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.

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.

This is a great property and I would love to come back when the weather is warm to enjoy the rooftop deck. It has a fabulous view and it's well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with coffee and water and ice in the refrigerator door.It wasn't an issue with our teens and adults... but there are multi levels and I think that would be scary with toddlers...the only reason I gave it a 4 star for families. Im really just thinking young children. We lived it!

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!
