Gaslight Bed & Breakfast

I have been trying for 4 or 5 days to make contact via phone and email but cannot get a response to make a reservation. I’m left to assume that the date and room requested is already booked and it’s too much trouble to actually respond to let me know. So much for a night away on a very special birthday.

We were looking to stay somewhere with a unique atmosphere, and the Gaslight B&B hits the target. Maria is an engaging, talkative host who is as present as you desire. Upon arrival, she gave us a quick tour and left us to our own devices. We stayed in the Rebecca room on the front of the house, with its high bed and big fireplace. It was very comfortable and quiet, with plenty of room to spread out and an armoire to store clothes in.
We «shared» a bathroom with another room, however, the bathroom is off a central landing, and Maria is in and out cleaning after it’s been used, so we never encountered the other guest. We also had a reduced rate because we shared the bathroom!
Breakfast was a great spread in a comfortable third floor kitchen; I only wish I’d had more of an appetitie in the morning.
There’s a fridge on the second floor with refreshments that came in handy when we returned late one night, and when we departed for the road.
We had a great time staying and are looking forward to trying out the other rooms. We like funky, older and restored houses, and the unique and quirky individuals who love and take care of them, so this was the place for us!
Note: parking is on the street, and there’s plenty of it in the neighborhood.

I would love to give this B & B more stars, but with the Clifton House B & B just minutes away it is hard to.
Owner cornered me at the doorway of my room and gave me the third degree about where my friends and I were having dinner. Asked why we chose the restaurant we chose. Asked why we didn’t choose Olives. I told him my thoughts on Olives (not a fan). After, he informed me he owns Olives. It was just uncomfortable with him seeking out information right in the doorway of my room, for at least 5 — 10 minutes while I unpacked a bag.
Then they asked us to not walk around in the top floor living room after 10 pm because their bedroom was right below us.
And breakfast was meh.
All in all, go to Clifton House. Much more refined service and a much more welcoming atmosphere.

Seriously??? First to review? OK then. When I think «Cincinnati», I think: historic, hillly, (some parts) charming, warm, friendly and inviting. The Gaslight was ALL of those things. Our host Maria was accommodating (we got in very late), attentive (whipped up a fantastic apple Dutch baby with sausage and fruit for breakfast) and very comfortable (heavenly king bed on the top floor of a passionate and quirkly (?) decorated palatial historic residence). We had a lovely short visit, it was a fair bargain and we’ll definitely be returning!

Just finished our second stay at the Gaslight. Scott and Maria are great hosts, and Maria is a fantastic cook! We live only 15 minutes away, and enjoy going to the Gaslight just for an escape. The house is beautiful, and the furnishings are first rate. You won’t be disappointed!
