The Comfort of Home, Away From Home
Written by Trisha Ries
Marietta is often a destination during our big town events like Marietta Day, the Garden Tour, and the Bicycle Race (just to name a few). Our town is filled to the brim on holidays and pub crawls as well. During these activities, sometimes the pleasure of having guests in our homes can become a little overwhelming and stressful. Have your cake and eat it, too, by booking a room for your guests at one of our beautiful bed and breakfast inns!
Susquehanna Manor, located at 3272 Maytown Road, is right across 441 (not far from Herr’s Market), and is the perfect destination for all of your guests’ needs. While being pet friendly, Susquehanna Manor is also eco-friendly and extremely community based. You may even remember them being on the Candlelight Tour in 2016.
The Lavender Patch, located at 190 Longenecker Avenue, is as heavenly as the name suggests. Your guests can hang out by the outside pool during the summer months, or enjoy a walk through the flower and herb garden. Rumor has it that their afternoon tea is delightful.

B. F. Hiestand House Bed and Breakfast, located at 722 East Market Street, is a beautiful Victorian B & B run by Pam and Dallas Fritz. Pam and Dallas’s love of baking, cooking, and serving others has been their drive for running their successful B & B for the last 18 years. Pam’s favorite part of the B & B is the beautiful front porch, that allows guests to sit and relax while enjoying a good book or a lovely glass of wine.
So, take the stress out of the holidays and let your friends and family enjoy even more of what Marietta has to offer.
