Overview

The renovated kitchen has a gas stove and bar-style pass-through dining area, and listed amenities include a microwave, oven, cable TV, air conditioning, heating, and free Wi-Fi.
Location & Access
The home is near Mt. Airy Forest and has access to I-74 and I-75; the property information describes many Cincinnati destinations as about a 10-minute drive away. Bus stops are listed 107–345 metres away, and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is about 15.3 km away.
Food Nearby
Restaurants listed roughly 2.2–3.3 km from the home include Bridges Nepali Cuisine - Northside, Dean's Mediterranean Table, Melt Revival, Tickle Pickle Restaurant, Ruth's Parkside Cafe, Nation Westwood, and W Bar + Bistro. Cincy Steak and Lemonade is listed about 5.9 km away.
Best for
The bungalow suits travelers looking for a private, home-style stay with a wooded setting and a hot tub, fireplace, and full kitchen. It can also work for small groups or families who value two queen bedrooms and access to Cincinnati by car.
Travel tips
For the driveway, stay right at the fork at the bottom of the hill and continue to the top; the approach can be difficult for inexperienced drivers. Parking is limited to three cars in the top concrete area, and the house rules prohibit using the neighbors' parking area. Check-in is after 3:00 PM and checkout is 11:00 AM.
What guests say
The available reviews describe the home as comfortable, private, and consistent with its listing description. Guests also mention that the wooded setting feels peaceful despite being in the city. One practical drawback noted is that the hill can make parking awkward.
