Downtown skyline view featuring giant rooftop deck & wet bar with a city view.

  • The historic SouthGate House is a private home on a large lot in the heart of the city. Located just over a mile from the Bengals and Reds stadiums and local concert venues, it’s an ideal spot to relax on the giant rooftop patio and wet bar. This modern 3 bedroom cliff dweller offers breathtaking panoramic views of Downtown Cincinnati. Take in skyline views from each level of this modern urban dwelling or from the private hillside lot featuring a city view fire pit. There’s also an additional secluded deck and a patio with a gas grill and exterior table. 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 family project home completely renovated with the majority of the work performed by a local father and sons. It was redeaigned to offer breathtaking city views from the bedroom, great room and rooftop deck. The private wet bar with a skyline view from the rooftop deck is perfect for relaxing or catching a game on the outdoor big screen TV.

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!

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 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.

We had an amazing stay in your home. It was incredibly clean, and had everything we could need. The rooftop deck was absolutely amazing. Sitting on the deck was a highlight of our trip. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of room, and we would highly recommend this home to anyone staying in the Cincinnati area.

We hosted a family Christmas gathering here and it was absolutely wonderful. The home was stocked with so many thoughtful extras—plenty of towels, toilet paper, soaps, paper towels, dishwasher supplies, and a well-equipped kitchen with pans and everything we needed. The rooftop was spectacular with a beautiful view, and we even took our family Christmas photos up there. Truly a special place and a perfect stay.

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.
