Sleek Urban Oasis | Steps to OTR & Downtown!
A very clean place in an excellent location in walkable downtown Cinncinatti. Grocery and restaurants in easy walking distance. Nice to walk to the ballpark and not deal with traffic. Host very responsive.

Warren, 1 Bedroom Unit near Xavier, Downtown
I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Cincinnati! From the moment I arrived, everything was spotless and well-prepared. The highlight for me was definitely the bed — it was extremely comfortable, with soft pillows that made it hard to get up in the morning. It truly felt like sleeping in a cloud after a long day of exploring the city. The host was responsive and kind, and the location was convenient to local restaurants and attractions. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, restful place to stay in Cincinnati.

ReDefined Stay in OTR Cincinnati "Entire House"
The place was very cozy, it felt like home. My children were very pleased.

[Location + Luxury] - Downtown Condo
Ryan’s place was exactly as described. His instructions are very clear and even included pictures of how to get to his unit from the street. As others have mentioned, the stairs to the unit are steep, so be prepared for that, but they didn’t bother us. The location is great for those wanted to see a game or go to OTR, but it’s in the middle of the city so they are some interesting characters walking around at times. We never felt unsafe and the unit is good with keeping out city noise. We would definitely stay here again.

♥Historic Home on KY Bourbon Trail!♥Mins 2 Cincy!♥
the home was absolutely beautiful and sooo comfy. felt like my own home away from home. and there was so many places near by to check out, restaurants close by. me and my girlfriend would love to come back some day. jordan was an amazing host, very sweet and attentive ♥️

Charming 2BR/2BA with King Suite & Coffee Bar
We stayed in this historic-but-recently-renovated home for a week, and couldn’t have picked a better place. We lived in the neighborhood for 15 years and it was wonderful to see how it’s come up with new dining, shopping, and walkability (new cross walks and pedestrian signals, etc). The home was exceedingly well appointed we thought — multiple types of coffee makers for whatever your morning preference, large golf umbrellas for the occasional rain shower, incredibly fluffy bathrobe and towels (including ample black makeup towels), and more. Because it was our first time back in town in awhile, we hosted a different couple of friends each night, and it was the perfect home-away-from-home for small / intimate entertaining. The deep bathtub was appreciated, as I take nightly Epsom salt baths. Fixtures and decor are strictly builder grade, but everything is thoughtfully designed and arranged. I worked full time remotely while there, and Internet speed and space setup were a breeze.

Historic Apt #2 near Downtown
Charming neighborhood and beautifully decorated place. I only wish I hadn’t had so much to carry in since it was second floor walk up— only because I had dogs with me and their stuff too. We only stayed the night on our way to final destination though would stay again if we had plans in the area.

Riverside Hideaway with Ohio River & City Views
I had a great peaceful stay and the balcony was so lovely.. sat there reading and watching the ball players at the park. There is a great cafe up the road called Fultons and a few other places to check out. Great cozy place

Historic Mt. Adams Townhome + River View + Parking
Beautiful home in Mt Adam’s really gives you a feel for the neighborhood and close to shops. Meticulously clean and everything is high quality. Each bedroom is on its own floor- me on the second and one on the third- which may be a concern for folks with mobility issues or those with littles- but for a it was a great way to maintain privacy. Would absolutely stay here again!

Nature Spa House | Hot Tub, Sauna, Pool, Relax
The Nature Spa was great. The pool, hot tub and game room were huge hits with grandsons. The movie theater pit the icing on the cake. The master suit is awesome. Was very easy to find and has beautiful view of pond while sitting the deck while having coffee. Thank you again.

Main St | Loft w/ Rooftop Patio | Secure Parking
Sid was very responsive to all messages and we were able to get right in. Secure parking was easy and walkable to OTR and downtown spots. Wouldn't hesitate to book in a second next time we are in town.

Private Apt. in Historic Home - Near UC, Hospitals
A unique stay! The ladder up to the bed area won’t be for everyone, but I found getting to tuck myself away at night to be a charming feature. Almost like a treehouse. The hosts are nice and I appreciated the off street parking. It was also just a great to have a quiet place with fast and reliable internet to get work done.

