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.

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?
