Captain's Quarters—Covington Home Away From Home!

Summary:
Welcome to Captain’s Quarters—where historic charm meets modern comfort! Built in the late 1800s, this beautifully restored home blends the rich heritage of Kentucky—horses, steamboats, and the bourbon trail—with today’s conveniences. Enjoy a well-stocked bar in the living room for mixing up your favorite drinks and a game room in the basement with an air hockey table and an arcade machine featuring 400+ games!

Located just four walkable blocks from Mainstrasse Village and its fantastic restaurants and bars, you’re also only 1.4 miles from downtown Cincinnati, accessible via the scenic Roebling Bridge. This home is professionally cleaned and the linens are commercially laundered and pressed before each stay, ensuring a spotless and comfortable experience.

A "hidden" staircase connects the third bedroom to the dining room, adding a touch of adventure!

Captains Quarters

Great except that we rented this property for the air hockey table and video game room and we’re unable to use it. The air hockey table had no pucs and the controls did not work on the game. The Grandboys we’re disappointed. Everything else was great.

Ark Encounter Trip

My family had an amazing time. The property is beautiful inside; plenty of space for my wife, two kids, and mom and dad. It was a perfect location from the Ark and Creation Museum. Enjoyed our vacation, plenty of space to relax and hang out, and a nice park nearby for the kids to play. Thank you for a fantastic, Father’s Day weekend!

Highly recommend the Captains Quarters

This house was perfect for our weekend with friends. Everything was well appointed!! The beds were so comfortable with the finest linens. We loved the games in the basement. The house has so much character! Bonus was contacting sstikitours.com and touring the area on the Ohio River. Captain Kevin was the best, most knowlegeable tour guide. So many great restaurants and music venues centrally located to the house. One of the best rentals we have every stayed at - can't go wrong booking here.

This house was great, it was super clean, the kitchen was great, and the furniture was very nice. We were able to walk to the convention center in 15 min, with no need for an UBER. The sheets on the bed are quite nice, hotel quality, we really enjoyed our stay. Also, the host is very prompt in replying to any messages. There are several restaurants walking distance.

Fun time in Covington, KY

Very comfortable beds and couches. Plenty of kitchen utensils and bathroom towels. Easy to walk to restaurants and over to Cincinnati. Would be helpful to have known that there was road parking, though the upside, never a problem to find a spot right in front of house. Would be helpful to know that both set of stairs are very steep.

Walkable to stadium

Very clean and lots of room. Comfy bed/pillows. Plenty of clean towels/linens. Kitchen has most amenities but we brought our own Keurig. Great location. Close to the stadium and also shops and restaurants. Minor notes: All bedrooms are on the 2nd floor, upstairs can get really warm, couch not the softest.
