Wonderful!
The effort Vicky and her family expend on this property is evident. The house is sparkling clean, well-appointed, and the beds are really comfortable.The kitchen and a spacious bedroom are downstairs. A semi-spiral staircase leads to the upstairs bedroom, a living area with TV and plenty of board games, and the bathroom.This place is perfect for a Reds or Bengals game. My daughter and I took the Southside Shuttle bus to a Friday night baseball game. It was an easy ride and only cost 4 round trip. The next day we drove to the game, and that was easy too.I was surprised how easy it is to get from Covington to Cincinnati. Our visits to the zoo and sign museum were just a short drive away.Thanks, Vicky and Doug! The House of Liebe is a wonderful place.

Great!
We stayed here for a family trip to Cincinnati. Great location, easily walkable to the city and sites we wanted to go to. The kids loved the extras there like the spinning wheel and drawer of random things they could take :) Perfect for what we needed. We are from the Detroit area but if you have never lived near or traveled to a city center, the home is located off the main city area behind a gas station with a homeless population. We had zero issues with this and did not feel “unsafe”, only mentioning this so you’re aware, especially if you’re not from areas like this. We had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this location or stay again.

Good location, overbearing host
Location was great for the reason for our stay. We were in town for our wedding celebration - our place of stay should have been the last thing we would need to worry about, however, it was the most stressful part of the weekend. We received multiple, long messages reiterating the same “rules” throughout our stay. We had to get it “approved” for two individuals to come by for 2 hours to do our hair and makeup. Having a few out of town family members stop by to drop off a wedding gift was not allowed because we couldn’t have “visitors” enter the home. Felt as if every move we made had to be approved by the hosts. We were even told how to park our cars. We felt uncomfortable sitting in the courtyard because we felt we were being watched by the multiple cameras. Seems like maybe this host has been burned in the past, but that shouldn’t be held against new guests. The home itself was nice, spacious, and had a lot of character.

Quaint Covington retreat
The property was just as described and was perfect for our weekend getaway with friends to Cincinnati. It located close to the restaurant, bars and other attractions. We loved finishing our day with sitting by the fire ring and relaxing. Host was response to any questions and checked in to make sure everything was going well.

Covington
Our stay was very comfortable. First time travelling with our 15 year old small dog. She had a secure side yard for potty breaks and we loved having coffee/reading beneath a shade tree. Loved the location for walking to restaurants. Try the Bahn Mi at The Standard, a tenth of a mile away. Grabbed a slice of pizza on Mainstrasse mid day after visiting Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park. Headed the opposite way for a brunch and then Korean food. Vicky was on property within 5 when we had initial access glitch. Museums were a quick and easy drive over the bridge. Devou Park was a quick drive up the hill and a beautiful location to overlook Cincinnati with a children’s park and hikes Vicky was insight within minutes when we had an entry glitch. She was very personable and helpful. She has so many family fun activities that we’d love a return trip with grandchildren.

Unique home situated close to sporting events
We came down for a Bengals game and were looking for somewhere close to stay, this house checked the box. It was close to the game and to our favorite breweries, one being Braxton which was within walking distance but we didn’t walk. The Circle K next door seemed a little sketch so we chose to drive to things in the area vs walk. Parking was tight but we were very thankful that the house had its own parking. Guests were staying in the attached rental but we didn’t really notice them which was impressive for such an old home. The binder with the house rules also contained lots of information about the area, restaurants, etc which was super helpful.
