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.
At Primrose Bed & Breakfast, we offer more than just a place to stay; we provide an experience—a chance to immerse yourself in the rich history of Nelsonville, relax in the comfort of a lovingly restored home, and explore the natural beauty of Hocking Hills.
