    The home was built in late 1800's. We loved the charm of it. It has the wear of an older home, but it was cozy, the room we stayed in was one of the small ones, with a full bath. for a night or two stay, it is nice. access to the living room with a cd player, coffee machine in the dining room with a large table for breakfast guests. Books and games available. The breakfast was buffet style, served by a pleasant staff. I would definitely go back. It's a nice short walk to town in 5 minutes.

    It was immediately apparent when we entered the house that the place was CLEAN and well-kept. The same was true of our room and attached bathroom. Breakfast was basic but good: eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, white & brown bread for toast with a variety of jams, etc. Good coffee and a wide variety of teas. Primrose is literally a frisbee's throw away from the Stuart Opera House, where my wife and I attended a concert -- an easy walk. There are a couple of restaurants on the square with the Opera House, although you may need to drive to another part of town if you're looking for something in particular (e.g. Mexican food). My wife and I enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again if our plans take us to Nelsonville.

    Location convenient to Mammoth March at Burr Oak State Park, great breakfast in the mornings, hot tub was nice but only one jet was working. Nice to meet other people staying at the B&B though.

    Primrose Path was a nice B&B. The room was clean and the bathroom was modern and updated. The only drawback was the window a/c unit - which was noisy and blowed on us all night. Also no TV remote to lower volume (just Roku remote).

    We have always stayed at hotels when we travel but I wanted to something different! I am so glad I did. The house was beautiful with lots of character. The staff was super nice and accommodating. I definitely recommend this property and will be coming back!

    Clean older B&B with pretty wooden stair case, smaller room/private bath, barking dogs outside that calmed down after a while, quiet street within walking to center of Nelsonville, home cooked breakfast tasted industrial with under cooked hash browns, cold eggs and pancakes. Coffee was good. Fresh berries were good, Shower was good. Could not open a window painted shut. Ok place to stay with no bed bugs when all of Athens is booked up.

    The description mentioned sitting on the front porch swing and relaxing in the hot tub while enjoying the garden. The front porch was in shambles. No swing or furniture was available. The hot tub had an unsafe cover made of rubber(?) and slats of wood with large splinters. There was no garden and the lounge chair near the hot tub was a mess of different colors of pealing paint. We called the property manager and VRBO without any resolution. We had booked for two nights but left after the first. DO NOT waste your money on this property.

    We enjoy the yummy breakfast. It included eggs, biscuits, gravy, french toast, sausage, bacon, and a berry mix. I have a lovely stay in our room the path. It had a working tv, comfy bed, and a nice shower/tub. It was all very clean and tidy. We enjoyed sleeping with the soft fleece blanket. The room also had shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Thanks so much for having us! We will be back!

    Our stay at primrose was very relaxed. The rooms were clean, breakfast was provided during the weekend, which was delicious, and other travelers and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back.

    Our stay was good. The bed was a little hard and breakfast was fair. We liked the location in Nelsonville. Was easy to walk to restaurant and we enjoyed seeing a local play. We were glad we found a place to stay.

    Decent place and location. Older home that could stand a bit of TLC. Good breakfast and nice cook/cleaner. Check-in process is a bit strange for a B&B and no host on-site upon arrival.
