Girls trip

We loved our stay at the house!It was less than 15 minutes from any activity or restaurant that we chose. Clean and beautifully decorated. We loved that everyone had their own area. The stairs could be tricky for very little ones or older adults but our group (including 5 year olds) did fine with them. We would definitely stay again!

Awesome Experience!

We had 12 family members travel to Cincinnati for a wedding. This home was the prefect lodging for the group. The home was beautiful and clean. We loved the artwork throughout the property and realized the host had painted the majority of them! We needed blankets for a couple of our older family members and host reacted immediately, ordered blankets on Amazon and had them delivered to the property. We would highly recommend this home and would stay there again for sure.

Wedding weekend stay

We couldn't be happier with Preston and the listing! There was plenty of space for our group of four families (total of 18.) The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the common rooms were perfect for hanging out. Thank you for providing a great stay.

City Big Blue House

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. We were a little hesitant at first beacuse we had to park our cars on the street. After day one, we felt safe and really enjoyed the fact that everyone had their own mini condos.

Perfect for groups!!

This property is exactly how it is listed! The separation of 3 apartments makes it a super unique stay for those who want to be together, yet separate. Preston also replied within the hour to an issue we had with an appliance and had someone out the next morning to fix it! Definitely a beautiful home and we will be using it again when we are back in town

Unique property perfect for big groups

This property was perfect for my friends and I. The 3 separate but connecting condos are great because it allows for gathering and also space if needed! The finishings/decor of the house is exactly as pictured. We really enjoyed our time here and would recommend to anyone traveling into town with a large group!

One of the best!

I have stayed at a lot of VRBO and this was one the top 3-4 by far. The photos were on point. Preston was great to work with! We actually rented two of his houses during our stay. It was perfect for our team and staff because we each had a house. There were a few minor things, like no AC or running out of TP, but we would 10000% stay there again. And it wasn’t until the day we left that I realized he had painted all the artwork. Great location - close to downtown. Book it!!

Very clean

Our stay was wonderful and the owner was very helpful with suggestions of where to get groceries. I highly recommend this house. The only drawback would be the stairs for older people. 7 minutes from downtown. We enjoyed Noah’s Ark and the Creation Museum along with William Howard Taft’s boyhood home while we were there.

Amazing experience! Great location. Great house. Great property manager.

We honestly could not have expected anything more or anything better with this experience. The house layout is perfect for those who want to get her together, or who need a bit of privacy with the 3 units across each of the well thought out levels. Also, conveniently located for fun in the city, and close to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter attractions. What a blessing this trip was for all 3 families during our vacation.

Great Property & Neighborhood

We were in for a family wedding. We needed a multi-bedroom and bath property and this one was perfect. There are 3 individual units with plenty of beds and bathrooms. It gave us a great area to all converge in and eat and socialize but also gave us our individual space. Host was so responsive and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The property is in the Walnut Hills are in Cincinnati and close to so many parks, downtown, the river, etc. Love our time there!!!

Great house and location

12 adults in 5 bedroom, 5 bath house, can you believe it? The owners did a great job updating this Walnut Hills located home. We could gather in one space or split up as needed. We even had some local family members join us on Saturday. The house has everything you need and anything you want is close by. Enjoy!

Daughter’s Wedding

We stayed here during our daughter’s wedding. The property is ideally set up to accommodate a wedding party. There are 3 units. The bridal party stayed in the two upstairs units and my wife and I had the downstairs unit. We couldn’t have had a better experience. The units are clean and accurately depicted in the listing. The check in process was seamless and communication with the owners was good. Our family rented out the owners other properties (Cincy Historic Gem next door and Renovated Victorian all owned by Preston Oglesbee). Much less expensive than hotel rooms and everyone was able to spend more time together. I highly recommend for large families.

Family Reunion at the Opera

We had a multi-generational group of 12 gathering from around the country to attend our daughter's opera performance at CCM. The house was perfectly suited to our purposes -- enough room for everyone to have a comfy bed & privacy when they needed it, plus gathering spaces that accommodated different configurations of an extended family's comings and goings over the long weekend. The historic house has been beautifully updated and thoughtfully appointed -- and we particularly appreciated the original art on the walls! The neighborhood is pleasant and convenient, with great rambling opportunities nearby in Eden Park. Preston is a very gracious host; his communication is prompt, clear and helpful. We were delighted with our stay and would recommend it to anyone!

Cincy Wedding, TX Family

My son was getting married and our extended family lives in TX. We wanted to stay together and this property was perfect for us. It is three separate units, but easy to convene together in the larger space. So my parents and sister's family were able to stay in the lower level. My brother's family had a unit. And my adult children/friends, etc were able to stay in the third unit. All together we were 17 people. Each unit had an air mattress for additional bedding. There was a pack 'n play, highchair and baby gate available to us. Each unit supplied basic needs, like K-cups, sugar, S&P, trash bags, dish soaps, bath soaps/shampoos, etc. The units were very well stocked with utensils, cooking items, extra sheets and towels. The outdoor grill performed very nicely. The units are air conditioned and box fans, if needed, were also available. The location of the house felt very safe and quiet. It was easily accessible to any location of Cincinnati you would need to get to/from. As various family members arrived, we had up to 7 cars, and never had trouble finding parking along the street. Any time I had questions prior to the booking, Preston was very timely in a reply and he tried to make sure he could accommodate our requests. An added bonus, is the wonderful artwork painted by him too!! This is a quiet neighborhood and parties are not allowed. We did have a Father's Day BBQ and should not have popped up a canopy as that attracted a "party" appearance. While Preston was reasonable, it is something to be sensitive with this location. Otherwise, we were a large group and felt very comfortable in the location and the house itself. It is clear that the owners care about their property and their guests. I would definitely recommend the property and the owner if you are looking to stay in Cincy.

About the host

Hosted by Preston Oglesbee

Hi! My name is Preston, and I'm originally from Columbus, OH. I moved to Cincinnati in 2016 to be with my now wife, Kate, who works for P&G. In 2018 I quit my "9 to 5" to pursue my passion of real estate. I love to bring new life to old houses, and spend a lot of my time renovating homes.

When we're not working, we love to explore (and eat) our way around the city. Whether it's walking our dog around Eden Park or to Fireside Pizza, or taking a quick Uber downtown, there is always something fun to do in this city.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions before your stay so you can get the most out of your Cincinnati experience!

Why they chose this property
