Hosted by Preston Trusted Host

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

What people notice first

  • Self check-in, any hour

    A smart-lock keypad on the front door and on each unit. Arrive on your own schedule.

  • The whole house, only your group

    Three private units off one grand foyer — each with its own kitchen, living room, and bathrooms.

  • Five minutes to downtown

    Paycor Stadium, Great American Ball Park, and Over-the-Rhine are a short drive, not a day trip.

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 group trips
  • Work retreats

The space

Situated in the historic neighborhood of Walnut Hills, you are conveniently located minutes from top Cincinnati wedding venues in Walnut Hills, Over-the-Rhine, Downtown, and Northern Kentucky.

Guests have full access to the entire house via a smart lock keypad — all three units and the outdoor area.

The artwork throughout the house was painted by my mother. You will see her signature, J Preston Oglesbee, on the pieces as you go.

Other things to note

Like many Cincinnati properties, ours is at the top of a hill. It is 26 steps from the street up to the front door, and there are interior steps to get to the second and third floors. There is no wheelchair ramp. This home is not the best fit for those with mobility issues — if anyone in your group has trouble with stairs, put them in the first-floor unit.

Need space for an even larger group? We own two other houses walking distance away — you will find both further down this page, or just call or text me and I will sort it out.

What Guests Say

4.99★ across 80 reviews.

Real reviews from people who booked this house. Nothing here is edited except to trim length, and a … marks anywhere I did.

We had a wonderful time staying here! There was plenty of space for people to spread out between the three units with each having their own living rooms and kitchens.

Jennifer · Jul 2026 · via Airbnb

We had a group of 12 friends book the whole house and it couldn't have been more perfect. Stunning features, very clean & comfortable, and so much space! The kitchens and bathrooms had lots of amenities.

Jennifer · Jun 2026 · via Airbnb

Great place for a large group in Cincy. It is central to most of the downtown area. We had a group of 25 and slept comfortably.

Chase · Mar 2026 · via Airbnb

Myself and my co-workers were in Cincinnati for a 3 day conference. We were looking for somewhere that we could all stay together but also have space. Preston's home was perfect for that!

Jess · Mar 2026 · via Airbnb

This house was a wonderful place for our large family gathering. There are both communal areas to socialize and places to get away and rest. … Having a space large enough for all the family made our daughter's wedding weekend even more special.

Kathryn · Sep 2025 · via Airbnb

Beautiful and spacious historic home. Loved the floors and woodwork. Charming. Many areas to gather. Spacious bedrooms. Warm and inviting. … Loved the personal touch of the owner/paintings.

Things to Know

The practical stuff, up front.

House rules

  • Check-in 4:00 PM · check-out 11:00 AM
  • Earlier check-in — as early as noon — when nobody checks out that morning
  • No pets
  • Smoke-free inside the building
  • No outside guests and no events — registered overnight guests plus vendors you need, like a photographer or hair and makeup
  • Quiet hours 10:00 PM – 8:00 AM, especially outdoors
  • Lock the unit doors and the front door when you head out

Safety & accessibility

  • Outdoor security cameras on the exterior of the building. None inside, ever.
  • Smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors, fire extinguisher, and a first-aid kit in each unit
  • 26 steps from the street up to the front door, and no wheelchair ramp — this is an 1895 house on a hill, and I would rather tell you now than have you find out on arrival
  • Interior stairs to the second and third floors. Anyone who struggles with stairs should take the first-floor unit.
  • Stair gates available if you are travelling with little ones

Cancellation

  • Cancel within 48 hours of booking and you get everything back — as long as you booked at least 14 days before check-in.
  • After that, cancel at least 7 days before check-in and 50% of the accommodation total is refundable; cleaning fees and taxes are refunded in the same proportion.
  • On a partial refund, Hospitable retains the guest service fee. A full refund includes that fee.
  • Inside 7 days of check-in the booking is non-refundable.
  • These are the exact terms checkout shows you before you pay. If your plans are genuinely uncertain, call or text me before you book and we'll talk it through.
