This was the perfect place for our extended family of 16. We enjoyed hanging out on the couch or chatting on the rocking chairs on the front porch. The house is in an awesome location where we easily traveled to the Arc Encounter and the Newport Waterfront. If we are in the area, we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful, clean, older home, quiet historic neighborhood for walking. Air conditioning was a life-saver during a hot week.

A gracious and beautiful old house with room for us to gather with our children, sons and daughters in law, and grandkids. Comfortable and big enough to spread out in. We had a lovely time and would definitely return. We loved the giant couch that provided room for all. We found Covington an interesting town. Wallace Woods area is gorgeous, and it is a short drive to the Ohio River and the downtown shops and restaurants. I would give an extra star if I could because the owner was very helpful and kind--extending our check-out time when a flight was canceled.

We loved the historical aspect of the house and area where it was located. All the upgrades to modernize the house was very stylish and complimented the aesthetics of it’s surroundings. It was very spacious and we loved the large surround sofas for family time and the many dining areas for our large group. We were very pleased and enjoyed our stay here.

Our extended family likes to vacation together every 3 years and this beautiful home fit the bill for our 7 adults and 8 children. Plenty of room to spread out and large living and dining rooms when we wanted to come together for games or meals. Close to all the family- friendly attractions in and around Cincinnati. House has a lot of charm!

This was such a neat property. Had plenty of room for our group. The place was neat as a pin and had lots of charm. Our group consisted of several elderly people and the stairs weren't too bad. Beds were comfortable. Showers were clean and had good pressure. Overall we lived it.
PS: Weather was perfect and we really enjoyed the front porch.
4.8
The house was beautiful and well appointed for a large group. We had a great brothers and sisters get away there. Brent is a excellent, responsive host. The parking was as described, the older neighborhood is really lovely and we found nice restaurants close too. Getting into downtown Cincinnati is easy and short. A Kroger is extremely close too. It was fun to sit on the porch and in the living room to visit. The only thing that could have been improved was the quality of the beds which are a little older. Even so we'd stay there again because the overall property was so nice, convenient and good for a group.

This property is magical! My entire family enjoyed this grand home completely! It had every amenity we could possibly ask for! Kudos!
4.8
We love the beautiful Queen Anne home! Plenty of room for all 16 of us who go to go. Comfortable furniture and beds, well stocked kitchen. The Hot tub was a big hit every evening after all the walking at the parks. Convenient to Interstate and all places we visited. The owner was just a call or e-mail away before and during stay. The street we were on was beautiful and I enjoyed the porch swing or rockers on front porch and watching people walking their dogs and babies on the side walk. A bit of stepping back in time. I would recommend staying here with a large group if you need to be in the area.

We traveled to Cincy with group of 6 for a large project installation. This house was a perfect home base for us. It would be cramped at 26 people, but for 6 (or even 8 or 9), it had plenty of space. The outdoor space and hot tub were wonderful, and a nicely appointed kitchen was enjoyed as well. My only complaint was that the TV setup is very complicated, and took quite a while to figure out. Some better instructions would be appreciated.
4.8
The house was absolutely beautiful and was a perfect fit for our large family. Lots of room and a fun yard to hide Easter eggs. Kitchen was well stocked and we loved the dining room space so the entire family could eat together. Bunk room was so roomy and the master suite was awesome. The owners were easily available and responsive to any questions.

Our family of 8 had plenty of room to spread out in this fun house!
The neighborhood is gorgeous - made up of similar era homes. I wish there were more exterior photos of the neighborhood so people could see how beautiful it is.
Well-stocked kitchen, and just enough towels for us (meaning a hot tub towel and shower towel for everyone). You might run low if you have 15-20 people there. The hot tub / outdoor rec area was a blast. The yard is large and fenced, so it worked well for our kids.
This is a great home for a large group and I wouldn't hesitate to rent it again. There are lots of stairs, so kids under 2 need to be watched. But, there are two main-floor bedrooms, which is great for flexibility of guests.
The only "cons" to me were a couple outlets that weren't secure, and the fact that renters were required to strip all the used bedding, empty all trash, and wash and put away all dishes. I don't mind loading/running the dishwasher, doing a load of towels, etc., but the list seemed a bit excessive when paying a cleaning fee. Still, I would rent again, and recommend the home to others. It is beautiful, clean, and well-cared for.

This house was awesome. We each had our own bedroom, although we did have to share bathrooms, but that was OK. The kitchen had everything we needed. We took walks and felt very safe. I would highly recommend this property.
4.8
We greatly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful piece of history. Rooms are nice and large, original architectural details everywhere. 22 people including babies and we had PLENTY of room.
Back patio and hot tub were a great success also.
4.8
A very nice old Victorian house in a pleasant neighborhood. Rooms are big, high ceilings, and thankfully enough bathrooms for a big group (we had 21 people!). Kitchen is good and modern, well stocked with utensils. Only 2 miles from the Ohio river, so we enjoyed a walk through the historic district downtown Covington.
4.8
Beautiful historic home which can sleep many. The first floor has a very large sectional and multiple tables making it easy and comfortable for group gatherings and game playing. We also enjoyed the outdoor space as a fun place to gather.

We choose the Queen Ann Mansion for our family Christmas celebration. It accommodated all our children and grandchildren, 24 total, comfortably for 3 nights. Being together in this beautiful house made a special Christmas memory.
4.8
This home was absolutely beautiful and accommodated our family get-together just perfectly. The gathering areas were large enough that everyone could be together in those spaces. There were tons of beds and rooms. It was honestly just a really great weekend and we are so grateful to have been able to spend it together in this beautiful home!! Thank you!!!

The house was big, we enjoyed it, grand kids had a ball, especially the hot tub. My room was on the first floor next to the kitchen. The bathroom was close and very clean. After that I not sure who slept where, my daughters handle that.
I was worried about on street parking but there were 2 spaces right in font of the house so it was not a problem

Perfect for Our Large Family Trip
Beautiful historic home in a great neighborhood, a short hop to Cincinnati and all thing Newport. The house was fully equipped with plenty of towels, sheets, etc. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with all the dishes and small appliances we needed.
It is not stocked with toiletries such as body wash, shampoo, etc. so make sure to pack those. (Out of 12 of us, no one remembered to bring soap/body wash!) There were plenty of paper products which other reviews mentioned were in short supply-we did not find that to be the case.
The living room was very comfortable and easily accommodated all of us. The wifi worked perfectly in all areas of the house.
The front porch was the ideal place for morning coffee and evening relaxing.
The owners were very responsive when we contacted them. We encountered a power outage due to a storm. They contacted the power company to get us information about estimated time for the service to be restored. We did have to go out to get flashlights and battery lanterns to get through the night. The owners offered to bring a generator to us, but we didn't feel that was necessary, so we declined their offer.
We visited the Newport aquarium, a Red's game, BB Riverboat cruises and King's Island - all were easy to get to with a short drive or Uber.
This was a great place to celebrate our anniversary with our children and grandchildren.

We were beyond pleased with the home. It was the perfect setting for our out of town family members to stay for our daughter's wedding. The space provided for ample room for ourselves, family members, and guests to gather. The porch is amazing to sit out on as the thunderstorms roll into the area.
The owners were prompt and friendly to any questions or issues we had.
4.8
Beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, especially for 11 ladies (16 beds & 5 baths!) traveling for the week to see the Ark and Creation Museum. We enjoyed great food at local restaurants and also the Butterflies at the Krohn Conservatory. Our scheduled Tiki Pontoon Boat Ride had to be cancelled due to thunderstorms that day but we still loved our Road Trip to Kentucky and Cincinnati!