Eric & Jason’s 1st Floor Clifton Gaslight Apt
We lived our short stay here and would definitely book again. We loved the house and how beautiful it all was. We were very comfortable the entire time. Thank you!

Secluded Bungalow 10 Mins to Downtown: The Hill
The place was exactly as described, it was both quick drive to downtown while also being quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was awesome, we only used it a little but it was fully stocked and has anything you would need if you were planning on making food there. The hot tub and the fire pit were a really nice feature as well, I will definitely be recommending this place to others.

Best-of-the-Best in OTR, FREE Parking!
If you are looking for a great place to stay in Over The Rhine in Cincinnati, this is the one for you. Looks like it had been newly renovated, and matched the photos on the site. we were in town for a concert at Memorial Hall for two nights, and had a great stay. The kitchen was well appointed and the location was walk-able. The view from our window was amazing! Thanks for all of your hospitality, Jason (and your team)

Your guide to Cincinnati
All About Cincinnati
Ask a local what’s best about Cincinnati and they may mention their beloved baseball heroes, authentic Cincinnati chili, or goetta sausage in the bustling Over-the-Rhine (OTR) district. Or, they could suggest you delve into the city’s past along the Brewing Heritage Trail, or on one of the iconic steamer riverboats that cruise up and down the Ohio River, which runs through the city’s center.
History is also on display in Cincinnati’s thriving art and design scene. The Cincinnati Art Museum, which holds tens of thousands of artworks, dates back to 1886. The Taft Museum of Art, housed in one of the city’s oldest wooden residences, opened in 1820 and remains a National Historic Landmark. The Contemporary Art Center has supported numerous world-renowned artists early in their careers, and also offers a genre-spanning performing arts program. Walk around downtown Cincinnati and you’ll notice numerous examples of Art Deco architecture, with buildings like Union Terminal and Carew Tower defining the skyline.
Cincinnati is also home to several parks and botanical gardens, and you can head outside the city for a hike at one of the many state parks and nature reserves in the surrounding area.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cincinnati
Cincinnati experiences all four seasons with gusto. Summer brings high temperatures — and football and baseball seasons that are in full swing. Dining outside is the norm at this time of year, and the river is teeming with activity. Vacation rentals in Cincinnati are popular in the fall because of the wealth of festivals in the city, including Oktoberfest Zinzinnati at Findlay Market and the city’s many incarnations of Fall Fest with events that pop up all over town. Come in the winter and you’ll find very cold temperatures, snow, and Fountain Square turned into an ice rink. Spring brings a return to warmer temperatures, the annual beer festival, and the city’s biggest and most famous event — the opening of the baseball season.
Top things to do in Cincinnati
Markets
Markets are institutions in Cincinnati, and you can pick up handmade goods and vintage wares at various locations around town. The 30-year-old Peddler’s flea market is open daily and extends both indoors and outdoors with more than 300 stalls of bric-a-brac and second-hand treasures. Findlay Market, which dates back to the 19th century, is a collection of farm stalls selling fresh produce, homemade cakes, craft beers and spirits, and artisan foods and flowers.
Mt. Airy Forest
Around a 20-minute drive north of downtown, this pocket of wilderness and its network of short trails are easily accessible. Keep an eye out for mountain bikers and horseback riders as you explore almost 1,500 acres of park — Cincinnati’s largest — then settle down for a picnic surrounded by magnolias and lilacs. You can even fire up one of the on-site grills.
Cincinnati Museum Center
Housed inside the imposing Art Deco train station Union Terminal, which is a sight to behold in itself, the Cincinnati Museum Center takes the concept of museum-hopping to a new level. Explore the interactive, scaled-down town at the Children’s Museum, get a taste of the past at a recreated 19th-century exhibit at the History Museum, and launch an intergalactic experience in the Neil Armstrong Space Exploration Gallery at the Museum of National History and Science, all just steps from one another.
