My friends and I loved this charming and spacious house in the heart of historic Marietta. Coffee on the porch watching the barges go by was a treat. And good dinning was just a short walk away. A real find!

The house is interesting from a historical perspective. We enjoyed the Victorian furnishings. The bed was comfortable. The host was responsive. The nearby restaurants were excellent, and the views of the rivers were great.On the negative side, there was black mold in the upstairs bathroom near the shower; the iron and board was missing; parts of the front porch were filthy and there were signs of termites.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for staying with us at the Harmar House. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the home’s historic charm, comfortable bed, and convenient location near Marietta’s beautiful riverfront and great restaurants. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. The missing iron and ironing board were unfortunately misplaced before your arrival, but we did provide an alternative option just a minute away at one of our nearby properties. Both items have since been replaced at Harmar House. We also appreciate you bringing the bathroom concern to our attention — our team visited the property the very next day and fully resolved the issue. Your feedback helps us continue to improve the guest experience, and we truly value it. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime to any of our McKenna Lodging properties in the area.

The house was great. It had plenty of seating, and the living room and bedroom furniture was very comfortable. I loved the Victorian style, dark wood, and antique feel. It had a large kitchen and upstairs bathroom (along with the downstairs half bath). Note that no bedrooms are on the ground floor, if that is important to you. It is dog and cat friendly. The house was very clean, but the living room could have been cleaned of cat and dog hair better. Bring a lint roller, but that is minor. For anyone with cat or dog allergies, this is not the house for you, though, even if you travel with air purifiers.

Little charm in Marietta

This property is very cute with a gingerbread charm and a lot of character. This place has been redone and has plenty of space for families of all sizes and resides in a great location close to everything Harmar and downtown Marietta. The property owners communicated very well and no issues. We highly recommend this property and hope that others have as great experience as we did for the holidays.

Victorian home with modernized kitchen and bathrooms

Very Victorian main areas of house. Nicely modernized kitchen and bathrooms. Washer dryer and fully fenced back yard. The kitchen is large but not fully equipped for cooking. Limited pots pans and cookware. Overall a fun place to stay within the popular Harmer area.

Overall nice

Old, but comfortable. Could have used a bit more cleaning and a few items could have been fixed, or maintained, and there was nothing in the backyard.... No fire ring, no chairs, no grass. It is close to many good places to eat, so, overall...we enjoyed our stay! The host was helpful and answered our questions promptly. inHost was very helful with our questions.

We were very happy with our stay at the Harmar House. It is rare that a property is nicer than we expected. The owners did an exemplary job restoring the home. The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen was very well-appointed, another rarity. Everything we needed was there. The property was within walking distance to several popular restaurants, the Toy Museum, the Fearing House is right next door, but has limited hours, and a small riverside park where you can watch the sunrise. Downtown Marietta was a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again.

Check in was very easy, kitchen was well equipped and clean, WiFi was easy to access and we had no problems finding the property. It was also well stocked with all necessary items like towels, cleaning supplies, sheets, etc. It is a very old house in the victorian style with original wood floors and decorated in the style of that period. The only thing that keeps it from being a 5 star, in our opinion, is that the yard was in serious need of attention. The charming front porch was overrun with weeds and webs, which we swept down, but the yard needed mowed and the weeks that grow around the porch would take more work than we were willing to do in the heat and on vacation. The owner was very accommodating and friendly.

Shower was too hard and drain backed up every time, hair leaves and mud (we hope) mixing with our shower water into a debris filled mucky stew. Disgusting. We worked on the drain all afternoon the second day finally fixing it. Many lights burned out including the main stairs making them treacherous in the dark.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. I do want to note that we did not receive any communication from you during your stay—had we known, I would have been happy to address these concerns right away. Since your visit, I personally inspected the property and confirmed that the shower drain is functioning properly. Regarding the stairway lights, both fixtures work, though we recently discovered that one of the switches is faulty. An electrician is already scheduled to replace it. We always want our guests to feel comfortable and safe, and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts so we can continue to improve. —Maxx, McKenna Lodging

Huge Potential

I can't say enough good things about the communication. Every message I sent received a response within seconds. The house was quaint and clean and the bed very comfortable. There are some major maintenance issues that I have communicated to the host and some minor things (like light bulbs) that just need attention. The house is on a VERY busy street and traffic is frequently quite noisy during the day. I think with some work, this could be a stellar property.
