About this property

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Yes, we did not take our dogs on this trip; however, the property was very pet friendly. My wife was sorry we didn’t bring them along.

About the host

Hosted by Damon & Jamie Martin

Host profile image
We didn't travel often for years because our large dogs were not allowed in many places. That's why we now provide comfortable, clean spaces for people to travel with their pets. We know that no vacation is a happy one if you have to leave your best friends behind, and a work trip is lonely without them. That's one reason why we started our business, CEM Vacation Rentals, to provide beautiful spaces where guests can enjoy adventures with their furry loved ones. If you have Maine on your bucket list, and would like to check out our locations there, please go to www.cemvacationrentals.com.

Why they chose this property

We actually lived here for 6 years and really enjoyed walking our dogs in the park and watching the wildlife on the creek. It is a quiet neighborhood with nice people and we loved being surrounded by all of the historic homes and the natural beauty of the area.

What makes this property unique

We love antique/vintage everything, books, art, music, and have filled this home with things that delight us. We hope that you will enjoy them just as much.
