Perfect place to stay for our first time visiting Salem. We were able to do a lot of walking since we were so close to Essex St. The house was nice and clean. Plenty of bathrooms, which was definitely a bonus. Loved that we didn't have to park on the street. We had absolutely no issues during our stay. I would highly recommend to anyone!

We had a family wedding in Beverly and needed a pet friendly House as we have 2 dogs that go everywhere with us. The House was great, plenty of room for all of us, very roomy, and comfortable rooms , comfortable beds, excellent air conditioning as it was a scorcher one day, so close to everything, parks, stores, Salem Center, coffee shops, restaurants, and the wedding venue. Meg, property owner was incredible, stopped by to meet us, made sure we got in OK. Just a great get-away for all of us. Thanks Meg!!!

Wonderful home for exploring Salem!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience! This house was on a very quiet street with very friendly neighbors. Perfect location to explore Salem and relax away from all the action. Meg was a wonderful host and checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was good. She gave wonderful suggestions for our day trip to Maine. There is a binder with all the local food and entertainment with maps! The house was well stocked with everything you need plus some! We could npt have asked for a better experience! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
