Six Acres Bed & Breakfast

I would highly recommend Six Acres and will be back as soon as I get a chance...the food at breakfast was almost as good as the conversation...beautiful areas to walk right next door...with a National Forest a short drive away...accessible on Cincy public transport...many good restaurants within a few miles north or south...

We were greeted with warm chocolate chip cookies and hot tea. YUM! The innkeepers are very knowledgeable about the history of the home which was part of the Underground Railroad. Very nteresting and they also made suggestions where to visit, hikes, sites to see, etc. Great food! It was very homey and they were very hospitable. We would go back!

Very nice stay at six acres. The company, conversation and and character of this old house made it feel unique and authentic. Thanks for giving us the detailed driving instructions. The Underground Railroad Museum should be featuring your inn.

I tag along with my hubby on some of his business trips, and our stay at Six Acres was one of those trips. He planned to stay at a hotel (borring), so I suggested A B&B; why stay somewhere that is cold and impersonal, when we could stay somewhere cozy, warm, welcoming, and get a homemade breakfast? Six Acres exceeded all expectations! Mark, our night innkeeper is full of the rich history surrounding Six Acres, and its part in the Underground Railroad. Mona, our breakfast chef made the most fantastic breakfast (yummy souff

The room was even lovlier than the pictures, and the view outside the bay window was beautiful. The bed and bathtub were enormous, and the bathroom was bigger than my dining room back home. I loved the cushy bathrobe on the hook in the bathroom. However, some little things were missing that should have been there: no soap, no handcreams or shampoos or bubble baths. There was a basket but it was empty. They found me some things after I asked, but they seemed to be in short supply. And the room smelled musty because there was a leak in the ceiling of the laundry room next door. The food was delicious, although dinner cost $10.00 more than the website said it would. The staff brought me a fudge brownie with a lit candle in it, after dinner, and sang "Happy Birthday" when they realized it was my birthday. That was a thoughtful, wonderful touch. I also got a delightful impromptu tour and history from one of the managers, when I asked about the connection of the house to the Underground Railroad. Our conversations, that night and the next morning, were the highlight of my visit. All in all, I enjoyed my stay very much. A couple little details could have made it even better, but I did come on the off season and there was just a skeleton crew available. The plusses by far outweighed the minusses.

This is a great b & b in Cincinnati--great food and sweet rooms. I had a very relaxing stay and so enjoyed the house and company--thank you!!

My Girlfriends and I selected Six Acres because we wanted a chance to get together and spend time but also be in the city for great food! Not only were our rooms nice and cozy....we had a awesome time and Kristin and Mona were great cooks! Mona sang songs from the Underground Railroad after breakfast and really gave us an awesome history lesson. Six Acres is more than just a bed and breakfast because the innkeeper and her staff are so knowledgeable about the history of the house and Cincinnati during that time. I recommend this place for anyone to anyone who love history, young and old!!!!

Kristin is AWESOME. We had a great time and Kristin made us feel right at home. I would recommend this Bed and Breakfast for everyone. We also recommend taking the Underground Railroad Tour. We could not make the whole tour during our stay but plan to go back!!!

Loved our stay...the property is lovely, and our appreciation skyrocketed when we learned its history. The owner is delightful, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. We would definitely go back!

I thought bed and breakfasts were supposed to be beautiful. I love history, but this place needs someone who can take care of it. Dollar Store decor, crooked pictures and lamp shades. Clean dinner ware, bath tubs, real soap would have been nice.

Loved staying in Annie's Suite. Kristen was very interesting and helpful. I thought that Six Acres was an excellent value. The breakfasts were outstanding! Would definitely return to this B&B.

The story of the home is very interesting, but there were many things that needed to be repaired: Back porch was unstable, some electric wiring was inadequate. The hostess was great, but food could have been more interesting and tasteful.

I made my reservation on a recommendation from a family member. I was happily surprised when we arrived. The house is warm and inviting and the innkeeper is as well. It was booked to capacity the weeekend I was there and it was nice and cozy. Ms. Kitchen was attentive to all the guests individually and yet made it feel inviting as a whole. She met all the needs and did so w/a smile on her face the entire time. I stayed in the "7 acres" site. The back is enveloped in trees and shading and was a beautiful way to wake up that Sunday morning and have the sun streaming through the sheers and curtains. Lovely! I look foward to visiting again.

It was an honor to stay at a home that had been a part of the underground railroad. The owner provided stories and details that truly enriched our overnight stay

Told we didn't have a room after we got there, but was confirmed by Bed & Breakfast.com. Was emailed later that they had no room but was off computer by then. Since everything was booked up in the area, we took a room they had with a shared bathroom. The bathroom door did not stay closed and the lock did not work. Someone had to stand outside the bathroom door to use the restroom. Not happy with our stay.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Six Acres. The house is lovely and the food was grand. We treated our adult children to breakfast at the house and they too were delighted.

