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.
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.
We LOVED the property! So conveniently located to everything.When you book your stay, be sure to check out neighborhood restaurants (The Busy Bee , and the Boathouse BBQ) for excellent local food.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
