Very clean, comfortable and attractively designed home with good lighting and mattresses, which I particularly appreciate. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout, from extra toiletries to a well-stocked kitchen. Communication with the owner was easy and immediate. Walkable to several local restaurants, quiet neighborhood and close to lots of great outdoors experiences. We enjoyed our stay.

A bright gem!

The house is set up very nicely with lots of attention to what makes a place comfortable and relaxing. It is bright and inviting and clean. The beds were comfortable and the bedroom decor was soothing and inviting. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully equipped with plenty of utensils/plates/gadgets/etc and the bathrooms had plenty of quality towels (hand and bath size) and no shortage of quality paper products and bath/kitchen/laundry accessories. Great stay and loved the fact that we could take our dog! Would absolutely book again.

Sarah was extremely helpful and flexible! As we were snowed out for our original weekend and she allowed us to reschedule due to weather. The place was beautiful, tasteful, immaculate! Just absolutely darling! Having grown up in Salem myself, I’ve now found a place to stay comfortably with my family and have plenty of the things that I need including a place for my pets if I need it! Thanks so much Sarah and your family for giving us a home away from home!Lynda Carlyle and her family!

The house is so cute, and immaculate. The kitchen is roomy and the host provides some essentials. The beds are very comfortable and the a/c works great.

Perfect weekend getaway for float trip

We loved the space, very clean and comfortable beds! Six of us came down for a float trip from Cedar Grove to Akers Ferry and this was the perfect spot for non-campers. Everything was super clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware so we were easily able to make our own meals. Would definitely return!

Sweet Spot!

Five of us traveled to Salem from St. louis surrounding areas to celebrate a heavenly birthday and cancer surgery success with a float trip. We typically stay in hotels outside of Salem but opted for this rental instead and we were not disappointed. This sweet little spot was unexpectedly well stocked, super clean, the beds were so comfy and it truly felt like being at home. The backyard was a bonus for our fur babies. Sarah was quick to respond to my inquiry before booking and was beyond accommodating. Don't hesitate to book, you will love it too!
