I'm Preston. My family owns and looks after this house — we did the renovation ourselves. I answer my own phone, and I'm reachable the whole time you're here.

About this house
We designed this house for large groups that want to travel together, but still may want their own space too.
Perfect for
- Wedding groups and bachelorette parties
- Large extended family vacations
- Church and school trips
- Work retreats
The space
The house is split into two private apartments. Each one has its own entrance, its own kitchen, its own living space, and its own bathrooms — so a group of twenty can be under one roof without being on top of each other. Self check-in with smart lock keypads makes arrivals easy.
Situated in the historic neighborhood of East Walnut Hills, you are minutes from top Cincinnati wedding venues in Walnut Hills, Over-the-Rhine, Downtown, and Northern Kentucky.
Guests have full access to both apartments, the outdoor area, and the driveway.
Other things to note
There are a few exterior steps at the doors and interior stairs between floors.

What Guests Say
4.98★ across 90 reviews.
Real reviews from people who booked this house. Nothing here is edited except to trim length, and a … marks anywhere I did.
We rented out both condos and this was perfect for my best friend's bachelorette party. It was such a quiet area. The units were perfect for our group. The Cincinnati greenery wall was a major hit before going out every night!
My extended family stayed in Preston's home while in town for a wedding. The location was perfect, the home was beautiful and comfortable, the main floor unit was great for my grandmother. We very much appreciated the simple things like baby gates for my 11 month old, hangers in the closets, coffee for my MIL … not a detail was missed.
This was the perfect spot for our family to stay while visiting extended family. Off street parking, clean, comfortable bedding and furniture, well decorated, all the amenities, and in an area that made getting places simple.
I love this place! It's my second time hosting a retreat here with a small group and it's the most inspiring, clean, spacious, and accommodating space!
Such a great house and host! My wedding party stayed here and it was perfect for getting ready! During the day of the wedding, we kept the boys in the back unit and it was perfect!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Rental was very clean, quiet, and large! Had everything we needed for the week, we loved the communication with the host, and super easy check in instructions.
