This historic home is beautiful with great updates. Kathleen was an excellent host! Check-in was fast and easy, and the house was clean and exactly as described. Eight of us stayed here to go to Bucci's Italian Scratch Kitchen “Brunch Please!” and we also visited the Shovel City Drinkery. This house was a perfect getaway and would definitely stay again.

What makes this property unique
This isn’t just a historic home — it’s a piece of Marion’s story.
While serving as President, Warren G. Harding is said to have stored personal belongings on the home’s third floor.
Architecturally, the home reflects a graceful blend of Victorian character and Colonial Revival symmetry — with stained-glass windows, detailed woodwork, multiple stairways, and the kind of craftsmanship rarely found in modern construction. Each room offers texture and presence, not just square footage.
It’s a home with stories in its walls — thoughtfully restored so you can experience historic charm without sacrificing modern comfort. Stay somewhere that feels rooted, distinctive, and connected to Marion’s past — not interchangeable.
