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 huge1860 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 T.V. 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. The air mattress & pump 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 for The Sboly Coffee maker but feel free to bring your own beans (there is a grinder) or your own pre-ground coffee. 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.

If you do plan to stay with a pet, please mention it so we can discuss specifics. No cats, dogs only. Note the number of pets at the time of your inquiry or reservation (2 dog limit please.) We charge a Pet Resort Fee of $20 per stay.

PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE:
Potential for city noise (next to a gas station & busy street)
Must be able to climb stairs
Side yard is shared with our other Rental guests
Outdoor security cameras/recording devices on property
(viewing exterior of home)
There are only two parking spots - use spaces marked #1 only - during rental window (check-in to check-out).

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 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?

Short Girls trip
We stayed here for a short girls trip and visit to Cincinnati. The house is very well cared for and furnished really well. You can tell they care a lot about the home and want to make peoples stays enjoyable. There are 3 floors, and the stairs are older, so if you have mobility issues its not for you. If you need some extra steps, then its your jam! The beds were very comfortable. The house is right next to a gas station, and it adds a little extra light and noise. They have provided ear plugs. Its a great location, we walked into downtown Covington and its a short drive to Cincinnati. In Covington there is a beautiful old cathedral that we never expected, so that was a fun find.

Tres House
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!

Perfect for Families
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.

Great house
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!

Perfect Location For Enjoying Cincinnati!
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!

Reds Weekend Getaway
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.

Excellent location and clear directions
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.
