The Primrose Bed and Breakfast is housed in a beautifully restored Victorian-style home, originally built in 1892 by Dr. Isaac Porter Primrose, a prominent local physician. It was once both his doctor's office and family home. After over a century as a private residence, the home was lovingly restored to its current role as a Bed & Breakfast, blending historical charm with modern comforts. Along with the Hyde House, the Primrose House is one of the oldest homes in Nelsonville, adding to the historical allure of the area.
When you step inside, you’ll immediately notice the gorgeous oak trim, gleaming hardwood floors, and intricate stained-glass transoms that adorn the windows. The original kitchen cabinets with marble countertops and the antique stove/oven maintain the home's historic character while offering a glimpse into its rich past. The atmosphere of the home invites relaxation, whether you're enjoying a peaceful moment in the sitting room playing chess, or soaking in the ambiance of the beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces.
Our outdoor spaces are just as inviting as the interior, with patios, decks, and a stunning botanical backyard garden where guests can unwind. Whether you're sipping a cup of tea or enjoying a meal from a local restaurant, the garden provides the perfect setting for a tranquil escape.

Beautiful home. Was kind of difficult to find the check-in location and opening hours differed. The room was great. Very roomy and great amenities. There was also a car charger just 1 block away from the property for easy free overnight charging. Would definately be back
Quiet, Clean, convenient location to hocking and Athens, all amenities were included, breakfast was great. Although we were in a house with others, we had our quiet space, and the house was lovely.

We had a wonderful stay. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. It was so nice to have breakfast provided and to be able to enjoy it in such a historical atmosphere. Would difinitely return.
We enjoyed a two night stay to celebrate our anniversary. The master suite was comfortable, spacious and exactly as advertised. The host was friendly and the breakfast was delicious. We would definitely book this location again and recommend it for an anniversary or honeymoon getaway.
We would definitely stay again! Fun experience but the hot tub was unfortunately not working on the property but they allowed us to go across the street and use the other property’s and the door knob to our room was a pain but overall a good stay.
we really enjoy our stay and the other couple that stay there as wellelln
parking a little small , room ok , host was great , a little difficult to check in specially with the carnnaval in town . our next visit will probably be in a different town with more restaurant and closer to the activity.
It was nice the girl who made the breakfast was friendly and the food was good. The room was very spacious and nice.We missed the email about check in so the check in was different than what we normally do. Thankfully, our phone call was answered immediately and they told us what to do to get checked in.
The property was clean, the other guests were friendly, and our room was just like the pictures. I'm very happy I had the opportunity to visit Hocking Hills while staying here, in Nelsonville. A special thanks to the staff, who prepared a great breakfast and had wonderful recommendations of places to see!
My whole experience was amazing. Great breakfast and the most amazing hot tub. Very clean and beautiful. And this area was great. And easy to get around.
The neighborhood is quiet and the property was decently maintained. The bed in our bedroom was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The hostess is not gifted with hospitality but she was very nice.
