About this property
Sunny 2BR Bungalow • Office & Fenced Yard • Central Location
Welcome to Old Red Bank Bungalow — a cheerful two-bedroom home with bright blue-and-yellow décor, a dedicated main-level office, and a fully fenced backyard perfect for pups. The sunny kitchen is the heart of the home, offering plenty of natural light and everything you need for easy meals or longer stays.
Both bedrooms and the bathroom are located upstairs and accessed by original pre-WWII compact stairs—narrower and steeper than modern steps, but full of character and part of the home’s charm. Guests who stay here often appreciate the cozy, tucked-away feel of the upper level.
The bungalow sits in a friendly neighborhood just .25 miles from the Wasson Way Trail, making it easy to walk, run, or bike straight into Ault Park and surrounding areas. Hyde Park, Oakley, shopping centers, grocery stores, coffee shops, and casual dining are all just minutes away.
Whether you’re here for work, a wedding, a getaway, or a visit with family, this home offers comfort, convenience, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

About the host
Hosted by Jessica Stambaugh
My husband and I fell in love with Old Red Bank the moment we discovered it. We purchased the cottage in 2015 as a long-term rental and had the privilege of hosting wonderful tenants—most stayed around two years, saved for their first homes, and started their families. We’re still friends with many of them today.
In 2017, we took on a foreclosed home down the street. It was a massive project that pushed my husband’s DIY skills to the limit, but after nearly a year of renovation, it became another place where new Cincinnati families could grow and build their futures.
By 2022, the cottage’s tenants welcomed a new baby and moved into their forever home. With the increasing demand for furnished stays in the area, we decided to transform the cottage into a short-term rental. It was a leap of faith, but one I’m so grateful we took. Hosting has become one of my favorite adventures, and I can’t wait to welcome you to Old Red Bank.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Old Red Bank the moment we discovered it. This little hillside street feels peaceful and tucked away, yet it sits close to everything—Hyde Park, Oakley, Ault Park, and quick access to both I-71 and Columbia Parkway.
We love the mix of neighbors, the steady flow of walkers, runners, and cyclists heading toward Wasson Way, and the sense of community that makes this area feel welcoming and safe. It has the perfect balance of convenience and quiet—close to city life, but with the calm of a residential pocket where people still wave as they pass by.
For us, it’s the best of both worlds, and we’re so grateful to share it with guests.

What makes this property unique
This bungalow blends its 1930s structure with thoughtful modern touches throughout. Guests love the bright, sunlit kitchen, dedicated home office with an adjustable desk, and the fully fenced backyard perfect for dogs. The compact pre–WWII stairs give the home its quirky personality, while updated décor, comfortable bedding, and multiple TVs add the modern comfort today’s travelers expect. It’s a stylish, convenient home base close to Hyde Park, Oakley, Ault Park, and the Wasson Way Trail.
