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 TV. 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& beans for the single-serve coffee maker (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?
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. A Smart television with Netflix is provided, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Terrific home in Covington
This property is fantastic. It’s in a wonderful location where restaurants, bars, and shops are easy to walk to. The space itself has a fun, warm, and homey vibe, and the owners clearly enjoy hosting as they offer up a variety of games, snack items, and a huge book of suggestions for things to do while in the area. I would highly recommend this house if you find yourself in the Cincinnati or Covington area.

Tres House
We stayed at Tres House while visiting our UC student and spent most of the weekend exploring Covington on foot! The house is an easy walk to great restaurants and local shops, as well as riverfront parks. We enjoyed exploring the house and loved everything about the beautiful architecture, unique decor, artwork, and thoughtful touches (including snacks!) that added comfort to our visit. This is our second stay with the hosts and we were happy to have a chance to meet them in person this time around. We hope to be back many times!

I recently stayed at a Tres property and had a delightful experience. The house exuded a timeless beauty and had a lot of character. It was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with stained glass windows that added a touch of elegance. I was pleasantly surprised by the well-stocked kitchen, complete with a variety of snacks. The backyard was a lovely, cozy space perfect for relaxing. Additionally, Alexia's thoughtful touches in each room really enhanced the ambiance. Overall, it was a memorable stay, and I highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a unique and comfortable retreat.

"TRES" House!
Clean and comfortable, fun and interesting, three-story house. This home is one of very few who are pet friendly and do not limit guests to their dogs size. Very thankful for that. House was accommodating and very neat. The property owner was quick to respond, and kept us informed on things we needed to know during our stay (thank you Vicky). I would recommend this home to family and friends, and would certainly stay again. We enjoyed our visit to Cincinnati, and enjoyed this home a bunch.

Resting our heads during a busy weekend
We had a busy weekend in Cinic and really needed somewhere to rest. Well this place was that and WAY more. My teens want to rent it again to be able to spend more time there! It had comfortable beds, it was walking distance to a lot of cool stuff, it had a lot of things to do inside. Not to mention it was a cool turn of the century home that has been renovated so it was a lot of charm. We also loved the quirky decorations! Definitely will rent again!

Neat house
The house was an historic brownstone with some beautiful original features. We had trouble with the door locking mechanism not working but Vicki was quick to respond to my message and they came to fix it within a few hours. The neighborhood was a little sketchy as it was adjacent to a gas station and had a bus stop across the street, but it was close to a variety of attractions .

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!
