About this property

Historic House of Liebe ... or “Love” in German

Spacious urban suite set alongside Cincinnati & thriving MainStrasse Village! Only 4 blocks from the Ohio River and thriving MainStrasse Village in Covington, KY and next to everything else cool and trendy in Downtown, Bellevue and Newport!


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 futon/sleeper sofa with a thick mattress topper) 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 Sboly single serve coffee maker, designed to brew a coffee pod (provided) or a cup using your own favorite coffee grind.


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?

Just great
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!!

Great stay in Covington
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.

beautiful historic home :)
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!

About the host

Hosted by Vicky or Doug

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Diverse. Historic. Charming. Many of our neighbors have lived on our street for decades. View of beautiful downtown Cincinnati from the bedroom windows and courtyard. Conveniently located next to Dep Liquor Store, Covington Tobacco, Shell Gas Station, and Circle K store for those late night chocolate (or other) cravings!
