Six Acres Bed & Breakfast

If your looking for a hotel environment then go to a hotel. But if something different is what your looking for this is the place. We stayed here for two days and really enjoyed ourselves. Such a Intimate stay a warm welcome and delicious breakfast!! The location was perfect for us with our stay. Definitely a hidden gem

Before Six Acres, I had never stayed at a bed and breakfast. When booking, little did I know I would be in such a cool bed & breakfast. Two sisters run this place and it just feels so much like home - they even had some actual family passing through while we stayed there. Six Acres was a stop on the underground railroad! I didn't realize we were staying at a place with so much history and found it to be a really cool experience. I was worried about the B&B being haunted but am happy to report no strange happenings occured while we were staying there! Harhar.Six Acres is a bit off the beaten path of anything in Cincinnati. We had to drive 10-15 to get to any of our destinations in any direction. I think part of being away from the action means getting a good deal on the price, as well! Our room was nice and clean enough for our picky butts. Some rooms share a bathroom and we were not feeling that so got a room with our own facilities. The bathroom wasn't perfect but it got the job done! It was an interesting experience for us staying at a B&B and having to creep in after our night out as to not wake the other guests. In the morning, we had breakfast together with all the others staying overnight and the family that ran Six Acres. It was a pleasant time and tasty start to our morning! Gotta admit for someone slightly socially awkward like myself though, it was a slight strain making conversation with strangers. If that's your thing though, you'll love meeting people from various parts of the country!Loved the whole experience of staying at an old mansion in Cincy that holds so much historic significance! Staying here, you won't get up to date furnishings or technology but you will have a fine time and meet some lovely people!

Our visit to Cincinnati was made so much more enjoyable, thanks to the hospitality provided by Six Acres. From the moment we arrived until check-out, we were treated to a unique lodging experience; one far more superior to comparably-priced hotels/motels.The main house boasts nine sumptuous rooms, most equipped with private baths. We chose to stay in "Annie's Suite", which is actually the entire first floor of a separate house adjacent to the main house. The property sits along well-traveled Hamilton Ave., but the sound of traffic was muffled by the type of solid construction found in homes built during the 1800's, providing us with peace and quiet in the midst of the city.Guests are greeted upon arrival by the proprietor, Chelli, who offers each guest a warm smile and friendly handshake as she welcomes them into the house. She offers a wealth of information about the home's history as an Undergraduate Railroad stop, and about its original owner, abolitionist Zebulon Strong. Breakfast is served in the formal dining room, and Chelli joins us for lively conversation and offers us some sightseeing tips for our day ahead.Our accommodations were spacious, featuring a master bedroom with king-size bed, a second bedroom with a full bed, a living room, dining room, fully-equipped kitchen and full bath...a level of comfort and privacy far superior to any downtown hotel.A winning combination of fantastic amenities, a kind, knowledgeable host and a history-packed residence. Six Acres is a wonderful place to stay for anybody visiting the Queen City.

The Good:- Supporting a black-owned (and woman-owned!) business.- The location in Northside.- The house and property itsself.- The history of the house.The Not so Good:- Colder months (I stayed in April) mean there is semi-opaque taped plastic sheeting over the windows, so there is no view to the outside (the view from the Sallie Mae room is one of the main reasons I booked it in the first place). As a bonus, the wind blowing the plastic makes a kind of gentle rustling that'll put you right to sleep!- Overall the house seems to have been restored on the cheap. Examples: a vent in the room was just totally open/uncovered & needing repair, a pillow case was being used as a table cloth on the end table next to the bed, one of the small tables in the room was totally broken, there was an open closet full of junk, there are toppled over chairs and trash on the covered part of the back yard. - Breakfast was ok, but it didn't feel like the sort of breakfast you'd get at a bed and breakfast that costs this much. I really WANT to like this place, and overall enjoyed my stay. But I wouldn't stay there again. The quality is just not there compared to other B&B's.

