Only 20 minutes from Kings Island and 30 minutes from downtown Cincinnati (Newport Aquarium, Museum Center, etc). 45 minutes to an hour to The Ark and Creation Museum. Loveland Castle is less than 10 minutes away.

Completely remodeled with the classic cottage charm you want in a vacation property and all the modern amenities. Spacious cathedral ceilings in the living room and a brand new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, new floors and with lots of natural light. 3 bedrooms and a newly remodeled bathroom/laundry room. The home has 4 beds (2 queen, 2 twins as a bunk bed) in 3 bedroom there is also a portable cot so that it will sleep up to 6 guests. (ideally no more than 4 adults is the best fit though).

Now for the fun part! Start your day by taking a seat on the expansive front porch overlooking the 4 acres of fields and forest and enjoy the gentle river breeze. Later, take a hike down to the river with your chair and sit on the rocky beach to listen to the rapids or bring your fishing pole and try your hand at fishing. Before dark, jump on your bike and head north for a half of a mile to downtown Loveland for dinner or a drink. Wrap up your evening beside the house with a glass of wine next to our cozy campfire area.
A great electric vent free fireplace in the family room makes for a cozy movie night too!

Keep in mind that this is a historic home that is over 100 years old. Although it has been completely remodeled inside and out, there are quirks that come with a historic home like sloping floors, room layouts, settlement cracks here and there to name a few. While those things are expected and don't bother most guests we want to make sure to point them out so you can make the decision before booking if they will bother you. We think they add to the charm and appeal of the home and love the history that this home has sitting next to the bike trail (that used to be the railroad tracks through here!) and is truly part of what we love so much about our sweet little treasure along the trail :)

PETS: we can accommodate up to two dogs (small to medium sized - 50lbs or less) for an additional nightly fee of $25 each. If you have a service dog that you are bringing along we are required to note that on your reservation file and provide you with specific info so you will need to let us know prior to your arrival so that we can provide you that. ANY dogs coming to the property without prior notification will incur a $100 administrative fee.

Please Request to see our "Dog Policy" before booking if you are interested in bringing your dog along. We can not make exceptions to our policy. Thank you!
