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.

This place was awesome! They truly thought of everything! Very well stocked with all the necessities. Spacious, and we absolutely loved the top floor deck! Great location! We were there for a Bengals football game, and it was so convenient. Definitely would stay again! The house and host were perfect.

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.

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!

We booked Southgate House for a weekend because our daughter’s wedding took place in Northern Kentucky. Calvin and his son have done a remarkable job transforming an older home into a fun, creative, cool experience with little surprises like the roof top deck and the amazing kitchen. They’ve thought of everything, but also were willing to go above and beyond to meet our needs and make our stay comfortable. The house is quiet with no through traffic on the street. The beds were super comfortable, the showers were nice and hot, the city views were spectacular (we got to see Octoberfest fireworks from the rooftop deck!), and the home was spacious enough to host a few family members for brunch the day after the wedding. There’s plentiful parking on the street across from the house. Southgate House felt like a home away from home during our big event.

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.
