The Historic Buckley House – Elegant Riverside Retreat in the Heart of Marietta Step into timeless charm and modern comfort at the Historic Buckley House, a beautifully preserved 19th-century home nestled in the heart of Marietta, Ohio. Originally built in the late 1800s, this grand Victorian residence has long been a cornerstone of the community—first as a private estate, and later as a beloved fine dining restaurant. Today, it has been thoughtfully reimagined as a distinctive guest retreat, blending historic elegance with modern luxury. Located just steps from downtown Marietta, the Buckley House offers the perfect setting for weddings, reunions, or relaxing riverfront escapes. Enjoy an easy 7-minute stroll to the People’s Bank Theater, boutique shops, riverfront trails, and the town’s vibrant dining scene—all while returning to the quiet charm of this stately home. The house features four beautifully appointed bedrooms—three with queen beds, and one with a king—each with its own private en-suite bathroom and walk-in shower. The second floor is fully dedicated to sleeping quarters, offering guests comfort and privacy. On the main level, you’ll find: A newly renovated gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances and a dedicated coffee bar. An elegant dining room featuring seating for eight and hand-carved hardwood furniture, a nod to the home's rich craftsmanship. A cozy parlor and spacious living room, perfect for gatherings or quiet reflection. Outdoors, guests can enjoy the landscaped backyard gardens, complete with brick walkways, a tranquil koi pond, a gazebo, and a large covered deck just off the kitchen—ideal for al fresco dining or morning coffee. The second-floor balcony offers picturesque views of East Muskingum Park and the Muskingum River, just across the street. With ample private parking, walkable access to local attractions, and a legacy that captures the spirit of historic Marietta, the Buckley House is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to experience.

We had the best stay at the Buckley house! We are a group of six bicyclists that take a three day ride together every October. We’ve been getting more frustrated every previous year when we stay at the Lafayette hotel due to it not being upkept so we decided to look into an Airbnb and we feel like we hit the jackpot with the Buckley House. We all love historic homes so we were excited to stay here just to see it! Having enough bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us and the beautiful spaces inside and outside to hang out together in the evening was perfect. I contacted Maxx, the host, a week before we arrived with a couple of questions and he got back to me quickly. We didn’t need anything while we were there because the house is very well appointed. We are looking forward to staying here again! Molly

The house was absolutely beautiful. My daughter got ready for her wedding and the pre wedding photos were amazing in this timeless home. Definitely would stay at this home again.

All of us (4 couples consisting of siblings and spouses in our 70's) felt it was a true honor to stay in an historic home! It is full of rich history and awesome to learn about. The decor was a joy to see and we spent a lot of time indoors relaxing and conversing. The kitchen is an awesome size to congregate and that is what kitchens seem to do! Everything you need to do in basic cooking/eating is there. The location is great and walk-able with many shops, museums etc close by to enjoy. Please don't hesitate to book Maxx's place as it is a true entity to witness and enjoy! Maxx is a wonderful host and will respond and do whatever you may request of him (if he can) to meet your needs. The only thing to remember, if you have true ambulatory issues and unable to climb stairs, it may not be a good fit for you as the sleeping quarters are all on the 2nd floor. It is awesome to have a half bath on main floor to eliminate extra flights of the steps! Thank you.

The Historic Buckley House was exactly what we were looking for. Victorian Historical Home in center of historic district of Marietta, OH. We walked to the farmers market and front street shops on Saturday morning, enjoyed trolley tour around town, and enjoyed the local activity taking place across the street in Muskingum Park. The home was large with open rooms downstairs restroom two parlors and gorgeous dining room table. The kitchen is very modern and had all we needed and back patio was great for privacy in evenings. Upstairs had 4 large bedrooms each with their own bathroom and nice balcony with entrance off the hallway. Highly recommend and cannot wait to return.

The Buckley House In Marietta Ohio was perfect for our Ladies afternoon tea. Three middle age ladies and we all live locally near Marietta. With the America 250 celebration of Living History Reenactment taking place in Muskingum park directly across the street making the perfect setting for our Victorian Afternoon Tea. The house was perfect backdrop. We walked down front street and to Farmers Market on Saturday, trolley ride downtown and just had delightful weekend. The room sizes are large and just plenty of space for everyone. The house was pristine with plenty of items in the kitchen, coffee makers, tea pot with tea selections, and plenty of pots/pans dinnerware etc. showers all had shampoo condition and body wash. And the AC kept house cold on warm humid afternoons. The house is a Victorian historical house which is exactly what we were looking for.

Maxx was very responsive to any questions. Always very helpful. Walking distance to downtown Marietta and many of the local, historic attractions. You can also walk across the river bridge to go to Harmer village. House was clean. Large, modern kitchen (our group of 8 liked to sit around the kitchen area). Living room and dining area large enough to handle our group. It is an older, historic home. Front room and drawing room decorated in period furnishings. Master bedroom is huge. Other bedrooms were smaller, mostly to accommodate modern bathrooms in each bedroom. We didn't really spend much time in the bedrooms, so not an issue. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of helpful guides at the house. We enjoyed our stay in the house and Marietta.

We were shocked that this was a Airbnb. Unbelievable stay! We highly recommend staying at this historic property. From the kitchen to the bedrooms you can feel the history in every room. We'll probably make a special trip to Marietta to stay here again.
