Perfect Stay!

I could not have found a more perfect property in which to stay. The house is simply beautiful and the location cannot be beat! We spent many mornings and evenings on the large porch overlooking the gazebo and river in the distance. The house and owners provided everything we needed and could've wanted, the beds and sitting areas were comfortable and the main part of town was so close. I can't wait to return!

Girls Getaway to Marietta

The house was great. Very roomy and comfortable for our group of 6. Loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the great weather. Took a walking tour of Marietta and visited quite a few great sites. Lots of shopping and dining options within walking distance of the house. We even got to watch homecoming in the park across the street as the students gathered for pictures.

Hope to stay here again.

This is just a really nice house with a lot of character, located across the street from a very pretty park, a two-minute walk to a good ice cream store, about five minutes walk to downtown, maybe three minute drive (or 15 minute walk?) to Marietta College. It has a lot of character and nice old-fashioned charm. Sitting on the big porch watching the river flow and doing a puzzle was wonderful.

Historic home in lovely Historic Town

It was very befitting to spend the weekend in such a lovely historic home while exploring the history rich town of Marietta. We first noticed the many beautiful features of this spacious home and soon found we would have everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Communication with the owner was easy as was check in. Cleanliness and comfortable bedding are important to us and we weren’t disappointed with either here. We loved sitting on the porch across from the park as well as being able to walk into downtown Marietta.

Step Back Into Time

What a great restored old home. Wish the owner would have listed some of the history of the house. Big enough for a bed and breakfast, but it's all yours. Well furnished , clean, and comfortable. Kitchen/ kitchenette is limited.

Historic charmer in prime Marietta location

Large, comfortable historic home within walking distance of many Marietta treasures and restaurants. Comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and functional bathrooms made for a delightful stay. Kitchen is small and a bit awkward but workable. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect Location

Parkview House was the ideal location for walking to shops and restaurants, and for enjoying the trail by the river. The house worked well for our group of 8 adults guests. The 2 bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms were appreciated. The butlers pantry made a functional kitchenette with microwave, toaster oven and griddle (no range/oven). By far, our favorite place in the house was the front porch! We loved morning coffee and afternoon happy hour as we enjoyed watching and listening to the acitvities in the park.The stairs were challenging for my 85 year old mother, so the downstairs bathroom was really nice. The loving care and upkeep of the house was obvious. We recommend staying here if you are visiting Marietta.

Gorgeous home

What an amazing place. The home is beautiful. It's a step back in time. Group of 5 so we had more than enough room. Great location. The front porch is the best. Overlooks a park with lots of activity. So relaxing to just sit and watch what's happening. Also great location. The stairway in this home and the chandeliers are beautiful. Loved this home.

Beautiful home in perfect location

This is an absolutely beautiful home. The location is perfect for anything you want to do in Marietta. We loved sitting on the front porch and enjoying the view. The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Beds were comfortable. The room advertised as having 2 twin beds actually had one twin with a trundle. Very small room so not suitable for 2 adults. Kitchen was quite small, but fine for us as we weren’t cooking there. Otherwise, we loved everything and would definitely stay there again.
