Lovely property that was well maintained and well stocked. The location is perfect for a walk along the river, to the local shopping area, and to the trolley tour. We also enjoyed relaxing on the front porch.

Park View review

Overall it was a great stay. Rooms and beds were comfortable. The house is beautiful with lots of wood trim and floors. Having been built over 100 years ago, it has some quirks, like a tiny toilet room downstairs. There is not a stove, but there is a toaster oven and microwave. The rooms are decorated and spacious. The front porch is very nice and great for sipping coffee and watching Marietta go by.

Girls trip

Celebrating our friends birthday. The house is so lovely. Beautiful woodwork and even the lighting fixtures were so unique and fit the house perfectly. The front porch is great! We sat there and loved the atmosphere. The only drawback was the air conditioning not working in one of the bedrooms and no air conditioning in another bedroom.

The location is great - right across from the park; the front porch is very inviting and the house is beautiful. However only 3 of the 4 bedrooms have air conditioning, and during our stay only 2 of those bedrooms had a working air conditioner, the third spewed debris. We only had 6 towels for 4 people for a 3 night stay. Also, you can only plug in one appliance at a time in the kitchen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
