✪ 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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

This was our first stay at the House of Liebe, having stayed at two other properties from the same owner. All of the properties were excellent, but this was our favorite so far. It is a large space with plenty of room, and the hosts decorate all of their properties in a fun, quirky way. The properties are always clean and inviting. Highly recommended.

This was our 5th stay at one of Vicky and Doug's properties and our 3rd stay at House of Liebe. And the name says it all because we LOVE staying here! It's always clean and comfortable. It's right next to a Circle K so if you want a snack or something you can just walk right over. Easy peasy. The little village nearby is adorable as well. There's also a pizza place nearby (La Rosa's) that our kids love. It's a short drive to Cincinnati and we love staying here for concerts at Riverbend. We also went to King's Island this visit which is a short 30 minute drive from the property. Vicky is always very responsive if there are any issues. Will continue to book with these wonderful people every time we visit the area!

Quirky is the perfect way to describe this property—everywhere you look, there’s something interesting and unique to see. It was clean, comfortable, and inviting.We especially enjoyed the large kitchen area, which became our main gathering space for sitting and chatting. The only slightly awkward aspect was needing to go up the narrow, winding stairs to use the living room—especially when carrying snacks or drinks. It did make us wonder about the layout, as the bedroom is downstairs with the kitchen while the living room is upstairs. I’m sure there’s a reason for it, and honestly, it wasn’t a big issue since the kitchen provided plenty of space for relaxing together. Just a bit unconventional, but completely manageable for an overnight stay.Vickie, the host, was very friendly and responsive. She also offered helpful dining recommendations, and there’s a binder at the property with plenty of additional options.Overall, it was a great place to stay.
