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 6 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?

We had a great stay at Tres house in Covington! We chose the location based on its proximity to the conference center and it was perfect being only about 2 blocks from the center.
The house was well equipped and very well appointed. It was convenient to popular areas in town and easy access to Cincinattu as well. The house itself had a lot of character, with lots of interesting and artistic surprises throughout. Beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed it and plan on being back.
The only things that I would note is that there is a lot of activity around. Liquor stores and a Circle K right next door so things can get a bit lively at times, but you are in a city and should expect that as part of the experience. Additionally, it is a three story house with steep stairs. The kitchen is on the first floor, bedrooms on 3rd with a great community room on 2nd. This was completely fine for us, but could be an issue if you had mobility issues.
All said, we loved the place. It had a lot of character and was very comfortable. Hosts were great to deal with and check-in and check out was an easy process. We felt right at home staying there and appreciate the opportunity to do so!

Our family of 6 had the most amazing stay at the Tres House. Prior to our arrival working with the hosts was incredible, I had originally booked the home for 5 plus a pet. A week before our trip we decided to board our dog and add an extra kid. Vicki was accommodating and made the change quickly. The instructions for check in were incredibly detailed and left no questions unanswered. Once we arrived, we entered easily and were met with all the accommodations of home. First impressions as we walked in and through the house was it was very clean and well maintained, it was organized and had the cutest touches of decor that caught our eye in every room. As we got to the second floor we were met with music, they had left music playing, warm lighting on all floors and the temperature was perfect. It was incredibly cozy. We were visiting the home during Thanksgiving, grocery shopping was close and easily accessible. The home itself had nearly every cooking utensil we needed, plus a beautiful dining area for family meals. While in the area we visited the Cincinnati Zoo, Newport aquarium and a Cincinnati Bengals game. The home is perfectly located for all these activities, parking was off the street and there was absolutely no concerns with the neighborhood. The Bengals game was an easy 30 min walk which saved a lot of frustrations for parking. I would highly recommend this home and these hosts. Our family had the best time here and would come back in a heartbeat.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was spacious, clean, and had a lot of personality. The beds and pillows were super comfortable and warm. Check in/out was easy and the hosts were communicative and helpful. There were lots of restaurants and markets within walking distance. The only potential issue (for some people) I can think to add is that the road in front of the house rattles so when cars drive by, especially large trucks, the walls of the house vibrate. But still, it wasn't particularly loud so it didn't really disrupt our sleep much. It wasn't really an issue for us but might be something to keep in mind if you're a very light sleeper (there were earplugs provided though!). Aside from that, everything was terrific and we would definitely stay here again!

My husband, adult daughter and I really enjoyed staying in this house! I was a little nervous about it being right next door to a gas station, but the fence and trees made it so the gas station wasn't even a factor. The house was exactly as pictured with charming decor, comfortable furnishings and beds, and lots of thoughtful extra touches like coffee pods, spices, snacks and games. It was nice to have the free parking spaces in the alley behind the house, and we were able to walk across the pedestrian bridge to downtown Cincinnati to enjoy the Oktoberfest. We would definitely stay again!

Overall stay was great. The house is in need of a little repair upgrades but the decorating was cute and creative. Hard for people to stay at this house if you have knee problems or can’t walk flights of stairs as bathrooms, living space and bedrooms were all up flights of stairs. Some lose boards need repaired on staircases. Had issues with entrance door opening a a couple of times. And parking is not good if you have more than one vehicle. The space in between two spaces is very very difficult to pull in and out of.
House was very well stocked and supplied with necessities and fairly close to great restaurants.
Overall great place and would probably stay there again.

Was there for a reds game, worked out really well, was nice to walk in and not see anyone and if their were any problems/questions Vicky was very attentive, got right back to me! The Tres couldn’t have went any better!

Our stay at the Tres House was very fun. We had our two little doxies with us and they enjoyed the fenced yard, too. Every little amenity was provided. Tres House is within easy walking distance to Mainstrasse area. We met Vicki and her mom and enjoyed a little visit and tour of the adjoining property in case we return with more of our family in the future. We loved it!

The house was absolutely adorable and so well decorated. The host provided everything needed to be comfortable.
The area is very close to downtown and so may not be right for all families.

We walked to dinner and ice cream and it was lovely. We saw fireworks at the ballpark from the third floor. We really loved this location and the charm of the house. Things we suggest to improve: the smoke detector light flashes in the bedroom every 2 minutes and the lights from the gas station next door are rather bright. Consider adding some curtains. In the summer, the portable AC needs a long lead time to cool the third floor, good information for guests. These few creature comforts were the only detractors. We loved our stay and the personalized touches throughout the house.

The Tres home had everything. Most importantly, a big kitchen table for playing cards and doing a puzzle! The House Binder had so much great information, and we were able to enjoy Agave and Rye for dinner, a nearby Gelato shop lave for desert, and Roebling Point Books and Coffee the next morning with a nice walk through the historic district. The home itself was full of character and fun! You can tell the hosts care. Thank you for having us!

We had an amazing time. The house is gorgeous and so much fun. Hosts made check in easy and were super communicative. Would recommend to anyone seeing an event at Paycor stadium.

Unique property!
Only recommendations would be regarding cleanliness and bolt/lock safety; cobwebs over the front door, loose banister, uneven wood floors that may be an issue for children or those without shoes, second floor bathroom vent did not work, and side door entrance bolt only slightly inserted into the door frame. I would recommend a deep clean and repair of the door frame and assurance of the locking mechanism working as it should considering the area may not be the norm for out of town-ers.

This place is amazing. The decor had us in awe the entire stay. Truly an adventure in itself. Great location for enjoying area attractions. Vicky was extremely easy to communicate with throughout. Every amenity from home you’d want plus more.
4th street is a very busy street so be aware if you’re one to want to fall asleep before midnight luckily we’re night owls. We loved Tres House!
5.0
The house is beautiful and the owners have thought of everything. There were snacks in the living room and drinks in the fridge. Parking was easy and safe. Entrance was easy. The side yard is large and comfortable. The house is on a rather busy street so at night it was quite bright, even through the blinds. Both bedrooms are on the third floor, so lots of stairs.

This was our second time visiting this specific house and I kind of wondered if some of the “magic” we felt the first time would be gone. But, it was even better this time! The hosts do a great job of keeping the house nice over time, and it was very comfortable for our two-couple group. We love the charm of the house and Vicki is a treasure to communicate with. Don’t look anywhere else! You’ve found the right place to stay.

This was a fun location for our two couple group. The house itself is beautiful, and full of cool eclectic art. Comfortable sleeping, nice sitting area with a wonderful view of Cincinnati, and large kitchen/dining area. A very easy location to get to, not far off the freeway, with good parking. We used the shuttle (stop is just down the street) and the free Cincinnati streetcar to get around. There are also many nice restaurants within walking distance of the house. We had fun watching (supervising) all the large equipment across the street preparing the old IRS processing center lot for future development! We hope to return to Historic Tres House soon.

We will stay here again. Vicky is an amazing host. I've never stayed in a place so stocked with the comforts of home. Neat, clean, organized, all of the things you typically want, but at the Tres they go above and beyond to make it feel like home. The lounge on the second floor... hello! So awesome! Plus the firepit was perfect for gathering at night.
Walking distance to all the best that Covington & Cincy waterfront has to offer. All for of us agreed that this was the most fabulous place to stay. We will be back again, hopefully, sooner rather than later!
