Downtown skyline view featuring giant rooftop deck & wet bar with a city view.

Welcome to the historic SouthGate House! Relax at the rooftop wet bar and take in skyline views from each level of this modern urban oasis. Located downtown but with a huge private lot featuring a city view fire pit, three decks and a patio. The modern kitchen provides a spacious area to prep and cook on the gas range or hang out at the countertop bar. The 16’ kitchen ceiling features exposed beams, stained glass and a ten foot ceiling fan. The master suite displays impressive oversized tile throughout with clean gold fixtures and a rain shower head against an opaque glass block ceiling to floor window. The upstairs great room features a relaxing ambrosia wood fireplace and wrap around windows with a city skyline view.

The Historic SouthGate House is a private oasis in the heart of the city. Just over a mile to Bengals and Reds stadiums, this modern 3 bedroom cliff dweller offers breathtaking panoramic views of Cincinnati. The private yard with a skyline view fire pit and huge rooftop deck with a wet bar is perfect for relaxing or catching a game on the outdoor big screen TV. Enjoy your morning coffee at the fireplace by the wrap around windows and watch as the city awakens at this ideal VRBO retreat.

Great House for a Ballgame

This house is really cool, very comfortable, and nicely located for hitting up the Great American Ballpark. It'll be my go-to anytime I travel in for a Reds game.

The skyline vista is an excellent property. The view from the rooftop is stunning and the furnishings are superb. It has everything you could need or want for a getaway. Calvin was very responsive and a great communicator regarding the property and rental. I would highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed.

My family of 6 loved staying here. The rooftop deck with a view of downtown Cincinnati is what drew us in, and it did not disappoint. Our family felt like we had enough space to spread out and be comfortable, but we also enjoyed the spaces together. The kitchen was well stocked, although I did not try to cook in it, because, well, vacation. I loved how we didn't have a long list of chores to do in order to leave! Check-in and out was a breeze!

The Southgate House was a gem

Walking into the Southgate House was a great moment. The interior is done beautifully...it was so cool. The kitchen is great, downstairs bedrooms were comfortable, master bath is really unique, and the living area is spacious and well apportioned. But our favorite gathering spot was the rooftop. The weather was kind enough to hold off the rain and we had amazing views of the city....even treated to a post-Reds fireworks show.The property manager (Calvin) was simply outstanding. He was very communicative and accomodating....great overall experience and we'll definitely like to come back!

We had 5 people in our group who stayed. It was a great place for us. Plenty of room. We stayed 3 nights. There were plenty of towels, plates, glasses and utensils. The house is in a quiet area. It was nice to have our own parking spot too. The views of Cincinnati were amazing! The host leaves things you may need like plenty of blankets, soaps, shampoo and conditioner. Even laundry detergent. For our first time in a VRBO, it was a fantastic first impression.
