Quirky Boho studio in the heart of Covington! Perfect for a relaxing getaway, couples retreat, or business trip. Centrally located, we are blocks away from Covington's Wedding District, 10 minute walk to Mainstrasse Village and 1 mile walk to Cincinnati's river front. I highly encourage a walk across the historic Roebling Bridge, the predecessor to the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.

The Neighborhood
Founded in 1815, Covington has been a staple neighborhood of the Cincinnati area. Heavily influenced by German immigrants in the mid 1800's, the city has preserved its German heritage while maintaining the charm that has beckoned its citizens since its foundation. Centrally located, Covington is a 5 minute drive to downtown and Newport and a 15 minute drive to CVG Airport. Conveniently located 2 blocks away from Covington's Wedding District and Hotel Covington. There are numerous bars and restaurants along Madison Avenue to keep you well fed and entertained.
The historic Mainstrasse Village is a 10 minute walk and sure to entertain with its bountiful shops, restaurants, bars and park.
Devou park offers beautiful hiking trails and one of the best views of the city, and is a 10 minute drive.
Paycor Stadium and Great American Ball Park are a 20 minute walk across the iconic Roebling Bridge.
Be sure to visit Over The Rhine, Cincinnati's vibrant historic neighborhood. Believed to be the largest continuous historic neighborhood in the US, OTR has the largest concentration of Italianate Architecture. It's also the entertainment Mecca of Cincinnati.
Getting Around
Most of the area is walkable, but there are numerous other options. Uber and Lyft are very common, in addition to a golf cart service called Gest. Gest offers free rides(tip your driver!) throughout the city, and can be hailed through their app. There is also a shuttle service between Covington, Cincinnati and Newport called the Southbank Shuttle. Rides are $1/per trip and have numerous stations in the area.
