Amazing. Pam and Dallas were awesome hosts. Their Bead and Breakfast was like a movie. They made you feel at home and like being with family. Very pet friendly oriented. Pam made an amazing breakfast that would rival some of the trendy breakfast restaurants. Will recommend them to others

Great location in Marietta , and just a few miles down the road from the hustle and bustle of all the shops, restaurants and crowds. The hospitality and warmth of this bed and breakfast was stellar! Lots of places offer a good bed, sink and bathtub, but few places in my life have offered the feeling of being “like family” that B. F. Hiestand bed-and-breakfast offered. The home is absolutely gorgeous. I was taken back by the beautiful architecture, crown molding and furnishings. The Hiestand ancestors would be very pleased with the maintenance of their treasured home. This was our first visit to a bed and breakfast, but most definitely will not be our last! Don’t go to this place if you’re looking for something highbrow, go to this place if you want to feel like you came to a place that feels a bit like “home!” We plan on going back soon!!!!!

The owners, Pam and Dallas, are wonderful and welcoming, the breakfasts cannot be beat. Pam has a local source for delicious gluten free baked goods - which is no small feat when it come to breakfast fare. For my socially anxious fellow travelers who are looking for a low pressure B&B experience - this one is a winner! Would highly recommend!

What a lovely room we happened upon due to the cancelation of another guest. Due to rain, we didn't get to take full advantage of a walk about in the town, but our hosts were lovely and the breakfast delicious. We had never heard of Marietta and needed a one-night stay before moving on through this area and were looking for spots along the water. Good choice!

Run don’t walk here! Dallas and Pam were amazing! This was our first time at a B&B and it did not disappoint! They have set the bar very high! Pams breakfast was spectacular! The grounds were beautiful! Room was very clean and the sheets were so soft I bought a pair that’s how good they are! If you are ever in the area or doing Hershey/Lancaster definitely stay here!

Cute but not comfy
The B&B is very charming and the owners quite nice. However, hall light was kept on all night, bed was too soft and traffic sounds too loud.

I'm so sorry you were not comfortable during your stay here. Unfortunately,with the leaves off the trees, the Sun Porch does hear the road noise at this time of year. There is a white noise machine on the nightstand to help buffer that out. With the steepness of our stair case, we must leave a light on in case someone would fall. I do wish you had contacted me about this. The light is on a dimmer and it could have been turned down for you. We are in the process of working with our electrician to have motion sensors put in to turn the light on when needed. Thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated.

Pam prepared amazing breakfast both morning and took care of our dietary needs, I was very pleasantly surprised to have turkey bacon :) much appreciated. The house had a lot of history and character to it and we both enjoyed touring and exploring the rooms.