My small family had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful B&B over our Spring Break. We have two young daughters and it is sometimes difficult to find B&B's (our preferred lodging type) amenable to accommodating children. Kristin, the innkeeper, was more than amenable and extremely hospitable. We just loved her and the house. We actually stayed in the annex, Seven Acres, and it was perfect as we had our own kitchen, two bedrooms and two full baths - a real home away from home!!! We're actually moving to Cincinnati this summer, so not sure if we'll get to take advantage of this great place again ourselves (well, maybe a romantic weekend if we're lucky), but we'll definitely be sending our family Kristin's way when they come visiting :))

Six Acres is a beautifully-restored historic home, easily accessible to all areas of Cincinnati. From the moment the deer crossed the driveway as we pulled up, it was a magical stay. The rooms are lovely and comfortable, nicer than I expected for the very reasonable price. We were greeted with warm brownies, and received an even warmer welcome from Kristen, the innkeeper. The tour of the home with its authentic underground railroad hiding room was an excellent counterpart to our visit to the National Freedom Center museum. Kristen was full of interesting information and conversation, and really made us feel more like we were staying in the home of an old friend. We will definitely be back!!

This is a unique B&B. The location, house and owner are each interesting and enjoyable.

Six Acres is convenient to downtown Cincinnati, less expensive than a hotel during the week, and much friendlier. I enjoyed chatting with Kristin, the owner, and she was more than willing to accommodate my food preferences for breakfast. I will definitely stay here again.

This is a great place to stay if you are in the Cincinnati area. It is easily accessed but sits off the road and backs up into a lovely wooded area. Some of the "rooms" available are actually full floors with kitchen and living room areas. Kristen Kitchen is a warm and friendly innkeeper who serves a wonderful breakfast. Thanks to her, this beautiful home has been preserved. My only caution is that the lower level of the 7th Acre that we rented, really only sleeps 3 unless someone wants to use the sofa. It was listed as up to 4 persons. But we had an abundance of room and the kitchen came in very handy during our Thanksgiving family preparations at my sister's home nearby.

Location was my only consideration in choosing Six Acres (walking distance to my friends' place). So I didn't expect my stay there would be so nice. My room was large, comfortable and very well designed with an eclectic mix of turn-of-the-19th century furnishings. Firm bed; good light for reading; plenty of hot water and good pressure. A mid-week guest, I monopolized Kristin's conversation; we exchanged remodeling tips and stories of wild animals in the city - I repeat her stories about Cincinnati bear sitings every chance I get. About location; Six Acres is located on a ridge overlooking Hamilton Ave and the LaBoiteaux Forest Preserve. An excellent site for a home or B&B. And a great base for checking out fall colors. The adjacent forest preserve is especially nice (fall colors are dense at the base of the ravine).

We wanted somewhere to feel out of the city, yet to be close enough to site see all we wanted. This location worked well for that. Even though you are inside the city limit you feel alittle more in the country with the way the home is located on the main streets.. Kristin the owner is a true joy...

The Bed & Breakfast was very beautiful & relaxing! The innkeeper made us feel so welcome! We definitely would like to return.

My husband and I had a lovely, spacious room and extremely comfortable king-sized bed at this b&b. It was about 15 minutes from downtown Cincinnati, in a residential neighborhood, so not in the middle of things, and that is what we were looking for during our vacation. The property was private and expansive (I could see how weddings and receptions would be delightful there). The best thing about the house is its owner and its history. The house was used during the Civil War as part of the underground railroad; thus, it housed slaves escaping to the North. The attic remains unaltered to honor those who were hidden there. Kristin Kitchen, the innkeeper, is a charming person, fabulous chef, extremely well-spoken and knowledgeable about the inn, her business and planned additional business opportunities that she can pursue in conjunction with her inn. A definite gem!

We always enjoy our stay with Kristin and her staff!!! The service, rooms and food are always TOP notch and she knows how to treat people! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We found this B&B on the internet and did not know anything about it when we booked. Just needed a little R&R. We were delighted to find out that it was part of the Underground Railroad. Ms. Kristin was so knowledgeable about the UGRR, the house and African-American history that we were amazed. I'm a teacher and was thrilled to be able to take pictures and gain information that I can use in my classroom. It was a wonderful time for my husband and I to relax and enjoy some downtime. I recommend this B&B to all.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Six Acres. The room itself was very large, featuring a King sized bed – a rarity for a B&B. The breakfast was excellent and well portioned, featuring eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, and muffins. The staff is what really makes Six Acres special. They were a delight to talk to, and the inn keeper is full of personality. She’s what really makes the stay special, so make sure you get a chance to talk with her. We would definitely consider staying at Six Acres again in the future.

Nice people, but the property needs some attention. There were leaks (including buckets to catch the water) in the dining room due to the recent heavy snow. Although the room was nicely appointed and warm (large space heater), the rest of the house was chilly and appeared to be heated by individual space heaters.

First the pictures cannot do justice in conveying the ambience at Six Acres. The house and related properties are absolutely gordeous! the staff was delightful and the owner is so knowledgeable and personable. I didn't want to leave. There is so much history there. I travel to B&B's in my profession but will return for any purpose that brings me to the area. I definately reccomend Six Acres.

This was a most pleasant stay for us. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the company very much. The room was more than adequate, the food wonderful, and the decorating most intriguing. We would definitely stay again.

Delightful people! Great history and stories. We stayed at the separate house (Anne "room") -- most spacious. Beautiful. Breakfast was variety yet unpretentious. Delicious. Lots of parking. Enjoyable hiking adjacent.
