About this property

Location, location, location...the best of everything...quaint urban living and big city excitement all within walking distance!!! This spacious 118 year old home located in the historic district of Northern Kentucky, Riverfront. It served as the parsonage for the Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church until 2001. Because we are only the 3rd owners of this lovely home, it has retained all its historic charm including original stain glass windows, but refurbished with all the innovated design for today's lifestyle!

Stroll along the neighborhood streets past unique shops, restaurants and all the entertainment the mighty Ohio River has to offer. Enjoy boating; riverfront dining plus you are a bridge away from your favorite big league sports! You are also minutes away from the variety of cultural events, museums, and family friendly activities Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati area has to provide.

This home is completely furnished with all amenities for a comfortable residence including off street parking and a lovely backyard providing additional outdoor living. Its close proximity to the expressway and Greater Cincinnati International Airport, affords an exceptional opportunity for corporate transfers and rentals, or vacationing families.

Rent this house for a month or longer. It will feel like your own home the day you move in. You might never want to leave Berry Avenue.

Beautiful Home

This house was beautiful, had comfortable beds, and was well located. We were walking distance to so much. We ate at the Elusive Cow which was recommended by the owner and loved it! We were also able to cook a large meal in the kitchen. This place was perfect for our group of six adults.

Location, location, location! Wonderful house and owners.

Super clean, very historic house beautifully restored and maintained. The location was so perfect for all the attractions in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati. We went to two Reds games, a Bengals practice, Aquarium, zoo, museums, and then came home to this splendid house every evening. We walked to restaurants for breakfast and dinner. We sat on the porch and watched fireworks from across the river! Highly recommend to anyone visiting this area!!

Great Place to Stay Close to Cincinnati

For the second time, my husband's adult siblings and spouses stayed in the parsonage as we met "halfway" between Northern Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia. As usual, Jane's place did not disappoint. The seven of us had plenty of space to sleep, enjoyed the dining room for cards, and the living room for morning coffee. The house is an easy walk to the bus stop (Tankus.org) which took us to Cincinnati where we enjoyed the Underground Railroad Museum (highly recommend), the casino, and OTR - all by using Cincinnati's free Connector train. We also took the bus to the Newport Hofbrau House one night for dinner. If you are looking for a place to stay in the Cincinnati area that is conveniently located, look no further than the parsonage!

Family trip to Cincinnati

This is a beautiful, well maintained historic home in a quiet residential area in KY just over the river from Cincinnati. Communication with host was easy— everything was organized and ready for our visit. Check in was trouble free and we were greeted with a modern kitchen with plenty of “the basics “— towels, trash bags, soap, food storage bags, etc that made it easy to use the kitchen and easy to clean up after ourselves. Spacious dining room made family meals easy to pull off. Bedrooms just beautiful and towels nicely placed on the beds for each person. Washer and dryer came in handy. Easy walk to historic sections of Bellevue and we even walked from the house all the way across the river to Ohio on the pedestrian bridge. Enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.

Girls Weekend

The house was so convenient to everything that we did in the Cincinnati area. We were able to walk easily to shops and restaurants from the house and it was easy to get in and out of the Cincinnati area in a car. It was great to stay in a house with a historic aspect. The only negative part of the house was actually the sleeping quarters in the upper floor/attic. The attic was so hot, even with AC, that no one could sleep in that room.

Lovely home away from home!

We enjoyed our stay! The owners were very quick to respond to our messages. The décor is lovely and thoughtful. We stayed in and cooked most of our meals and the kitchen was well equipped. TV has basic cable which owners might want to consider upgrading. The mattresses are another area where an update would be appreciated. Overall, we'd happily recommend this property.

Back home in N KY

The Old Parsonage was just as described. It was well equipped and provided comfortable space for gathering to visit, playing games, cooking, dining, and sleeping. Third floor sleep area was a good space for our granddaughter, her husband, and their one year old. There are great places close by for eating and "looking"...also places to access views of the river and, of course, the Cincinnati skyline. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. The location was specially convenient for us as we were in town for a family wedding in Covington with reception in Cincinnati. Each location was about a 15 minute drive. Jane provided a pack and play for the little one and even had a baby safety gate to secure the stairway. She responded quickly to text messages and provided lots of great information about the general area. We had a great time at the Bellevue house! Thanks, Jane!

We were in town to celebrate our daughter's wedding. This house was in the perfect location to attend events on both the KY and Cincinnati sides. The house is bigger than it appears in the pictures.

The Parsonage is wonderful

The Parsonage was an absolute delight! The facility was charming - four levels, each with its own uniqueness. The property owners were great to work with, responsive, providing insight to the area and recommendations for things to see and places to eat. If we return to the Cincinnati area, we will defintely try to stay in the Parsonage again.
