About this house rental

Ormsby Mitchel was a Major General during the Civil War, and this was his home. He is also the founder of the Cincinnati Observatory which was America's first public observatory. His observation work of the planet Mars has two discoveries named after him (The Mountains of Mitchel on the Mars south pole and the Mitchel crater are named in his honor). The cities of Fort Mitchell Kentucky, Mitchell Indiana, and Mitchelville South Carolina are also named after him.

    I can’t even begin to explain how much my family and I enjoyed staying here. This house was exactly what we were looking for. Gorgeous house, so clean, super cool history behind it! Everything was a small walk away! Charming little town. Hosts were beyond accommodating, helpful and responsive. Would totally stay again! Already recommended it to other family members.

    This house was incredible. Each room had its own aesthetic yet it was all cohesive together as a home. The host was excellently communicative and friendly. They even left snacks in the kitchen! Lots of cute restaurants in the area. Quiet street overall.

    Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay at this lovely VRBO. The pictures are accurate and almost do not do justice to just how beautiful this property is. Located in the heart of downtown Lebanon, this historic home is quite spacious, with 3 bedrooms on the second floor, two updated full bathrooms and an updated kitchen. The air conditioning worked quite well and the beds were very comfortable. The VRBO had everything we needed for our stay, including a washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, range and smart tv’s. The historic downtown is a quick walk away to good restaurants, ice cream shops, coffee bar, and the kind of niche shopping you can only find in a historic town like this. Very walkable, safe area around the home. A Kroger grocery, CVS, gas stations and typical fast food restaurants are only a couple of miles away. Kings Island is about a 15 minute drive and the Cincinnati/Kentucky airport about a 45 minute drive. We loved our stay and only wish we had an extra day to spend in the area.

    Brought my aunt to visit Lebanon and meet up with family. In two short days we felt like we had been at a resort for a week! So nice to have good places to eat/drink within walking distance. The home is decorated perfectly, it’s spotless, and has everything you could need. Will definitely stay here again!

    Lebanon was a very pleasant surprise and the General Mitchel House was lovely. The owners have kept the style and integrity of this historic property but made very comfortable updates to both bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and central air. My daughter said the bed was the most comfortable bed she’s had in several trips. You can rock on the porch and listen to the cicadas or snuggle up on the couches and read up on the history of the area. There are televisions but honestly we didn’t turn them on-too many better ways to spend the time. Downtown is a block away and absolutely charming. Everyone we met was friendly and kind. The atmosphere and food at the Golden Lamb/Black Horse Tavern was very good. Be sure to go upstairs and check out the presidential and other historic suites-Charles Dickens, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, and George W. Bush to name a few. During our stay there was a music festival just down the alley-lots of fun-but most important, from the house we didn’t hear a thing. We will definitely stay here again when in the Cincinnati area. Thanks Mandi and Todd for sharing this wonderful historic home!
