Central 3BR Home w/ Game Room & Spacious Backyard
We absolutely loved our stay at Molly’s place!! Very well priced, lots of fun games for the family that kept everyone busy when we were at the Airbnb, very clean and within a good distance from great attractions. We came to see the Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, and Newport Aquarium over a short spring break trip with our five kids! Loved being able to easily get to all we wanted to see! 5/5 stars!! If we are back in the area, we will be staying again!

Upscale 5 Star Home For Families or Business Trips
The house was amazing the host was very accommodating to our needs, felt like home, very quick to response to our needs and very helpful

★Gray Whale, huge 6BR 3 miles to Cincy sleeps 16
We had a lovely stay! The hosts are great at communicating, and the house was perfect for our large group!

Unique Stay - Hot Tub, Home Office & Fenced Yard!
The house was exactly as described. It rained the entire weekend so we didn't get to use the hot tub, which was the reason we paid more for this place. At no fault of the host of course. Overall a great stay!

Spacious home with lots of family entertainment
This is the second time staying in Sara‘s place. Honestly I will never stay anywhere else when visiting the Hebron/Florence area. Her home is so well appointed and so clean and taken care of it truly has become our home away from home when visiting family here. It is definitely worth the money to stay in this beautiful home. I highly recommend it.

Huge 2 Bedroom House in the Heart of Northside!
Super comfy stay. We loved the vibe of the house and super loved the back yard!

Modern Downtown/OTR Condo Near Everything
This place was great and the owner, Danny was so nice! This room is very spacious and in convenient location. Highly recommended!

Downtown Luxury! Renovated 2 bedroom,Free Parking!
This was the perfect place to stay for a night and enjoy the Cincinnati stop of our road trip. Mike was very responsive. The parking garage attendants were very friendly as well and pointed us in the direction of the Mike’s place.

Sunny OTR/Findlay Market Condo
Booked this for a girls weekend recently. This place was even better than we had imagined. The pictures don’t even do it justice and the location doesn’t get much better in this city— right on the Findlay market! Would recommend this place 100x over and now I’m looking for another excuse to stay in one of her BnBs!

PERFECT Condo Downtown Next to the Hard Rock!
It’s a great place for a couple who is looking to explore the restaurants and nightlife of downtown Cincinnati. We walked to the Taft Theatre and the places we ate and rank at were so close. We parked on the street and paid the meter by their app; $6 got us through the end of the afternoon when we checked in til 8am, then I woke up at 8 and extended our time for $3. We felt very safe, and the whole building is very nice not to mention Will’s condo. We’ll definitely stay there again!

Walnut Condo.Best Location in the City. 2bed/2bath
My wife and our two friends were in town for a two night concert at the Andrew Brady music center. Kristopher’s place is a fantastic location for anything downtown. What we loved: I love that the grocery store is across the street. We parked in the garage above Kroger ($22/night was a little expensive but worth it for us, and there are plenty of other options). We all loved the massive windows in the living room. Having two separate bathrooms is great (and they’re clean, modern, stylish, comfortable bathrooms). Getting in and out of the building is quick and easy- just a code to get in from the sidewalk, then a lockbox key to use on the apartment door. Because it’s across the street from the new Kroger grocery store, be prepared for a lot of foot traffic (if you’re sensitive to that). The two beds aren’t the most comfortable I’ve ever stayed in but ok. Overall a great stay, thanks for having us- it’s a beautiful space!

Brand New Condo in Heart of OTR, Parking Included!
Justin is a super host for a reason and his unit is prefect! This is not the first time I’ve rented from him and it wont be the last. I’ve never been disappointed.

2 BR High End Condo in Amazing OTR w/Free Parking
Great place to stay for any activities in or around Cincinnati. Super convenient to the free Connector system and located in a neat part of town in Over-The-Rhine. The provided parking space in the Washington Park garage was just a couple minute walk from the condo. The condo itself was comfortable and well supplied and worked great for us as a base for visiting the wonderful Cincinnati Zoo and taking in a Reds game. Would definitely stay here again.

Condo/EdenPark/Downtown/FCC/Reds/Bengals/Hospitals
This was our second stay at Emily’s place and it was absolutely perfect again! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay -including snacks in the kitchen! How thoughtful! Emily was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making check-in and communication easy. The location was ideal, with easy access to downtown and expressways. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone visiting Cincinnati and can't wait to return!

Pastel Paradise - Adorable Covington Apartment
Great location! Staying at the Pastel Paradise was the best decision we made for our weekend in Cincinnati! The host gave very clear instructions for parking and entry. Within a short walk were many choices of restaurants and coffee shops. I wish we had more time to explore. We had everything we needed in our airbnb and it was comfortable and felt like home! Should we come to the city again, we would pick this place without hesitation. I especially liked the link to their website that had suggestions of local excursions we could search out ourselves. Thank you for a great stay!

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.
