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.

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. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, you'll find comfort, charm, and a warm welcome at our beautiful Bed & Breakfast.

First b&b experience

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.

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.

time to get away

My husband and I needed time to just unwind this was a last minute booking. I needed to change the date of arrival and they we able to accommodate with the request. Our suite was comfortable and quiet. The house is beautiful, charming and clean. We came off season so not sure how it would be in the busier seasons.

Charming house

We really enjoyed our stay! Everyone was super friendly and good about communicating. Jen did an amazing job cooking for all of us and keeping the bed and breakfast clean. It was only disappointing in that we had the room booked for a few weeks, and someone who booked the night before accidentally got our room and we were the ones who had to change to a different one. Mistakes happen and it was not a huge deal to me at all. We still liked the room we ended up in a lot! The jacuzzi was also really nice. I loved that just a block over were really good restaurant selections too, and the property manager gave us really good recommendations for activities! I would stay here again or recommend to others.

Cute B&B but lacking in directions

When we arrived at the place, we were told we needed to go across town to pickup keys - something we were NOT told about in any of the correspondence with the property owner. We picked up the keys but they were to another property so we had to go back and get the correct ones. Not a great start to our stay. The property was as described and the staff working there were really pleasant and hospitable.

Jennifer was our host for the weekend and did all the cooking. She even came in on Memorial Day and cooked us breakfast when she didn't have to! Our room was very clean and right off the main hallway. Had a great time and met some wonderful couples over breakfast. Didn't hang around the property much as we were very busy in the area. Next time we would use the hot tub which we didn't notice until we were leaving. The only odd thing is having to pickup the keys at the local Outdoor Adventure Pro shop in town, but it all worked out Ok. We had a wonderful time exploring the Hocking Hills region and would come back to this property in the future.

We’ll be back!

Great experience and will definitely be back!!! The breakfast was delicious, nice hot tub, great room, and exceptional hosts! We stayed in the primrose garden room and only had a few recommendations (quite a bit of dust/wrappers under the bed we noticed when checking to make sure we had everything, 1 of the towel rods was loose/could not be used and needs fixed, a 2nd trash can in the bathroom might be helpful since there’s a bit of distance between the bathroom and bedroom where the 1 small trash can was, and there was a few blue soap stains noted on shower curtain from previous residents). The neighborhood was quiet and we slept well during our 3 night stay! The owners were very friendly, attentive and accommodating! Excellent location. A hidden gem! We plan on coming back again soon!!

Inviting and Comfortable

Primrose B&B is a cute historic home with easy access to hiking, biking, and other activities. The breakfast was amazing. Angel, the caretaker, made sure we were well fed before we set out on our adventures. The room was comfortable and adequate. Remember it is an historic home, so not perfect, but comfortable and inviting. The only recommendation we have is to make sure everyone has a key to the front door. It is possible to get locked out using the back door because of an original deadbolt with no key. Angel made a recommendation to the property manager before we left. The town has a very small town feel with friendly people. The bike trail is scenic and pretty flat. We enjoyed our stay.

B&B in Nelsonville Ohio

Spent one night here as it was a half way point to our final destination. Quaint over 100 year old historical building. We pretty much had the place to ourselves as no one but guests stay on the property. Other guests arrived after midnight but we never saw them. Walkable distance to small downtown with several bars and restaurants. Morning breakfast was usual fare but could have been kept a little warmer. In fact since there was only the two of us, the cook should consider made to order eggs, etc. She was however very friendly and informative. Sat on the large front porch for a bit which was nice. Neighborhood seems to be somewhat run down. Overall the price was lower than staying in a hotel and we stayed in a unique property.

No hospitality on property

We liked the property and detailed info getting there. We encountered not one person on property until the next morning when going to the breakfast room. The person preparing breakfast did not even greet us with a good morning! I asked for a coffee cup, she pointed then I discovered for myself where everything else I needed was. My husband behind me didn’t fair better when asking for hot water for tea. She practically bit his head off since he didn’t know it was on the stove. Just a bit of hospitality would be appreciated at a B and B

Good stay but Inaccurate Listing

We knew registration was at a different location. Unfortunately, once we discovered that wi-go didn’t work, the management company was closing. I placed two phone calls about it: I spoke with “Emma” the first time who promised to call me back. That didn’t happen so I called again an hour later and had to leave a message. No one EVER called me back. Listing states there will be shampoo provided. This is inaccurate. Breakfast is provided. It is an adequate breakfast. A refrigerator is in the common kitchen.
