Welcome to The Lakeman - A Stunning 1895 Northside Treasure
Discover the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury in this completely reimagined 1,344 sq ft Northside home. This isn't just a renovation - it's a labor of love that took this beautiful 1895 home down to the studs while preserving every ounce of character that makes century-old homes so captivating. Whether you're visiting family at UC or Xavier, catching a Reds or Bengals game, exploring Cincinnati's vibrant food and arts scene, or simply seeking an authentic neighborhood experience - The Lakeman offers the perfect home base.
THE SPACE - DESIGNED FOR GATHERING

The kitchen, dining room, and living room flow together seamlessly in one light-filled, spacious area (1,344 sq ft total) that's absolutely perfect for families and groups. This layout is ideal whether you're cooking a big breakfast together, hosting game night around the dining table, working remotely while staying connected to your family, or simply relaxing after a day exploring Cincinnati - this inviting space brings everyone together naturally.

Foire aux questions
Qui vous reçoit ?
Vous êtes reçu par Mike Hoyle
Hi! We're Mike and Amy, and The Lakeman represents something really special to us - it's a story of family, connection, and second chances.
Amy and have called Cincinnati home for more than 3 decades and we are passionate about sharing Cincinnati with visitors and helping guests experience the vibrant culture, amazing restaurants, and unique neighborhoods that make this city so special.
But the heart of The Lakeman's story is about me (Mike) and my son Evan. Like many fathers and sons, we went through a really rough patch during Evan's early teen years - the kind where you wonder if you'll ever connect again. I hoped that building and renovating houses together could became our bridge back to each other. So I asked Evan if he'd help me renovate homes including this 1895 Northside home.
Taking this house down to the studs and rebuilding it together changed everything. Working side-by-side, problem-solving, learning new skills, seeing something beautiful emerge from hard work - it gave us a way to communicate when words didn't come easily. Every wall we opened up, every system we replaced, every detail we got right brought us closer together.
Evan is now "retired" from renovation work - he's graduated from university and started his career - but what we built together goes far beyond this house. The Lakeman represents the relationship we rebuilt, the lessons we learned, and the second chance we got to really know each other.
When you stay here, you're staying in a home that was literally built with love, patience, and the determination to bridge a gap that once felt impossible to cross. We preserved the historic character because we believe in honoring what came before while building something better for the future - that's true for both old houses and family relationships.
We pour that same care into hosting. We want your stay to be comfortable, memorable, and filled with the warmth that went into creating this space.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
Northside is hands-down one of Cincinnati's most unique and exciting neighborhoods, and I chose this location very intentionally!
What makes Northside special is its incredible walkability combined with authentic neighborhood character. You're not staying in a tourist area or a cookie-cutter suburb - you're in a real, vibrant community where locals actually live, work, and play. Within a few blocks of The Lakeman, you can walk to:
Amazing independent restaurants serving everything from authentic tacos to craft pizza to upscale dining
Craft breweries and taprooms where you'll meet friendly locals (try the Northside Yacht Club or Municipal Brew Works!)
Quirky coffee shops perfect for morning pastries or remote work sessions
Vintage boutiques, record stores, and unique shops you won't find anywhere else
Live music venues hosting local and touring bands
Beautiful murals and street art throughout the neighborhood
But here's what I love most: Northside has soul. It's diverse, creative, welcoming, and unapologetically itself. You'll see the LGBTQ+ pride flags, the community activism, the annual festivals like the 4th of July Parade and Rock 'n' Roll Carnival that bring everyone together. It's the kind of place where neighbors know each other and visitors are welcomed warmly.
The location is also incredibly practical. You get that walkable, urban neighborhood vibe, but you're still just minutes from downtown Cincinnati, UC, Xavier, the stadiums, hospitals, and major highways. You can walk to dinner and drinks in Northside, then drive 10 minutes to catch a Reds game or visit family at UC.
Plus, off-street parking for 3 cars is almost unheard of in such a walkable area - that's a huge advantage!
Northside offers the best of both worlds: authentic local living with easy access to everything Cincinnati has to offer.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
The Lakeman stands out for several reasons:
This wasn't a cosmetic flip - we took this 1895 home completely down to the studs and rebuilt it right. Every system is new (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), every appliance is modern, but we preserved the historic character that makes old homes so charming. You get the best of both worlds: the beauty and character of a century-old Northside home with the comfort and reliability of modern construction.
Most historic homes have closed-off, choppy layouts. We created a stunning open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area that's flooded with natural light and perfect for groups.
The main-floor bedroom with backyard access isn't just convenient - it's a game-changer for guests with mobility concerns, older family members, or anyone who simply prefers to avoid stairs. Combined with the half bath on the main floor, it makes the house genuinely accessible and comfortable for everyone.
You're in the heart of walkable Northside with restaurants and bars just blocks away, but the specific street is quiet and residential. You get the vibrant neighborhood energy without the noise. Plus, that 3-car off-street parking is almost impossible to find in such a walkable area.
The fully-fenced backyard means your dogs can play safely off-leash - a huge plus for pet parents. Most urban rentals don't offer this.
We don't skimp on the details: quality mattresses with upgraded bedding, fast WiFi, smart TV, in-unit laundry, fully-stocked kitchen, toiletries provided. We've thought through what guests actually need and want.
With 3+ years of hosting and 150+ five-star reviews, I know how to make stays smooth and stress-free. I'm quick to respond and genuinely care about your experience.
The Lakeman offers something rare: authentic historic character, modern luxury, brilliant layout, prime location, and hosting that truly cares.
