THE SPACE
This historic, stylish property is a Smart Home and an urban retreat like no other. Our huge 1860 modern suite provides a relaxing stay for 1 to 6 people: solo travelers, business trips, families with kids, and furry friends. Over 1200 sq. ft. of updated, modern space. Reserved parking is included for two vehicles behind the home.
You’ll feel like you’re at home with a fully-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, private patio, Netflix and Apple TV, Alexa through out (every room), drinks, coffee, snacks and more!
You can GEEK OUT in this Smart Home and control the Hue Lighting, limitless music, and house temperature with your personal assistant Alexa. And of course, there is extremely high-speed wireless internet. There are multi-port USB charging stations throughout the house. For your ENTERTAINMENT, we offer free Netflix and Apple TV on both floors. There is an antenna on the TV, second-floor living room, if you need to access local channels. Bring your passwords so you can login to your own accounts via Apple TV. There are apps for Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Sling, Disney+, and so on.
Snuggle up in either of our two BEDROOMS both with plush queen-size beds. There is a small desk in the 2nd floor brown bedroom for private workspace. The 1st floor bedroom (red hand-stenciled room) is huge and conveniently connected to the kitchen. This beautiful red bedroom also has it’s own TV. Ask Alexa to help you drift away with sleep sounds or soft music.
The LIVING ROOM (common space, purple room on 2nd floor) can be used as a 3rd bedroom if needed (includes a sofa to sleep on provided you cover it with the linens in the towel closet. Do this to avoid unnecessary damages to this expensive sofa.) or an entertainment area for TV, games and relaxing. This room also has a pub set (from an old local theater in Cincinnati) for playing cards or movies ’n snacking. We provide the popcorn! There’s a full-size air mattress if you need to spread out more! Bonus: enjoy our calf / foot massager …. a special touch that most places don’t offer! Ahhhhhh.
The BATHROOM is located on the 2nd floor. We provide all towels, linens, and toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush and paste, and bath gel so you don’t have to tote them. Enjoy the personalized tall shower with many unique settings such as waterfall and massage.
The gourmet KITCHEN is decked out with everything you’ll need for preparing meals at home. If it’s not there, we want to know so we can add it! Take a peek through our 25+ cabinets and drawers - you’ll find spices and herbs, pots ’n pans, baking dishes, cutting boards, blender, knives, toys for the kiddos, pet bowls and accessories, and many other helpful items. We offer a single serve coffee maker, designed to brew a coffee pod or beans (both provided.)
The LAUNDRY nook is located conveniently off the kitchen. We provide detergent, fabric sheets and more to help you get the job done easily.
NEED MORE SPACE? Rent “Tres House”, the front of the house, and share the entire house together. House of Liebe (6) + Tres House (6) = 12 guests. Need more space than that …. one street over we own “The Slanted House” and “Always Friday” (each sleeps up to 2 more).
If you do plan to stay with a pet, please mention it so we can discuss specifics. No cats, dogs only. Note the number of pets at the time of your inquiry or reservation (2 dog limit please.) We charge a Pet Resort Fee of $20 per stay.
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE
Potential for city noise (next to a gas station & busy street)
Must be able to climb stairs
Side yard is shared with our other rental guests
Outdoor security cameras/recording devices on property
(viewing exterior of home)
There are only two parking spots - use spaces marked #1 only - during rental window (check-in to check-out).
If you’re considering renting our place in the heat of summer, please read the following before you book: House of Liebe (an 1860 historic home) gets a lot of sun in the city. We suggest keeping the blinds closed during the day, using the ceiling fans and standing fan, ensuring the vents are open, and take advantage of the supplemental A/C unit on the second floor. If you prefer a house that can be super cold like a hotel during the hottest days of July / August …. This house may not be for you. The formula for house “coolness” has always been to expect a 20° - 25° difference from the temperature outside. Read all of our reviews over 6 years and you will see that guests find our place extremely comfortable and we will be booked solid during the summer. However, I mentioned this in case guests are very sensitive to summer heat.
Important- No extra guests. Plans change ... so let us know if yours do. Please note our capacity of 6 and make sure your reservation matches the number of guests in our Rental. (This includes visitors even if they don’t spend the night.) If you need to add a guest at the last minute, please reach out to us right away. It is only $10 extra per guest beyond the first two registered. Failure to communicate with hosts about the correct number of guests will result in ALL guests being asked to leave.
Upon booking please tell us …. What brings you to Covington? Why do you wish to rent our place? Who will be joining you? How many guests? Do you have pets and if so, how many/what kind? How many cars do you need to park?

Such an fun place! Parking is a little tight as mentioned in the listing but we made it fine even in a big truck. Loved the cute backyard & it was all our pup needed. Walkable to restaurants. Spiral staircase to bathroom may hinder those with mobility issues. Really great place!

My wife and I spent a few days in the area to take in some Reds games and see some other attractions in the area and this place was perfect for that! About 25 minute walk to GABP and only 10 minute walk to several great restaurants.
Would definitely recommend!!

We were in town for Bockfest in Cincinnati. Quick access to the Over-The-Rhein area. In addition we walked over the bridge to the Moerlein Brewery. Excellent beds and everything we needed in the kitchen. Easy checkin. Overall a great stay. Will definitely stay here again if in the area.

We were only able to stay one evening, but loved all of the creative details in this beautiful historic home. We were visiting for a Bengals game and tour of UC's campus. The home was so convenient for getting to all of our events ~ including an easy walk across the bridge to the game! The house was clean and beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed finding all of the treasures throughout, and it was fun to see my 18 year-olds playing ping-pong, mini pool, magnetic poetry, and trying out the record player upstairs. We walked to dinner on Main Street and also found a cat cafe just a half mile away :) Thank you for sharing this lovely home!
4.9
We came in for the Zincinnati Oktober Fest. The house had everything we needed and more. Soooo many little quirky things that made our inner child smile. Beds were comfortable. Close to Main Street shops and eateries. A fun place to stay.

