Cross the street and you're in the historic river town of Marietta, which features a nice selection of restaurants and taverns and loads of charm.

Plenty of parking on the property. 5 minute walk to public transit. 25 minute drive to Harrisburg International Airport. 80 minute drive to Baltimore/Washington International Airport. 90 minute drive to Philadelphia International Airport.

Summary: This place was absolutely amazing! Met the property owner (Steve) who gave us a quick rundown of our stay. He was very caring and wanted our stay to be great! Wow is the building beautiful and grounds kept very well! It felt like we were aristocrats for a few days. The building is very old but modernized while keeping the character of the house. Steve had the piano tuned for me and I was able to learn a little bit of Chopin no.9 during my stay. During the stay we ended up using the amazing kitchen and having a nice dinner there as well! If I’m in the area again, this’ll be the first place I look.
