❖──────❖ Things to Know Before Booking

▪︎ Our home is located in a genuine city neighborhood—diverse, eclectic, and full of everyday life. It’s part of what makes staying here feel so authentic and connected to the community.

▪︎ Our home is conveniently located right next to a gas station and market—perfect for late-night snacks, drinks, or a quick fuel-up. Like any busy spot in the city, you may occasionally hear music, trucks, or deliveries, but most guests find the tradeoff well worth the convenience.

▪︎ Alexa can play soothing sleep sounds or soft music to help you drift off, even with the lively city just outside.

▪︎ 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, licensing, and policy 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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. A Smart television with Netflix is provided, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.

What an exciting place with all kinds of unique items to check out. When we arrived we had a scavenger hunt for the army men that kept my grandson busy while we unpacked. All supplies were there and extra for us. We were close to Aquarium and concert venue. We had our two dogs and enjoyed the fenced in back yard and alley. The unit was very clean and did well for our family! Thank you!!

This is the third property of Vicky's that I've stayed at and I've always loved my stay. The property is easy to get to, and super close to Cincinnati without being in the middle of the city. This host goes above and beyond for guests with complimentary coffee and small snacks. This particular rental also had a game of finding small soldiers and hiding them again, which my daughter loved. The theming is great but my daughter wanted to stay on the sleeper sofa cause there's a TV in that room. I loved the retro room, as it reminds me of my childhood. We always love our stay and will book again on our next trip to Cincy.
Retro room
I definitely had a phone like this!!!
Tetris. My favorite!
My daughter said the sleeper sofa was super comfy! The back also lays flat but she wanted it upright.

Had a few friends from out of town come to visit for a birthday brewery hop and landed on this property. This home was charming, full of character, and very well kept. The proximity to downtown Cincinnati was super convenient and the stay was priced much better than anything in Cincinnati proper.

Love the Tres House!

We love staying at the Tres House and have for multiple years and are already looking forward to coming back. We come in for an annual conference, and the house could not be better situated. It is only a 5-minute walk to the conference center and convenient to neighborhoods with great bars and restaurants.Vicky and Doug do a fantastic job of making you feel comfortable and the house has the basics covered. They are excellent hosts! No crazy check in/ check out lists. Just noting that this is a city and that there is some "activity" in the neighborhood, but we always feel comfortable walking around at night. If someone is not used to city living, I can see that they would feel a bit out of their element, but security is good and the house is always well-lit. Like in any city in the world, just be aware of your surroundings. A quirky, well-appointed house that is well-taken care of in a great location. Great hosts. We will be back next year!

Perfect!

We were meeting some friends in the Cincinnati area to spend some time and celebrate a birthday and decided to look into a VRBO instead of hotel rooms where we would have to congregate in a common area with loddy doddy and everybody. I'm so glad we did. This place was perfect for us! Its so adorable and cozy! I don't know how many times one of us said, "OH, LOOK!" so make sure to take time to actually look at things.Vicky was very responsive and pays attention to detail. I will have no problem booking this property again!