Everything was great, if you like older homes this one is awesome, everything you need is there and plenty of places in walking distance
4.9
Great house, very comfortable, clean, easy walking distance to downtown Covington and Cincinnati.
We enjoyed the side yard with a view of Cincinnati, very nice at night when the city is lit up! Also nice having the yard as we brought our little dog.
We had Alexa playing our favorite music in each room. Even the gas station next to the house did not bother us at all; the fenced, side yard is a nice buffer. It was convenient to walk over and grab a drink and a snack!
Vicky was very responsive and checked on us to make sure we were comfortable.
We would definitely stay here again!
4.9

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very eclectic and so fun! The owner/property manager really thought of everything! Highly recommend!

Vicky was great! I loved the home - so unique - the house was very close to everything. We went to the Bengles game and it was an easy 30 minute walk. The only draw back was our neighbors who started to party each night at 12:30am. Thank you, Vicky for sharing your beautiful home with us!
4.9
This house was very clean and had plenty of room for us. The house is an old house with a lot of character and nostalgic touches but still has modern features.. we were very comfortable there and it was a great base to use for doing things in Cincinnati and Covington. Very accommodating hosts!

Everything as advertised.

This is a well equipped, clean home close to everything in Covington & Newport. And just across the river from all things Cincinnati. Having a fenced yard in the city was great for my dog! Host Vicky was very good with commumications and most friendly! Would definitely stay again.
4.9
This is the 2nd stay at this property and the 3rd stay at a property from this host. We absolutely LOVE this place and location. We WALKED to get pizza which is a huge plus for us. The house is comfy and the yard is great for the kids hanging out. Plus my 12 y/o left her phone when we checked out and when we went back Vicky was SO KIND and helped us find it! Would 1000% book with this host again!!

Great place. Very cool atmosphere with wonderful eclectic decor. Quick and easy access to Newport/Cinci/Riverbend. Quiet neighborhood. Would highly recommend and use again.
4.9
This property is absolutely gorgeous. From the quirky patio, to the tall ceilings, to the gorgeous wooden floors, to the personality of the overall living space. We just stayed overnight to attend a concert, but I wish we could have stayed longer. There was just so much detail that went into everything. The beds were also extremely comfortable!! That was a huge bonus for us. Overall loved our stay, and if we are ever in the area again, this is definitely where we will be staying!
4.9
The place was so beautiful & the freshness smell of the place was great. I loved the stairs and the downstairs bedroom. Along with the decorations and the full size connect 4 was fun to play. The only negative thing I could say that I didn’t like was that the air conditioner upstairs is attached to the wall. The owner messaged me About why there was water on the floor and leaking down the walls.
I got blamed for the low maintenance. I googled this type of air conditioner and your supposed to empty the condensation pan regularly. I stayed for maybe a total of 12 hours. It was a hectic day with my family they can’t seem to get along so I left in a rush.
So I know 100% the air conditioner wasn’t my fault.
Secondly, my brother has ADHD terribly. He literally likes to touch every single thing it drives me crazy at times, but he can’t help it.
I think the owner was upset that the remotes weren’t in the exact same spot as he/she left them. It was hard enough for me to figure out how things went even though I tried.
Other than that it was a beautiful stay. If you stay make sure you put the remotes in the correct spot when you leave and make sure the coffee pot is in the same spot when you leave. If you notice anything damaged when you arrive make sure to let him/her know before you even stay.
There is also cameras in the front and the back patio. I just felt like someone was watching me 24/7 when I went out to smoke, I don’t like that feeling. Just a heads up!
I also left my $100 Bluetooth speaker and told the owner they could keep it because the water leaked down the the next floor and on the walls from what the picture looked like that was sent to me. I felt bad, but I couldn’t help it. I also asked if there was anything I could do to help, I didn’t get a reply.
I always try to make things right even if I felt as if it wasn’t my fault.

Trip for concert and relaxation and fun. All was perfect and just what was needed. Ow era for caring and communicative ..will stay again. ..

Wonderful home in the heart of Covington!
Second stay here, and will stay again in the future! Love this place. Close walk to Mainstrasse Village, close to the City of Cincinnati. This home oozes so much charm! Fast responses to any questions and go above and beyond to keep you comfortable!

We had a wonderful time. The home is beautiful and the property owner was fantastic. We will absolutely stay there again.

1. We felt safe! This was most important to us. We didn't walk anywhere because of the heat wave and our small children but we never felt weird and it wasn't loud at night except maybe a random car here and there.
2. Vicky was so kind!! She has great response time and is very informational. I mean there is a whole binder of information about the house and area. Not just brochures but their favorite things to do, places, distances, etc that was personalized and authored by them! She was also very accommodating for the one or two small things we had.
3. The space was very clean. I didn't have to think about wiping things down or how clean the floor was for our kids to get down and play. The linens all smelled great and were good quality as if they were recently purchased. Comfortable beds. Good shower pressure.
4. Such a fun place! There's a great side yard which was awesome to have a green space in the city. The listing is accurate as far as entertainment/electronics etc. But also the design and little touches. I thought multiple times "I wonder if they were somewhere and thought this thing would be perfect for the house of Liebe". They've been doing this for such a long time and the thoughtfulness shows!
5. The area is great too. We were still close to plenty of places and things in Cincinnati but the Mainstrasse/Covington and even Newport area offer so much!
So yeah I could probably go on but I think I've made my point. The property is great with a great host. Would recommend.
