodate any requests. House was immaculate, charming and fun with all the themed rooms. Air hockey and outdoor fire pit were hits, as well. As another reviewer noted, the third floor is not as private, but it did not detract from our stay. However, it is best to be aware going in to your stay of the strain 12 people can put on hot water and plan accordingly! A stepstool for shorter adults would be handy to bring, as well! All-in-all, though, we had a wonderful time and would visit again in a heart beat.

Sorority Reunion

This property is amazing! It is such a unique house with fabulous attention to detail. We were in awe as we kept discovering unique touches that were perfectly in keeping with the themed rooms. Not only is the house incredible, but Amy is the perfect host! I don’t think there is a single thing she hasn’t thought of, from necessities to niceties she has it covered. Beds were super comfy and the house was spotless. Amy was quick to respond to questions and provide information as well. While this house was amazing for a ‘girls weekend’ several of us talked about using it when getting together with family in the area. Brava to Amy for creating the perfect stage for a great experience.

Youth Retreat

We absolutely loved this house!!! We were so happy to come across this gem. They went out of their way to give us a same day rental when we were in a pinch. We rented it for 5 days and 4 nights with 3 adults and 9 teenagers. We instantly fell in love with the charm and beauty of the historic home. There was plenty of room for us all plus some. Chris and Amy met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the home and made themselves available to us whenever we needed them. A couple of the features the teens loved were the bluetooth speaker and the assortment of boardgames. We used the kitchen and dining area multiple times and found it adequately equipped. We highly recommend renting this home. It is conveniently located close to The Creation Museum and The Ark Encounter. Also, take an afternoon to walk across the bridge in Convington, KY into Cincinnati, OH and enjoy the park. It will quickly become your home away from home.

Best VRBO to date!

My husband and I travel often. But this time we were with our immediate family as well for my brother's wedding. Let me tell you how great this place was! First off, the location was superb; right between the Creation Museum, Arkansas Encounter, Sporting Venues and so much more! They had a beautiful yard that was fenced in the back for your dog or small children that want to run around. My dog had an amazing time! The rooms were great! We took Elvis, my parents Marilyn, Grandma took Audrey, my brother took Forest and the rest of the groomsmen took the Harry Potter and Titanic rooms. The beds were so comfortable! The rooms were so clean and you can tell they are looked after with care! The house had everything you need for vacation! Iron and ironing board, all the dishes and pots and pans you could ask for for cooking, a firepit for outside enjoyment, boardgames, tvs in all the rooms and so much more! Don't take my word for it just take a trip and book the house! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for a phenomenal stay!!!

Family Christmas Gathering

Our immediate family gathered at Hilltop Manor for an early Christmas celebration. The house was perfect for all of us (from seniors to toddlers). The house is beautiful on its own, and the Christmas decorations added to the holiday spirit. The top floor was perfect for the grandkids and their parents, while the other adults enjoyed large and well-appointed bedrooms on the second floor. The dining room was perfect for dinners and game nights, and the kids loved the air hockey game in the basement. The house was stocked with all basic supplies and more. The hosts were so welcoming and responsive - going above and beyond to return a beloved item accidentally left behind. Unfortunately, there are quite a few stairs to the entrance, so it might be difficult for someone with limited mobility; but I would highly recommend the home for everyone else!

Fun and quirky mansion-ish house.

With a mix of old Hollywood and Harry Potter, the house gives you a lot to look at and talk about. The four main bedrooms were comfy, but the grownups in our group didn't care for the bunks or the lack of privacy on the top floor. The kitchen was well equipped, the backyard was nice with lots of seating, and the kids in our group loved the air hockey. The home contact was friendly and responsive.

Great Movie Themed House

Property is well maintained charming older house. Perfect for our siblings weekend. We did have one no show due to no bedroom or shower on main floor. The house's movie theme was nice and well thought out. It is very close to Cincinnati and all Northern Kentucky has to offer. There is a large high school across the street in the front, but we never heard people, cars or buses. We really enjoyed our stay. We would return again.
