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.
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.

About the host
Hosted by Damon & Jamie Martin
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.
