About this house rental
Built in 1887, this former convent has been beautifully renovated to create a unique getaway featuring exposed brick, beautiful hardwood floors, 11-ft ceilings on the first floor, and an abundance of natural light. This house is huge, with 5,400 square feet of living space for your group to enjoy! All bedrooms have queen beds, sitting areas, light-blocking curtains or blinds, and double-paned windows to maintain a quiet and peaceful environment for you. You'll get a great night's sleep!
The space
Each of the three floors has its own new, efficient, and independent heating/cooling system, and the temperature in every bedroom can be adjusted to the preferences of individual guests.
With two large dining rooms and a fully-equipped kitchen, including commercial-grade and artisan coffee supplies, the Convent is perfect for your group.
No parties, please!
Guest access
You'll be able to access the entire house except for a one bed, one bath apartment hidden away on the main floor, which has its own separate entrance and will be vacant during your stay unless you'd like access to it (available for an additional charge of $50 per night).
Other things to note
We share an unfenced backyard and courtyard with the owners of a former Catholic rectory and with some urban farmers who tend parts of the yard. They’re all dear friends and if you're interested you can get breakfast made with fresh eggs and vegetables from the urban farm at For the Life of the World Café a block away! You’re nestled in the heart of a close-knit community of 100+ people, so it's not unusual to see a few people using the yard.

This is a very cool unique property with plenty of room for our family of 11 adults and 2 toddlers. We had enough dishes and cooking supplies for the whole family, and seating for the whole family to eat and play games together. Every couple had their own bathroom, and so quiet. Greg is a great host and very helpful. There are so many attractions within 15 minutes of the property making this a great location and not having to be in the middle of thehussle and bussle of downtown. If we go back to the area to visit again, we will try to stay here again. It was perfect for our family.

We had an amazing stay at the Convent. We got to know this group of parents in the fall of 2021 when all of our sons were living together. Over the years, we came to become friends. Staying at the convent for three nights over graduation weekend for our boys was special in so many ways, but the comfort and feel of the convent was an ideal way to spend time together. Greg thought of every detail that we needed. The beds were super comfortable and the amenities were top notch. I would love to stay again, but our boys have graduated!

This place was amazing! Our son got married at Xavier 5 mins away. We have 3 other adult children with significant others and had my in-laws with us. The downstairs connected apartment was perfect for the in-laws! The bedrooms were all great sizes with extra seating in each one. The 3rd floor was the perfect place for my son and his groomsmen to get ready. Everything we needed was in the kitchen and towels were plentiful. The living room had enough seating for all of us to sit together to visit and the parking lot adjacent to the home was large enough for all of our cars. Greg was wonderful to communicate with and quickly answered all questions. I highly recommend the Convent for anyone who needs a good sized place to stay in the Cincinnati area.

Eleven of us came to Cincinnati to celebrate our dad/granddad’s 100th birthday. The house was exactly what we needed. Lots of spacious bedrooms and a kitchen equipped with everything we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving feast and room in the dining areas for all 13 of us. And Greg was very responsive to any questions we had. Thanks for helping us with this special visit.

This place is amazing. An expertly equipped kitchen with sharp knives, great pans, plenty of glasses and silverware for our group of 11. Lots of cozy sitting areas and separate sleeping spaces in the 3-level house, located in a real homey neighborhood close to shopping, restaurants and green spaces. Comfy beds, beautiful floors and a rich sense of history! Owner was very responsive to our questions.

We used every room in the beautifully restored Convent for 3 nights and loved every minute! The rooms were all large and each one had its own a.c./heating unit on its own thermostat which was very convenient. The 2nd floor had 3 shared bathrooms for the 5 rooms on that level, so it was never a problem with waiting. We would definitely come back here again!

We had our joint bachelor/bachelorette party in Cincy and stayed at this awesome house! There were five couples and we all fit comfortably! We loved the uniqueness of the house and location was perfect because most of our activities happed in Over-the-Rhine. Which was a quick 8 min Uber. Plenty of different large spaces throughout the house for our large group to hang out. The manager of the house was a great communicator as well. We all loved the house and would certainly stay again!

The Convent is unique and so well-suited to a group or family gathering! The inside with it's brick, pine floors and original woodwork is stunning. The decor is simple and elegant and the bedrooms/beds very comfortable and roomy! And Greg (the host) was very responsive and helpful! I can't say enough about how well he communicated and addressed a couple minor issues we had - he was the perfect host!

We stayed at the convent home for 3 nights with 3 families during spring break and took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge and the Children's Museum. Our group had 7 adults and 9 children (16 months-14 yrs) -the property was clean, comfortable and the best part was the individual space temperature regulation available to ensure everyone was comfortable. The neighbors were very nice and helpful to us. We had a fantastic time and will return when we are back in the area. Highly recommend for a large family or multiple families.
