At the Primrose Bed & Breakfast, guests are welcomed to a beautiful peach colored home with a large, spacious front porch with a porch swing. This 1892 home was built by Dr. Isaac Porter Primrose. It was once his doctor’s office and the home to his family. After being a residence for over a century, the home was completely restored as a beautiful Bed & Breakfast. The Primrose House, along with the Hyde House, are two of the oldest homes in Nelsonville.
Upon entering the home, guests will notice the gorgeous oak trim, hardwood floors, colorful stained glass transoms, original kitchen cabinets with marble countertops, and the beautiful antique stove/oven. There is a dining area where homemade breakfast is served each morning, a sitting room where guests can play a game of chess, and lovely outdoor spaces with patios, decks, and a beautiful botanical backyard garden where guests can spend time relaxing, unwinding, or enjoying a take home meal from a local restaurant.
This was our first experience at a bed & breakfast and it was wonderful! Jennifer is a great hostess spoiling us with her fabulous breakfasts. The house was very comfortable and the location was perfect! Nelsonville has so much history. We will definitely be back!
Everything was very clean. The breakfasts were large and great!! We did not need to have lunch! Very nice, well managed home. We had a late check in, and they had to meet us there. They arrived 20 minutes ahead of our arrival time. would like to have hangers in our closet. Would like to stay here again!
The whole experience was a new one for use so it’s hard to compare, but overall things went well and the breakfast was worth the extra few dollars.
My wife and I took a weekend hiking getaway from Dayton just before Halloween. The Primrose House is VERY clean, food is excellent! Big value here, located close to dozens of great trails (check out Burr Oak!). Nelsonville is very friendly and easy to navigate...good food in town too!
Great place
The house was great. The neighborhood was not great.
We enjoyed our stay in Nelsonville while we explored Hocking Hills and the surrounding area. Breakfast was delicous and coffee was ready to go. We enjoyed sitting on the porch relaxing in the early evening and walked downtown for dinner at Rhapsody. Dinner and service there was great!
Great stay in a old Victorian Town property with it’s old bones giving off all the typical queaks and squeaks. Breakfast was great with Angel and Cherokee, the conversations were even better yet. Property is in Nelsonville which is quiet and quaint but still within range of parks. We would go back.
Nice stay...wonderful old house!
Fun and relaxing!
My husband and I were in the area for a weekend getaway. It was our first experience at a bed and breakfast so we weren’t sure what to expect. Well, a B&B is not for us. We were super uncomfortable staying in a house with other people (especially for an anniversary getaway). You have your own room and bathroom, which was nice, but still not our cup of tea. The room and bathroom were clean and the breakfast was delicious, but we did have one surprise! When we woke up we were surprised to find that our bag of chocolates had been opened, by a mouse! Management was super nice and upgraded us to a cabin, which was much more our style! So, in the end, we were thankful for the little mouse! We would definitely use 1st choice cabins again, just not the B&B. The staff are very friendly and go above and beyond!
Enjoyable stay with attentive owners. The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean. Wonderful homemade breakfast that changed every day. Enjoyed the hot tub after long days of hiking. This was an easy drive to Athens, lake hope, and hocking hills.
Great stay at B&B!!! Jennifer was excellent host/cook!! Breakfast was awesome both days with biscuits and gravy were super!! Room was ver up nice and house was period correct with renovations! Will stay with Jennifer and her team again!!! A+++++++
