The Blue House – Eclectic Art Haven Near Marshall & Huntington’s Best Parks


Welcome to The Blue House, an inviting 1927 home located just minutes from Marshall University and perfectly positioned between Ritter Park and Memorial Park in one of Huntington’s most historic, walkable neighborhoods. A scenic path right outside the front door provides effortless access to both parks’ trails, gardens, and green space—ideal for dog owners, runners, and nature lovers.

Inside, the home features a curated blend of original local artwork, hand-selected antiques, and eclectic vintage décor, giving every room warmth, creativity, and personality. Cozy reading nooks, vintage lamps, books, and a record-listening room create a truly distinctive and welcoming atmosphere.

The home includes 3 bedrooms (King, Full, Full), a dining room for six, a fully stocked kitchen, one full bath with a walk-in shower, and a half bath. Amenities include 1 Gbps high-speed internet, a smart TV with Peacock, a full-size washer and dryer, and a whole-house generator. Smoking is allowed on the back patio; vaping is permitted indoors. (Please note that the full bath and all bedrooms are located on the second floor.)

Outside, enjoy a private fenced backyard, covered patio seating, seasonal gardens, and off-street parking for two. We are genuinely pet-friendly—no fees, no weight limits, and protective covers/blankets provided.

For longer visits, we offer preferred extended-stay rates: 10% for week-long stays and 20% for month-long stays. We provide a mid-cenrury modern work desk and chair in the master bedroom, overlooking the creek and nature trail, for guests who work from home. The Blue house is an older home so the upstairs heats up and cools down slower than downstairs so please don't forget to adjust the temperature an hour before bedtime. Also, if you like our eclectic furniture and decor please pay a visit to the Sloane Square Gallery on 14th Street West it was our source for all things antique, vintage, and cool.

With years of hosting experience, we’re committed to providing a clean, beautifully maintained, art-forward home where guests feel both comfortable and inspired. To explore our other rentals, read guest reviews, and access direct booking links, visit www.cemvacationrentals.com.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

What a gem. Honestly. This was the best short stay rental we’ve ever had, and we travel constantly. The home is gorgeous, spotless, wonderfully decorated, comfortable, well stocked, inviting, warm, centrally located, and a real treat, in our opinion, for anyone who has the privilege of experiencing it. Seriously, book it, and enjoy!

Great place to stay in Huntington. We asked quite a few questions, and the hosts always got back to us within 15 minutes. Property was fully stocked with just about anything you need. We brought our dog, and he loved the back yard and trail across the street.

We traveled to Huntington for a weekend event. This home was very clean, very well maintained, and in a perfect location. It is spacious, the hosts had snacks they provided, coffee, and they quickly responded to inquiries. If we travel back to the area in the future we would definitely stay here again.

The blue house is beautifully decorated, very well equipped, and in an excellent location. If traveling with pets, access to the Ritter Park trail directly across the street is an added bonus! The house was very clean and spacious, with a fully fenced backyard. The hosts were great and responded quickly to questions. I highly recommend this property!
