The Carriage House was the first property to be owned and operated by GW. We purchased the building in June of 2018 and spent several months transforming it into a luxury rental property in the heart of Over-The-Rhine. Initially intended to be a side project, we accomplished the renovation over many flights back and forth between Los Angeles and Cincinnati with the help of an amazing local team.
Once the carriage house to an adjacent building, the property had most recently been used as a very small office building prior to sitting vacant for over five years. We viewed the interior as a blank slate with historic charm, and set out to design a luxury rental that would provide a private hospitality experience to guests and breath life back into a building that had been underutilized for so long.
The first floor was converted into an open-plan living area with spacious kitchen. Custom blue cabinets with vintage hardware and playful wallpaper add color to an otherwise crisp white palette. Upstairs, what was formerly two offices became a large master bedroom and bath with Moroccan tile and a clawfoot tub. New Italian herringbone floors throughout connected the spaces and helped blend modern and historic details.
The Carriage House opened in March 2019 and has since hosted many wonderful guests, been the setting of beautiful private events, and received over 50 five-star reviews. In October it was featured in Cincinnati Refined, which referred to it as “Pendleton’s Prettiest Airbnb”.
