About this property
House of Liebe - Quirky & Playful
Plenty of Personality! A fun & eclectic smart home suite with whimsical décor, giant games, a chalk-friendly patio and much, much more — your urban escape near the river, Downtown Cincinnati, OTR and MainStrasse Village.
Not your typical rental. Our 1860 modern suite is colorful, whimsical, and full of surprises — from quirky oversized décor to hidden miniatures tucked in the brick wall. With two floors to explore, and a private back patio perfect for coffee, cocktails, or chalk art on the brick wall, this retreat is built to delight all ages.
Whether you’re here to play, relax, or create memories, the House of Liebe (German for “love”) makes it easy!

✪ Why Guests Love Us.
⋆────⋆────⋆
We’re not just a place to stay — we’re an experience. With 3 rentals and over 3,000 five-star reviews, guests tell us all the time: “You’ve thought of everything!” Come see why. At the House of Liebe, grown-ups never have to grow up.
✪ Know Before Booking
⋆────⋆────⋆
✵ This is a thriving, diverse city neighborhood—full of charm, local culture, and the buzz of daily life. You may encounter all kinds of people as you explore, which is part of its authentic urban character.
✵ Next door is a gas station and mini-market—great for quick snacks, drinks, or filling up the tank. You may hear the bustle from time to time (music, trucks, or deliveries), but it’s just the rhythm of city life. Alexa is ready with sleep sounds or gentle music, perfect for winding down after a busy day in the city.
✵ Our spaces are in two-family homes, so neighbors may be just on the other side of a wall or window. Please respect quiet hours after 11 PM, keep outdoor gatherings low-key, and use shared spaces with courtesy. A little consideration goes a long way to making everyone’s stay enjoyable.
✵ No unregistered guests or visitors are allowed on the property at any time, even if they are not staying overnight. For safety, city licensing, and compliance, everyone must be included in the reservation. Failure to register the correct number of guests will result in the entire group being asked to leave without refund. Maximum occupancy is 6 guests.

About the host
Hosted by Vicky or Doug
Family of 4 from the Greater Cincinnati Area!
Doug is an amazing film-maker, composer and sound guy; Vicky was a top podcaster on iTunes and blogger for 10 yrs focusing on "What Really Matters"; Aidan is our charming, handsome guy - a head pastry chef, supreme foodie, tech-geek, dog whisperer and all-around good human being loved by all; and Ellie is our adorable little princess - nick-named "Friday" for believing every day can be Friday when you're doing what you love. She loves music, her friends, art, pets and school. And then there is Granny (a.k.a. Linda) who is #5 to our Rental Venture. Granny is retired and loves to help at our Rentals when she can. It's her FREE Thornton gym membership. She loves meeting guests and takes as much pride in hosting our homes as the rest of us.
We all LOVE food, movies, travel, people, and the city we live in! We have been landlords for over 25 years and our first Rental (House of Liebe - love in German) was the first home we bought together in Covington. The other half of this historic two-family is our other place (The Tres House - tres for three floors and our third Rental). It has been so much fun and successful we opened up two others, just a street over (The Slanted House and Always Friday - of course named after Ellie). And yes, The Slanted House does lean a little to the west if you are looking at it from across the street. So yes - we love hosting and always beautify-ing (a.k.a. cleaning) our homes to share with others.

Why they chose this property
Mutter Gottes Kirche, or Mother of God Church, was founded by German immigrants to Covington in 1841. The surrounding neighborhoods of treelined streets and brick town homes is named for this beautiful landmark. Mutter Gottes neighborhood was one of the first residential expansions of Covington, and most structures there were built between 1860 and 1890. The area bound by Fourth Street on the north, Pike street on the south, the CSX railway to the west, and Madison Avenue to the east is listed as a National Registered Historic District. Noteworthy historic structures include the fire station on Sixth Street and the Albert B. Koett house on Russell Street. A garden at the intersection of Sixth and Craig contains the Neighborhood Mosaic sign.
