This was a highly rated and well known Bed & Breakfast for years.
If purchased as furnished, it could be a 'Turn Key' business. 

The furnishings are exquisite. Many are highly desirable antiques. (The home is also available for purchase without furniture.)

The home itself is the best advertisement. It's well known in this region as the Amos Shinkle B&B. As one of the more wealthy industrialists of the previous century, he had the where-with-all to construct the finest quality home in Covington.

Intricate brocaded moldings decorate the ceilings. Faux painted ceilings and walls are a timeless treasure. Looking at the walls in the foyer in the photo at right, what appears to be wood molding lining the walls is actually a delicately painted masterwork.

The grand staircase is an experience in itself. The newel post is elegantly carved with what may be a ring of carved ivory decorating the top. The depth of the tread is deeper than usual. This creates a unique effect that makes one feel they are 'gliding down' the staircase.

The grand living room is supremely elegant, with exquisite ceiling moldings, stunning chandelier, and period furnishings. In the photo at right, there is a room off to the left. That is a game room. A formal dining room can be seen off to the right in the photo.

The kitchen has been designed for serving large groups.

Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Two bedrooms have access to the second story, south facing portico pictured at right. This overlooks a lovely patio with a working fountain.

The rear bedroom has a fantastic view of The Ascent, the ultra-modernist condominium development by architect Daniel Libeskind. The new Great American office building with the illuminated 'tiara' on top is clearly seen from another window in this bedroom.

In addition to the 4 bedrooms in the main house are 4 bedrooms in the carriage house shown at right. Each bedroom in the Carriage House has it's own private bathroom as well.

There is plenty of parking.

Being so near to dozens of corporations, local business have often used the The Shinkle House as an option for visitors to the area.

The home is located in the Licking Riverside Historic District. This is an area of beautiful mansions and row houses amid tree lined, cobbled streets.

Please note: The home is also available to purchase without the furnishings. We estimate however, that to fully re-furnish the home would require a substantial investment.
