Sometimes you need to get away from it all without leaving home. And to do that, you need to leave your literal home and move into someone else’s for a little staycation.

To help on your quest for some local lounging and respite, we’ve rounded up a collection of cool Greater Cincinnati Airbnbs. Some are certified “Airbnb Plus” — meaning they have been “verified for quality and design” — and some are just top-rated stays we think are pretty dang cute.
