About this property

The Carriage House Loft at Marion Hall Mansion

This open floor plan loft is on the first floor of an 1897 Carriage House. 1k sf, 12` ceilings, exposed brick and other beautiful elements. Fully equipped new kitchen with MASSIVE island, new bathroom, beautiful modern furnishings and a dedicated work space. This was once the stables of the carriage house of Frank Enger. Mr. Enger’s family manufactured carriages in the 1800s. When Frank took over, he eventually began putting motors in the carriages and ultimately founded the Enger Motor Company.

You`ll find the kitchen is the perfect place to cook, or simply hang out over a glass of wine, and for making everyone coffee in the morning while you relax. You`re more than welcome to enjoy the entire grounds, with various sitting areas located throughout the property. This space is the perfect option for travelling professionals, nurses, doctors, or simply couples or small families looking for a getaway.

We tried to strike a perfect balance between the original character of the property and designing in features to make the home really enjoyable day-to-day.

Our guests will enjoy a private loft in the carriage house stables of our historic home. The 1.8 acre, fully gated property boosts lush gardens, secluded landscape, and various sitting areas around the grounds to enjoy.

Our family lives in the main house at Marion Hall Mansion and are available for anything you might need during your stay

This is our go to VRBO when visiting Cincinnati! Spacious, unique, quiet and everything you could possibly need is included (yes even dog biscuits ). The grounds are beautiful and relaxing. Thank-you Matt and Heather! P.S. just a helpful hit...try to book early - a few times we tried to get a reservation but the property was already booked.

The property is gorgeous and the carriage house we stayed in was a delight! The kitchen was stocked and even offered spices and oils. The bathroom was stocked as well with any necessity that you may have forgotten to pack. The grounds are gorgeous with a beautiful outdoor seating area and a precious chicken house. The shade gardens are lovely and the history of the mansion is worth a read! Look forward to staying there again when I’m in Cincinnati.
