About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

Cool Stay in Cincinnati

We loved the carriage house near Xavier University. We had plenty of space plus the bed and bath were both amply stocked. What we loved most was the location as we were headed downtown one night and Riverbend the next. Typical neighborhood near a university. Older homes of all kinds dot the area.

26th Anniversary

Pictures don’t do it justice, adorable and so many books super clean love the way it’s decorated and a historical neighborhood with a huge houses. The property is beautiful. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone we were only 15 minutes away from everything we wanted to do. We went to hard rock casino and we went to Montgomery Inn restaurant. Had a wonderful time.!!! A beautiful place! Bed was super comfortable also! Had everything we needed tons of towels, wonderful plates everything was stocked well dishes, and everything you needed.
