About this property

General Mitchel Historic Home in Downtown Lebanon

Ormsby Mitchel was a Major General during the Civil War, and this was his home. He is also the founder of the Cincinnati Observatory which was America's first public observatory. His observation work of the planet Mars has two discoveries named after him (The Mountains of Mitchel on the Mars south pole and the Mitchel crater are named in his honor). The cities of Fort Mitchell Kentucky, Mitchell Indiana, and Mitchelville South Carolina are also named after him.

This updated historic home was built in 1814 and is in the heart of downtown Lebanon. Local shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Easy access to local attractions like Kings Island and the Miami Valley Casino. We offer 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and plenty of space to spread out. A charming place to stay when traveling for work, a romantic weekend, a getaway with friends, or a family gathering.

This beautifully decorated home is over 200 years old, but has been updated with all of the modern conveniences that you would expect in your own home.

Central heating and air conditioning are throughout the home. Two large bedrooms with comfortable king and queen beds, along with a kids bedroom that has a bunk bed. A full bath downstairs and another full bath upstairs.

The kitchen is fully stocked with new appliances for all of your cooking needs. There's a smart TV downstairs in the family room and also upstairs in the kid's room. WiFi access is available throughout the home. For your convenience, there's also a laundry room with a washer and dryer.

Wonderful House

Absolutely stunning stay! The house is not only gorgeous but impeccably clean. Every detail has been thought of, from the stylish decor to the spotless surfaces. It truly felt like a home away from home. The space was bright, inviting, and so comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, top-tier stay. Will definitely be back!

Perfect historical bed and breakfast

This little mansion from the early 1800's has really held up well with many qualities not seen in recently built homes. Breakfast at the Breakfast Club is about a block away with exceptional service and down home menu. Bed, shower, kitchen all first rate. Host Mandi is a joy! Do a little research on Maj General Ormsby Mitchel before you come.

Absolutely stunning!

We were just blown-away by this gorgeous place. Husband and I stayed the week for son's soccer tourny, and it was perfect, perfect, perfect. Very quiet, super clean, and beautifully decorated. Wish we could have just sat in the house and enjoyed it more! Maybe next year. Big bed was super comfy! Thank you for an awesome week!

Immaculate historical residence

Perfect location a short jaunt from I-71 on 4-lane highway into Lebanon, which has several local restaurants downtown. Immaculate condition. Great TV room with huge, comfortable L-couch. One large bathroom downstairs is separated from the two bedrooms upstairs; smaller bathroom is upstairs, both have good showers. Stairs were steep but manageable. Eat-in kitchen was large and well-equipped. We enjoyed the historical charm of the place and would stay here again. of the place.

Beautiful historic home near everything

This home was absolutely perfect for our family's stay in Lebanon! It is located within walking distance from many eateries and other historic sites. It has been very tastefully updated, but still maintains its historic charm. Our family loved hanging out there and catching up. The owners Todd & Mandi were the best we've ever rented from! They responded immediately to any questions we had no matter what time it was and truly cared about providing an excellent experience to their guests. We can't thank them enough!

Cozy and Inviting

The Mitchell House was an amazing place to stay and the township of Lebanon was picturesque. We were a family of 6 and there was ample room for us to relax and not feel as if we were on top of each other. The home provided comfortable furniture and everything needed to fix meals for our gang. Communication with the owner/property manager was flawless and we did not want for anything. We will definitely stay again.

Wonderful respite for a sad occasion

We had come to the area for a funeral in Middletown. This home was perfect for us. We were able to meet our obligations with the funeral and time with family but had a space where we could relax and reflect in a quiet and comfortable home. The host was wonderful and attentive to our needs.

Loved your beautiful Home!

The 6 of us really enjoyed our overnight trip. We were very pleased with the location of your home, which was within minutes of the many little shops and restaurants. Your home provided everything we needed to cook our breakfast food that we brought along. Loved how you incorporated the new decor in with the old decor, which was an added pleasure. Thank you for your hospitality too!
