The Primrose Bed and Breakfast is housed in a beautifully restored Victorian-style home, originally built in 1892 by Dr. Isaac Porter Primrose, a prominent local physician. It was once both his doctor's office and family home. After over a century as a private residence, the home was lovingly restored to its current role as a Bed & Breakfast, blending historical charm with modern comforts. Along with the Hyde House, the Primrose House is one of the oldest homes in Nelsonville, adding to the historical allure of the area.

When you step inside, you’ll immediately notice the gorgeous oak trim, gleaming hardwood floors, and intricate stained-glass transoms that adorn the windows. The original kitchen cabinets with marble countertops and the antique stove/oven maintain the home's historic character while offering a glimpse into its rich past. The atmosphere of the home invites relaxation, whether you're enjoying a peaceful moment in the sitting room playing chess, or soaking in the ambiance of the beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces.

Our outdoor spaces are just as inviting as the interior, with patios, decks, and a stunning botanical backyard garden where guests can unwind. Whether you're sipping a cup of tea or enjoying a meal from a local restaurant, the garden provides the perfect setting for a tranquil escape.

At Primrose Bed & Breakfast, we offer more than just a place to stay; we provide an experience—a chance to immerse yourself in the rich history of Nelsonville, relax in the comfort of a lovingly restored home, and explore the natural beauty of Hocking Hills. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, you'll find comfort, charm, and a warm welcome at our beautiful Bed & Breakfast.

    The neighborhood is quiet and the property was decently maintained. The bed in our bedroom was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The hostess is not gifted with hospitality but she was very nice.

    Jennifer was our host for the weekend and did all the cooking. She even came in on Memorial Day and cooked us breakfast when she didn't have to! Our room was very clean and right off the main hallway. Had a great time and met some wonderful couples over breakfast. Didn't hang around the property much as we were very busy in the area. Next time we would use the hot tub which we didn't notice until we were leaving. The only odd thing is having to pickup the keys at the local Outdoor Adventure Pro shop in town, but it all worked out Ok. We had a wonderful time exploring the Hocking Hills region and would come back to this property in the future.

    Beautiful home. Was kind of difficult to find the check-in location and opening hours differed. The room was great. Very roomy and great amenities. There was also a car charger just 1 block away from the property for easy free overnight charging. Would definately be back

    Loved the room very quiet. Learned some about the b&b. The only thing that stunk was that not all the Jets in the hot tub worked.

    It was nice the girl who made the breakfast was friendly and the food was good. The room was very spacious and nice.We missed the email about check in so the check in was different than what we normally do. Thankfully, our phone call was answered immediately and they told us what to do to get checked in.

    We would definitely stay again! Fun experience but the hot tub was unfortunately not working on the property but they allowed us to go across the street and use the other property’s and the door knob to our room was a pain but overall a good stay.

    We really enjoyed our stay! Everyone was super friendly and good about communicating. Jen did an amazing job cooking for all of us and keeping the bed and breakfast clean. It was only disappointing in that we had the room booked for a few weeks, and someone who booked the night before accidentally got our room and we were the ones who had to change to a different one. Mistakes happen and it was not a huge deal to me at all. We still liked the room we ended up in a lot! The jacuzzi was also really nice. I loved that just a block over were really good restaurant selections too, and the property manager gave us really good recommendations for activities! I would stay here again or recommend to others.
