Luxury Bed & Breakfast in Cincinnati's Historic Gaslight District
Established in the historic Gaslight District of Cincinnati, our bed and breakfast offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Situated in a beautifully restored 1909 home, we provide luxurious accommodations with quick access to downtown Cincinnati and the University of Cincinnati. Our property features four distinct guest rooms, each with its own story and amenities, including private and shared bathrooms, cozy living spaces, and outdoor areas for relaxation. The owners, Scott and Maria Crawford, reside on-site but maintain separate entrances to ensure guest privacy while offering personalized hospitality. Guests enjoy shared access to two living rooms, two kitchens, a first-floor patio, and a second-floor covered porch, creating a balance between communal spaces and private retreats. The fourth-floor Swiss Family Robinson Room offers panoramic views above neighboring rooftops, while the Jewel Room features a private balcony and skylight.Our breakfast service is served in a third-floor kitchen with adjacent living areas, and we provide convenient access to local attractions like the Cincinnati Zoo and Art Museum. We maintain the home's original architectural elements, including stained glass windows and hardwood floors, while incorporating modern conveniences for today's travelers. Our goal is to create an environment where guests arrive as visitors but leave as friends, experiencing both comfort and connection during their stay. With over two decades of operation since our post-fire restoration in 1998, we continue to preserve this historic property while delivering exceptional hospitality to every guest.
