Property Description
Built in 1887, this former convent has been beautifully renovated to create a unique getaway featuring exposed brick, beautiful hardwood floors, 11-ft ceilings on the first floor, and an abundance of natural light. This house is huge, with 5,400 square feet of living space for your group to enjoy! All bedrooms have queen beds, sitting areas, light-blocking curtains or blinds, and double-paned windows to maintain a quiet and peaceful environment for you. You'll get a great night's sleep!
The space
Each of the three floors has its own new, efficient, and independent heating/cooling system, and the temperature in every bedroom can be adjusted to the preferences of individual guests.
With two large dining rooms and a fully-equipped kitchen, including commercial-grade and artisan coffee supplies, the Convent is perfect for your group.
No parties, please!
Guest access
You'll be able to access the entire house except for a one bed, one bath apartment hidden away on the main floor, which has its own separate entrance and will be vacant during your stay unless you'd like access to it (available for an additional charge of $50 per night).
Other things to note
We share an unfenced backyard and courtyard with the owners of a former Catholic rectory and with some urban farmers who tend parts of the yard. They’re all dear friends and if you're interested you can get breakfast made with fresh eggs and vegetables from the urban farm at For the Life of the World Café a block away! You’re nestled in the heart of a close-knit community of 100+ people, so it's not unusual to see a few people using the yard.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About customRules:Please don't flush anything other than toilet paper.

Highly recommend. 10/10
We stayed for a week at the Convent with our multi family group. It was thoughtfully stocked with a very attentive host for any need we had. The layout is perfect for a large group with plenty of seating, area for cooking, and hosting. Would highly recommend. 10/10

Great property for large group!
12 of us stayed at the Covenant for our daughter’s wedding in Cincinnati. This was a great space with lots of room for cooking, eating , socializing and sleeping. There was plenty of dishes and linens and each room had its own heating/cooling and fans. The rooms were surprisingly quiet! It was great to have everyone under one roof and watching the hawks and their fledglings in the back yard was a bonus! The host was great, we would definitely recommend and stay at this property again!

Perfect Place for a large group!
This place was amazing! Our son got married at Xavier 5 mins away. We have 3 other adult children with significant others and had my in-laws with us. The downstairs connected apartment was perfect for the in-laws! The bedrooms were all great sizes with extra seating in each one. The 3rd floor was the perfect place for my son and his groomsmen to get ready. Everything we needed was in the kitchen and towels were plentiful. The living room had enough seating for all of us to sit together to visit and the parking lot adjacent to the home was large enough for all of our cars. Greg was wonderful to communicate with and quickly answered all questions. I highly recommend the Convent for anyone who needs a good sized place to stay in the Cincinnati area.

Excellent property & friendly neighbors
We stayed at the convent home for 3 nights with 3 families during spring break and took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge and the Children's Museum. Our group had 7 adults and 9 children (16 months-14 yrs) -the property was clean, comfortable and the best part was the individual space temperature regulation available to ensure everyone was comfortable. The neighbors were very nice and helpful to us. We had a fantastic time and will return when we are back in the area. Highly recommend for a large family or multiple families.

A great space for a retreat for a small group
This place is amazing. An expertly equipped kitchen with sharp knives, great pans, plenty of glasses and silverware for our group of 11. Lots of cozy sitting areas and separate sleeping spaces in the 3-level house, located in a real homey neighborhood close to shopping, restaurants and green spaces. Comfy beds, beautiful floors and a rich sense of history! Owner was very responsive to our questions.

Fun weekend getaway!
We had our joint bachelor/bachelorette party in Cincy and stayed at this awesome house! There were five couples and we all fit comfortably! We loved the uniqueness of the house and location was perfect because most of our activities happed in Over-the-Rhine. Which was a quick 8 min Uber. Plenty of different large spaces throughout the house for our large group to hang out. The manager of the house was a great communicator as well. We all loved the house and would certainly stay again!
