About this property

Unique and private loft that was once the stables of the carriage house of Frank Enger. Mr. Enger’s family manufactured carriages and shipped them around the country in the 1800s. When Frank took over, he eventually began putting motors in the carriages and ultimately founded the Enger Motor Company. This beautiful space combines old-world character with the modern amenities of today. The fully renovated space highlights exposed brick, a new kitchenette, new bathroom, and beautiful furnishings.

You'll find the kitchenette is a perfect launching point for your night and for making everyone coffee in the morning while you relax. The private patio is great and beautifully furnished with plants and plenty of seating. It will be great for having a bottle and enjoying the evenings. This space is the perfect option for travelling professionals, nurses, doctors, or simply couples or small families looking for a getaway.

We tried to strike a perfect balance between the original character of the property and designing in features to make the home really enjoyable day-to-day.

Our guests will enjoy a private loft in the carriage house stables of our historic home. The 1.8 acre, fully gated property boosts lush gardens, secluded landscape, and various sitting areas around the grounds to enjoy.

Our family lives in the main house at Marion Hall Mansion and are available for anything you might need during your stay

Wonderful Carriage House

We loved our time at the Carriage House. The house is modern and accessible to lots of Cincy and NKY areas. Matt and Heather are incredible hosts, and we’ll definitely be staying again.

Great place!

Loved our stay at the Carriage House. Perfect space for a couple with all the nice little touches. Communication was super easy with the owner. This is a shared space, as the description says…so if hearing the upstairs residents on occasion could bother you, maybe rethink this one. Otherwise it’s great! Planning on coming back.

Wonderful experience!

While looking for a place to stay for an overnight Valentine's Day getaway, I came across this wonderful property. Just a short drive from our favorite downtown restaurant, this charming carriage house made for the perfect retreat for the evening. The historic charm of the studio suite adds a touch of class that is memorable. Matt, our host, was wonderful, promptly responding to any questions I had regarding our stay. We will definitely be returning!

Fantastic carriage estate getaway

A must stay when visiting Cincinnati and Xavier college. Location is within minutes of downtown. Owners are 5 star guests. The grounds of the estate are beautiful with well marked parking and excellent communication by the owners. Will stay again when visiting Cincy!!

The place had everything you would need and the communication with Matt what top notch. Bed was great. The perfect place to take a break and get my head straight.I would highly recommend this host and rental. Would give it 10 stars if the site would let me

Great, but not exactly what I expected

This was our first time using a service like Vrbo, and probably had more questions than most guests. At just under a thousand square feet, the place was plenty big and comfortable enough for us (myself & 2 kids). I assumed that, at that size, that we would have the entire Carriage house, but it was *much* more impressive than that. While there were no ‘shared’ spaces as part of our rental, I did not anticipate being under a second floor unit. It was not overly loud by any means, but I’ve never lived anywhere that had a shared wall/ceiling/floor. Had I known that, I likely would have ruled the place out, and that would have been a mistake. Even with the shared ceiling/floor, it was great. I’m sure we used the kitchen more than most, having groceries in the fridge, using the toaster oven to bake cinnamon rolls in the morning(s) and dinner as needed. The kitchen(-ette) is not fully equipped for everything you might possibly need for a group of 4, but was perfect for us.The foldout couch was surprisingly very comfortable. Advertised as pet-friendly, we did not see any evidence of previous pets having stayed there, which was nice. It would be nice if the lights were wired differently to allow for a little better darkness in the sleeping area, while having a single light on in the kitchen, but I’m probably reaching at this point. It was great.

Charming Carriage House

My husband, 2 dogs, and I loved our quick jaunt in Cincinnati! The accomodations at the Carriage House at Marian Hall were wonderful, we only wish we had more time to spend here! The location was central to everything we wanted to do in Cincy, and provided a safe and comfortable stay for my family! We look forward to following along on social media how Marian Hall!

Very cool place!

It's an old carriage house, so despite three heaters, it was cold and drafty. Plenty of warm blankets were provided and the heat lamps in the bathroom helped a lot. Shower was hot, but tiny. Could use a deep cleaning, as there was a lot of thick dust and cobwebI would recommend, as well as return!!! s, but overall, it was a neat place!

Stay here if visiting Cincinnati!

We booked this charming studio for the weekend while in Cincinnati for a concert. The property is beautiful and the location was great! We were back after our sold out show at Heritage Bank in literally 10 minutes! The hosts had great communication and there was everything we could have needed. I can’t imagine staying in a generic hotel when you could stay here. I will definitely book again if coming to Cincinnati!

Comfortable, quiet, cozy space. Perfect for our weekend visit to the zoo and aquarium. Super-comfortable bed. Beautiful grounds and main home. Chester the (outside) cat and the roaming band of hens added to the homey charm.

Wedding Visit

My sister and I came for our great-nephew's wedding. 10 days before our trip my email was hacked and I couldn't get into my email at all. Then 2 days before our trip, I went through Hurricane Milton in Fl. I was able to contact Matt to explain about my email problem, and he agreed to send the check-in info to my cell phone. My sister was able to get there on time, but due to an airport closure on my side, I was delayed by a day. We had a lovely time at the wedding, and was able to visit a museum downtown on Sunday and go to the Cinci museum in the old train station (Beautiful and very cool place). The wedding was in DT Cinci, and your location was great and easy to get back and forth to the wedding activities. My only suggestion would be to put a 'No Parking' sign on the garage door that was next to our rental, since we mistakenly parked in front of it, not allowing the person who lived there to be able to get out. We were sooo sorry that happened.

Romantic getaway

Beautiful premises, we stayed in the carriage house, former horse stables. Romantic setup, I liked particularly the surrounding park/garden and the chicken visiting at lunch! The acoustic insulation is quite weak, we heard every step and conversation of the neighbors above.

Comfortable and unique

The carriage house and 1897 historic Marion Hall Mansion pay a unique tribute to Cincinnati's turn of the century history. We enjoyed our stay very much. The WiFi was perfect for working from our laptops during the day and our pups enjoyed staying with us. The grounds are beautiful. We stayed here because we are selling our home in Cincinnati and needed a local getaway location so that we were not under pressure to have our home clean and show ready the first week of listing.
