My family had a wonderful stay here and we plan to come back for sure. The owners have done an amazing job decorating this house with fun, vintage signs and articles. In fact, we spent our first hour here just checking out all the fun tchotchkes. Super clean and perfect location with plenty of restaurants and boutique shops in walking distance; most important to us, we could walk across the bridge to Great American Ballpark. Highly recommend the Slanted House to anyone wishing to visit the Cincinnati area.

Awesome place, awesome location

I chose this place because of proximity to Brady Music Hall and Great American Stadium. Both were about a 25 minute walk across the Ohio River on a suspension bridge. I found some nice restaurants all in walking distance. Vicky and Doug were never more than a message away with great suggestions about local food and entertainment. Place was thoughtfully decorated and well maintained. Although it was on street parking only, I never had an issue finding parking right in front of the place. Also, easy access to interstates. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will stay here again next time I go to Cinci!

This home was so amazing. The decor was top notch to begin. The size of each room was perfect. Alexa playing relaxing music, bed was so comfortable and they have an area outside the bedroom door where you can go sit and have a smoke if you need too. I was sitting out back with my sweetheart and seen a falling star . This place is a must stay if you’re ever in the area. You won’t be disappointed I promise you that.

Really Enjoyed the Slanted House!

My husband and I really enjoyed our overnight stay at The Slanted House. The place was clean, comfortable and full of small touches that made our stay nicer (thanks for stocking the house with coffee!). The location of the slanted house is also great and is very close to many restaurants and shops in Covington. We went to the Savannah Bananas game during our stay and it was very convenient to catch the Southbank shuttle (2 pp) to the stadium. Also, we met our host Vicky and her Mom on the last day. Thanks for the nice conversation and restaurant recommendations, Otto's was great for brunch!
