❖──────❖ Things to Know Before Booking

▪︎ Our home is located in a genuine city neighborhood—diverse, eclectic, and full of everyday life. It’s part of what makes staying here feel so authentic and connected to the community.

▪︎ Our home is conveniently located right next to a gas station and market—perfect for late-night snacks, drinks, or a quick fuel-up. Like any busy spot in the city, you may occasionally hear music, trucks, or deliveries, but most guests find the tradeoff well worth the convenience.

▪︎ Alexa can play soothing sleep sounds or soft music to help you drift off, even with the lively city just outside.

▪︎ Our spaces are in two-family homes, so neighbors may be just on the other side of a wall or window. Please respect quiet hours after 11 PM, keep outdoor gatherings low-key, and use shared spaces with courtesy. A little consideration goes a long way to making everyone’s stay enjoyable.

▪︎ No unregistered guests or visitors are allowed on the property at any time, even if they are not staying overnight. For safety, licensing, and policy compliance, everyone must be included in the reservation. Failure to register the correct number of guests will result in the entire group being asked to leave without refund. Maximum occupancy is 6 guests.

This is the third property of Vicky's that I've stayed at and I've always loved my stay. The property is easy to get to, and super close to Cincinnati without being in the middle of the city. This host goes above and beyond for guests with complimentary coffee and small snacks. This particular rental also had a game of finding small soldiers and hiding them again, which my daughter loved. The theming is great but my daughter wanted to stay on the sleeper sofa cause there's a TV in that room. I loved the retro room, as it reminds me of my childhood. We always love our stay and will book again on our next trip to Cincy.
Retro room
I definitely had a phone like this!!!
Tetris. My favorite!
My daughter said the sleeper sofa was super comfy! The back also lays flat but she wanted it upright.

Tres House

We stayed at Tres House while visiting our UC student and spent most of the weekend exploring Covington on foot! The house is an easy walk to great restaurants and local shops, as well as riverfront parks. We enjoyed exploring the house and loved everything about the beautiful architecture, unique decor, artwork, and thoughtful touches (including snacks!) that added comfort to our visit. This is our second stay with the hosts and we were happy to have a chance to meet them in person this time around. We hope to be back many times!

"TRES" House!

Clean and comfortable, fun and interesting, three-story house. This home is one of very few who are pet friendly and do not limit guests to their dogs size. Very thankful for that. House was accommodating and very neat. The property owner was quick to respond, and kept us informed on things we needed to know during our stay (thank you Vicky). I would recommend this home to family and friends, and would certainly stay again. We enjoyed our visit to Cincinnati, and enjoyed this home a bunch.

Such a perfect girls night

The Tres home had everything. Most importantly, a big kitchen table for playing cards and doing a puzzle! The House Binder had so much great information, and we were able to enjoy Agave and Rye for dinner, a nearby Gelato shop lave for desert, and Roebling Point Books and Coffee the next morning with a nice walk through the historic district. The home itself was full of character and fun! You can tell the hosts care. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful, but unusual home

The house is beautiful and the owners have thought of everything. There were snacks in the living room and drinks in the fridge. Parking was easy and safe. Entrance was easy. The side yard is large and comfortable. The house is on a rather busy street so at night it was quite bright, even through the blinds. Both bedrooms are on the third floor, so lots of stairs.

Family vacay

Unique property! Only recommendations would be regarding cleanliness and bolt/lock safety; cobwebs over the front door, loose banister, uneven wood floors that may be an issue for children or those without shoes, second floor bathroom vent did not work, and side door entrance bolt only slightly inserted into the door frame. I would recommend a deep clean and repair of the door frame and assurance of the locking mechanism working as it should considering the area may not be the norm for out of town-ers.

Short Girls trip

We stayed here for a short girls trip and visit to Cincinnati. The house is very well cared for and furnished really well. You can tell they care a lot about the home and want to make peoples stays enjoyable. There are 3 floors, and the stairs are older, so if you have mobility issues its not for you. If you need some extra steps, then its your jam! The beds were very comfortable. The house is right next to a gas station, and it adds a little extra light and noise. They have provided ear plugs. Its a great location, we walked into downtown Covington and its a short drive to Cincinnati. In Covington there is a beautiful old cathedral that we never expected, so that was a fun find.

Tres House

We had a great stay at Tres house in Covington! We chose the location based on its proximity to the conference center and it was perfect being only about 2 blocks from the center. The house was well equipped and very well appointed. It was convenient to popular areas in town and easy access to Cincinattu as well. The house itself had a lot of character, with lots of interesting and artistic surprises throughout. Beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed it and plan on being back. The only things that I would note is that there is a lot of activity around. Liquor stores and a Circle K right next door so things can get a bit lively at times, but you are in a city and should expect that as part of the experience. Additionally, it is a three story house with steep stairs. The kitchen is on the first floor, bedrooms on 3rd with a great community room on 2nd. This was completely fine for us, but could be an issue if you had mobility issues. All said, we loved the place. It had a lot of character and was very comfortable. Hosts were great to deal with and check-in and check out was an easy process. We felt right at home staying there and appreciate the opportunity to do so!

Perfect for Families

Our family of 6 had the most amazing stay at the Tres House. Prior to our arrival working with the hosts was incredible, I had originally booked the home for 5 plus a pet. A week before our trip we decided to board our dog and add an extra kid. Vicki was accommodating and made the change quickly. The instructions for check in were incredibly detailed and left no questions unanswered. Once we arrived, we entered easily and were met with all the accommodations of home. First impressions as we walked in and through the house was it was very clean and well maintained, it was organized and had the cutest touches of decor that caught our eye in every room. As we got to the second floor we were met with music, they had left music playing, warm lighting on all floors and the temperature was perfect. It was incredibly cozy. We were visiting the home during Thanksgiving, grocery shopping was close and easily accessible. The home itself had nearly every cooking utensil we needed, plus a beautiful dining area for family meals. While in the area we visited the Cincinnati Zoo, Newport aquarium and a Cincinnati Bengals game. The home is perfectly located for all these activities, parking was off the street and there was absolutely no concerns with the neighborhood. The Bengals game was an easy 30 min walk which saved a lot of frustrations for parking. I would highly recommend this home and these hosts. Our family had the best time here and would come back in a heartbeat.

Love the Tres House!

We love staying at the Tres House and have for multiple years and are already looking forward to coming back. We come in for an annual conference, and the house could not be better situated. It is only a 5-minute walk to the conference center and convenient to neighborhoods with great bars and restaurants.Vicky and Doug do a fantastic job of making you feel comfortable and the house has the basics covered. They are excellent hosts! No crazy check in/ check out lists. Just noting that this is a city and that there is some "activity" in the neighborhood, but we always feel comfortable walking around at night. If someone is not used to city living, I can see that they would feel a bit out of their element, but security is good and the house is always well-lit. Like in any city in the world, just be aware of your surroundings. A quirky, well-appointed house that is well-taken care of in a great location. Great hosts. We will be back next year!

Perfect!

We were meeting some friends in the Cincinnati area to spend some time and celebrate a birthday and decided to look into a VRBO instead of hotel rooms where we would have to congregate in a common area with loddy doddy and everybody. I'm so glad we did. This place was perfect for us! Its so adorable and cozy! I don't know how many times one of us said, "OH, LOOK!" so make sure to take time to actually look at things.Vicky was very responsive and pays attention to detail. I will have no problem booking this property again!
