Urban Escape

Summary:

Step inside your very own urban retreat at this beautifully updated 3-bedroom home in the heart of northern Cincinnati. Tucked away in the suburbs of Northside and surrounded by lush trees, you will feel like you’ve travelled to the countryside rather than the city.



The Space:

Start your day off in nature by taking your morning coffee on the porch at the café seating and table for 2. After a full day of exploring everything the city and nearby area has to offer, the many comforts inside of this home will be waiting for you.



Stepping through the front door and into the home, modern elegance greets you at every turn with a bright, open floor plan that provides you and your group with all the space you need to spread out and relax. The living room offers an invitingly large sofa and smart TV, perfect for a movie night or streaming your favorite shows. Just behind this area, a generous, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, coffee maker, and toaster is a chef’s dream, offering ample opportunity to cook a meal at home. A table for 4 is nearby for a quick breakfast or a light lunch. If a formal dining option is more of your scene, the sophisticated dining room with plush seating for 6 provides the ideal setting.



If you happy to find yourself needing to catch up on some business, a chic, dedicated office is available to you.



This home sleeps 6 guests between 3 private bedrooms.



Bedroom #1 includes a king size bed, smart TV, and ensuite bathroom with a dual vanity and separate walk-in shower and soaking tub.



Bedrooms #2 and #3 each include a queen size bed and smart TV.



The home also includes 2 additional bathrooms – one full bathroom with single vanity and shower/tub combo, and the other a half bathroom.

• Please note that the fireplace is not available for guest use.

• This home is equipped with 3 exterior security cameras: (1) Outside garage, (2) front porch, and (3) back exterior of home. The interior of the garage is also equipped with (1) security camera, however this area is not accessible to guests.



Urban Escape is located close to several attractions and points of interest. Within just a few miles you will find the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, a popular attraction that features a wide range of animals and plants from around the world. Take a stroll through the walking trails of Eden Park, offering views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline. Also don’t miss out on the Cincinnati Art Museum housing a large collection of art from around the world, including paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts. The local food and drink options are virtually unlimited.



Beyond this area, there’s still so much more to explore. From Cincinnati’s street art revolution which has transformed neighborhoods with 180+ public murals, to its serious beer culture, trendy shopping and dining in revitalized historic neighborhoods like Over-the-Rhine, and authentic Art Deco architecture and design, this culturally diverse city is a can’t-miss destination.



Over on the Kentucky side of the river, you’re in prime Bourbon Trail territory. Check out distilleries and sipping points where you can sample Northern Kentucky’s bourbon, often paired with traditional southern foods. No matter what you decide to explore, one thing is for certain. The Cincinnati metropolitan area has no shortage of experiences to try during your stay at Urban Escape.

We enjoy the home. Spacious enough for everyone to be comfortable. I would say it was a 7.5/10 only because of areas that need attention. Sectional needs a good cleaning and isn’t very comfortable. Bedroom on left has visible stains and mattress not comfortable at all. Otherwise we made the best of our weekend and enjoy our annual festivities. I would recommend for future trips to Cincinnati.

There was plenty of room for our group of 6 people. The house was modern and well equipped. There was not whole lot of usable outside space for picnicking. The front porch was very nice for having coffee in the morning. The neighborhood was reasonably quiet and we had no trouble sleeping.

We really enjoyed our stay!

This house is just how it appears in the listing, with great spaces for hanging out together or for getting a little "me time" if needed. Loved the layout, all the comfy seating, and the privacy (surrounded on 2 sides by trees, neighboring house a distance away). Cleanliness and communication with the property manager/host were superb. The only areas for improvement were some small stains on the bedroom carpet and mattresses that should probably be replaced soon due to wear. But I would definitely stay again! Note: the driveway is very steep (not uncommon in Cincinnati) and light sleepers beware of loud road noise.

A reunion to Cincy after 18 years

The home was spacios and clean. All tech is dated versions of high end brands of a few years back meaning outdated, large remotes with too many buttons trying to operate tvs that want to do everything except allow current viewing options.

House gives "tired" vibes; it's clearly not a place that anyone cares about because the same minor issues mentioned in reviews from over a year ago exist. Side note - I use VRBO (emphasis on OWNERS) for a reason but this property is either owned or managed by a large for-profit rental company whose property tax bills get sent to another large company in California and I would not have rented from them if I had known that in advance.Be aware the driveway is no joke and it's on a busy road.Snow storm and unusually low temps made our weekend interesting and we were unable to safely leave for over 24 hours. While I realize many people would not want to clear snow at a VRBO, the lack of even a basic snow shovel and salt or sand meant treacherous conditions over which we had no control. I asked about our snow removal status 3 times in the 24 hours leading up to check out. It was still not clear when we left.

Family getaway in Cincy.

Property was well suited for our six family members. Would stay at this property again. The house is located on a main road so there is some traffic noise until around 10 pm or so. The driveway is steep, was easy to make it work by driving into the driveway and backing onto the concrete pad that is poured off of the main driveway. House is within 10 minutes of Paycor Stadium and Great American Ballpark.

This property is close to many Cincinnati sites we went to zoo and also Oktoberfest. Driveway is steep but with one car we were able to turn around no problem. There are outside sensors and at night something kept tripping them and lights came on and off all night. Not really too bad. Very comfortable would stay again.
