About this property

Private bungalow set in the forest

Quaint and comfortable mid-century Sears kit home (equipped with a spa) in a woodsy setting atop a hill near Mt. Airy forest on the outskirts of Northside with quick easy access to I-74/75 — 10 minute (or less) drive to almost anywhere in Cincinnati including downtown, OTR, Cincinnati Zoo, University of Cincinnati, Newport Aquarium, Northern Kentucky etc.
The space
One huge bedroom with queen bed and rocking chair including an attached + sized private back deck with 6 person spa, and second small bedroom with queen bed connected by jack and jill bathroom with claw foot tub, huge living room with large comfy couch and front porch access, newly renovated kitchen with gas stove and bar-style pass through dining area.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire home and expansive outdoor spaces, only excluding the basement and a couple locked closets.
Other things to note
To access the driveway up to the house stay right at the fork at the bottom of the hill and drive ALL THE WAY to the top. There is only space at the top for 3 vehicles max and please use caution because it can be a bit shifty to the inexperienced. Parking will only be available at the very top of the driveway. Please do not use the neighbors parking area below the house.

Spring break getaway

My friend and I brought young kids - age 4-11 to Cincinnati for 2 night stay during Spring Break. Great location to get to museums and local attractions. Kids enjoyed the wooded area around cabin to explore. They love the tree swing, hot tub, and outdoor fire pit. Highly recommended for families.

Hidden Gem

We live in the area but a 10 min drive to this destination made us feel like we were 100 miles away from everyone. The hot tub and claw foot tub were amazing as well as the fire pit. A true little sanctuary to reset and reboot. We will book again.

Not as private as advertised

Comfortable, and eclectic. The Jacuzzi was great and the kitchen was well equipped. Having the forest state park backdrop was very nice. The deck with the Jacuzzi is within full view of other neighbors which was disappointing for us who were expecting more privacy. The central air in the house is very noisy and ran all night long. We had to cover the vents in the bedroom to get it quiet enough. Additionally, the nearby highway runs traffic all day and night and is very disturbing at night. We like to see white towels and bedding at our stays to insure they have been adequately laundered however the ones supplied were various colors. While the jacuzzi was amazing I did have an ear infection after my stay

Perfect chill spot for after Christmas relaxing

Our second time staying at Adam's property, won't be our last. It's cozy with a chefs kitchen, outdoor areas, large yard, hot tub, and retro gaming for entertainment. Hosts are responsive and friendly, and it's up and away from the bustle and noise of the area, and it's a great location to reach everything in Cincy. Bring your own firewood to enjoy the fire pit. Thanks again for the stay!