A lovely respite in Cincinnati. It's on the south end of College Hill... which means you're far enough removed from any potential shadiness. We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a family wedding at the nearby Laurel Court mansion. The owner, Kristin, is not only a delightful person but an amazing innkeeper, chef and community-member. Our family descended on the B&B filling most of the main building (5 rooms) and the 7th Acre (a separate house with 5 more rooms, living rooms and kitchens). Rooms and facilities in the main building were impeccable. The 7th Acre could use a few touch-ups on the fixtures, but it was still very comfortable, quaint and it felt like home! From the great breakfasts to the Rehearsal Dinner luau, service was consistent, excellent and always friendly. To top it off, there's a lot of history in this neck of the woods. The house was a welcome stop on the Underground Railroad back in the 1800s. I would highly recommend Six Acres B&B any day.

I just returned from a ladies' birthday celebration trip over Labor Day weekend. Accommodations were so comfortable, food was delicious. The property's history was shared with us and was very interesting. I will most definitely return to Six Acres!! I can confirm that the other three ladies traveling with me share this sentiment! We can't wait to go back!

Location was my reason for choosing Six Aces (near my friends' place). So I did not expect to have such a pleasant stay. My room was large and comfortable, warm with excellent natural light (daytime reading without lamps). The house is decorated in an age-appropriate eclectic mix of turn-of-19th century furnishing. Firm bed; plenty of hot water; good water pressure. As a mid-week guest I monopolized innkeeper Kristin's breakfast conversation time. We traded tales of rehab and stories of wild animals in the city - I tell her Cincinnati bear sighting stories every chance I get. (BTW, it was an fine breakfast.)Six Acres has a great location; on a ridge overlooking Hamilton Ave and the LaBoiteaux Forest Preserve. It's a great jumping off point for viewing fall colors. The Forest Preserve is a great place to start (colors are especially dense at the base of the ravine. I'd book myself in again without a second thought; I recommend you stay there.

First a warning: it's not air conditioned. But, despite being there during a record hot day in the upper nineties, our room was reasonably comfortable with just a ceiling fan. Twelve foot ceilings certainly help. Both our bedroom and our bathroom were huge, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. The mattress was firm and there were plenty of pillows. The TV was very old school, but we don't vacation to watch TV. The location is perfect, in the midst of a forested park but still only a $20 taxi ride to the middle of town. There's a bus stop right across the road - $1.75 fare and a half hour later we were at the riverfront. We left our car there. No need to fuss with parking! The house itself is more than old school: it's ancient, and brimming with an exciting history that our keepers were happy to share with us in colorful detail. But never overbearing, like the best of innkeepers, they knew when to keep us company and when to leave us alone. That's why we stay in B&B's, to get that wonderful personal touch - and the breakfast was no disappointment either! Bacon and eggs cooked perfectly, a bowl of tropical fruit, and the coffee cake is to die for! Nothing packaged or premixed. We would definitely stay there again, and definitely recommend it to one and all. You won't find better at this price point.

We stayed at Six Acres for one night only about a week ago. Overall it was quite a lovely experience.PROS- The house is utterly idyllic, from the lovely exterior to the well-manicured interior. The place is historical and beautiful.- Very comfortable and clean. - Breakfast was quite tasty!- Staff were very available for questions.CONS- Toilet in our room didn't work properly; this was addressed immediately (we were offered another room or use of one of the shared bathrooms; we took them up on the latter). - Driveway to the house is a sharp incline on a curve; we were told our 16ft box truck (we're in the process of moving) wouldn't be a problem. We were able to negotiate it both coming in and going out, but it was a little hairy. So in review, the issues we had were extremely minor as compared with how lovely the home, the service, and the meal was. I'd definitely recommend it.

Booked a room on Expedia.com for 2 Queen Beds, Charles was there to show us the room. It was a Double and a Twin room up 6 flights of stairs with no elevator. Charles stated the Bed and Breakfast does not have a room with 2 queen beds. They refuse to refund my money and lie to Expedia when they call them so Expedia refuses to refund me. I had to book a room 2 miles away that cost another 200+$. DO NOT BOOK HERE! Rooms not as advertised or shown on website. Run Down Bed and Breakfast not locally/ family owned!
