About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Convent

Built in 1887, this former convent has been beautifully renovated to create a unique getaway featuring exposed brick, beautiful hardwood floors, 11-ft ceilings on the ground floor, and an abundance of natural light. This house is huge, with 5,400 square feet of living space for your group to enjoy! All bedrooms have queen beds, sitting areas, light-blocking curtains or blinds, and double-paned windows to maintain a quiet and peaceful environment for you. You'll get a great night's sleep!

The space
Each of the three floors has its own new, efficient, and independent heating/cooling system, and the temperature in every bedroom can be adjusted to the preferences of individual guests.

With two large dining rooms and a fully-equipped kitchen, including commercial-grade and artisan coffee supplies, the Convent is perfect for your group.

No parties, please!

Guest access
You'll be able to access the entire house except for a one bed, one bath apartment hidden away on the main floor, which has its own separate entrance and will be vacant during your stay unless you'd like access to it (available for an additional charge of $50 per night).

Other things to note
We share an unfenced backyard and courtyard with the owners of a former Catholic rectory and with some urban farmers who tend parts of the yard. They’re all dear friends and if you're interested you can get breakfast made with fresh eggs and vegetables from the urban farm at For the Life of the World Café a block away! You’re nestled in the heart of a close-knit community of 100+ people, so it's not unusual to see a few people using the yard.

A great space for a retreat for a small group

This place is amazing. An expertly equipped kitchen with sharp knives, great pans, plenty of glasses and silverware for our group of 11. Lots of cozy sitting areas and separate sleeping spaces in the 3-level house, located in a real homey neighborhood close to shopping, restaurants and green spaces. Comfy beds, beautiful floors and a rich sense of history! Owner was very responsive to our questions.

Fabulous!! A very special place!

The Convent is unique and so well-suited to a group or family gathering! The inside with it's brick, pine floors and original woodwork is stunning. The decor is simple and elegant and the bedrooms/beds very comfortable and roomy! And Greg (the host) was very responsive and helpful! I can't say enough about how well he communicated and addressed a couple minor issues we had - he was the perfect host!

We had 13 out of town guests ages 5-75 who shared lodging at The Convent. It was immaculate, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with 2 ovens and 2 refrigerators. We used them all as well as ample counter space for meal prep. Our family loved the location close to the zoo and Reds stadium. Host Greg was exceptional, easy to contact before, during and after our stay. I give The Convent my highest recommendation!

Great property for large group!

12 of us stayed at the Covenant for our daughter’s wedding in Cincinnati. This was a great space with lots of room for cooking, eating , socializing and sleeping. There was plenty of dishes and linens and each room had its own heating/cooling and fans. The rooms were surprisingly quiet! It was great to have everyone under one roof and watching the hawks and their fledglings in the back yard was a bonus! The host was great, we would definitely recommend and stay at this property again!

Beautifully restored and spacious!

We used every room in the beautifully restored Convent for 3 nights and loved every minute! The rooms were all large and each one had its own a.c./heating unit on its own thermostat which was very convenient. The 2nd floor had 3 shared bathrooms for the 5 rooms on that level, so it was never a problem with waiting. We would definitely come back here again!

My large family and friend group stayed at The Convent for a wedding. It was the perfect home base for all our wedding preparations! We had lots of room for floral arranging, group meals, relaxing and catching up. The bedrooms were very spacious, and the young adults enjoyed their loft area on the third floor. Greg, the owner, was very accommodating about checkin/out times and was great with communication. The neighborhood was quiet, and we enjoyed watching the adorable preschoolers next door while they tended to their chickens out back! Easy highway access was a big plus. Definitely an older building with work still in progress, but we could tell it was being lovingly restored and was so beautiful and full of light. Great stay, and would definitely stay again!

Fun weekend getaway!

We had our joint bachelor/bachelorette party in Cincy and stayed at this awesome house! There were five couples and we all fit comfortably! We loved the uniqueness of the house and location was perfect because most of our activities happed in Over-the-Rhine. Which was a quick 8 min Uber. Plenty of different large spaces throughout the house for our large group to hang out. The manager of the house was a great communicator as well. We all loved the house and would certainly stay again!
