Historic Tres House , “Tres” for 3 floors of Charm!

The Tres House is in the center of it all ... just a couple blocks from the German MainStrasse Village and only four blocks from the Ohio River. Hop on over to Over-the-Rhine, Bellevue and Newport too!

This huge 1860 modern and charming 3-floor suite is a Smart Home and an urban retreat like no other, providing a relaxing stay for solo travelers, business trips, families with kids, furry friends and even large groups.

The historic Tres House alone is perfect for 1 to 6 guests, and even suitable for up to 12 if you combine our two rentals together. The Tres House is connected to another suite, The House of Liebe, and together this two-family home can accommodate wedding parties, large families, business travelers and more! Need more space than that …. one street over we own “The Slanted House” and “Always Friday” (each sleeps up to 2 more).

You’ll feel like you’re at home at Tres House with a fully-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, Netflix and Apple TV, complimentary drinks, coffee, tea, snacks and more!

You can GEEK OUT in this Smart Home and control the Hue Lighting, limitless music, and house temperature with your personal assistant Alexa. And of course, there is extremely high-speed wireless internet. There is a multi-port USB charging station at the desk on the second floor.

For your ENTERTAINMENT, we offer free Netflix and Apple TV in the Living Room (second floor). There is an antenna to pick up local channels if needed. Note: we don't have regular Network TV. Feel free to log into your own HULU, Disney, HBO, Sling, etc. accounts.

Snuggle up in either of our two BEDROOMS both with queen-size beds. The purple 80’s bedroom with black and white decor has a spectacular view of the city.

The LIVING ROOM (space on 2nd floor) can be used as a 3rd bedroom if needed as it includes a full-size sleeper sofa and twin-size air bed. All linens, pillows and blankets are stored conveniently under the ottoman. A twin camping cot with coordinating linens are stored in the Paris Bedroom (3rd floor). Also enjoy this room as an entertainment area for TV, games, and relaxing. We provide the popcorn and snacks! There is a desk in the living room for personal workspace and a fun assortment of toys, books, and games for the kiddos. It also has an incredibly large picture window with a SWEET view of downtown, Cincy.

The BATHROOMS are located on the 2nd floor (half-bath) and 3rd floor (full-bath). There is a vanity across from the 3rd floor bath for extra “getting ready” space. We provide all towels, linens, and toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush and paste, and bath gel so you don’t have to tote them.

The gourmet KITCHEN is decked out with everything you’ll need for preparing meals at home. If it’s not there, we want to know so we can add it! Take a peek through our cabinets and drawers - you’ll find spices and herbs, pots ’n pans, baking dishes, cutting boards, knives, pet bowls and accessories, and many other helpful items. We provide k-cups & beans for the single-serve coffee maker (it brews both)! There is a frother too so bring your favorite milk product to fancy up your coffee.

Connected to the kitchen is our DINING ROOM with a table for six guests.

The LAUNDRY nook is located conveniently off the bedrooms (3rd floor). We provide detergent, fabric sheets and more to help you get the job done easily.

OUTDOORS you can enjoy the city view and sounds from your front porch or the shared side yard. There is a fire pit and wood for cool, relaxing evenings. Note: availability of wood is limited and not guaranteed.

Summer Nore: If you’re considering renting our place in the heat of summer, please read the following before you book: Tres House (an 1860 historic house) gets a lot of sun in the city and it has a third floor. Third floors can get toasty! We suggest keeping the blinds closed during the day, using the ceiling fans and standing fan, ensuring the vents are open, and take advantage of the supplemental A/C unit on the thirdfloor. If you prefer a house that is super cold like a hotel during the hottest days of July / August …. This house may not be for you. Read all of our reviews over 8 years and you will see that guests find our place extremely comfortable and we will be booked solid during the summer. However, I mentioned this in case guests are very sensitive to summer heat.

Important - No extra guests. Plans change ... so let us know if yours do. Please note our capacity of 6 and make sure your reservation matches the number of guests in our Rental. (This includes visitors even if they don’t spend the night.) If you need to add a guest at the last minute, please reach out to us right away. It is only $10 extra per guest beyond the first two registered. Failure to communicate with hosts about the correct number of guests will result in ALL guests being asked to leave.

Upon booking please tell us …. What brings you to Covington? Why do you wish to rent our place? Who will be joining you? How many guests? Do you have pets and if so, how many/what kind? How many cars do you need to park?
