Everything was nice and clean and easy to access the house from the driveway. The kitchen was well equipped and clean, and it was lovely to have a washer and dryer. I thought the stairs going up to the loft where steep with narrow treads and the two low back chairs in the living room could easily be replaced with two recliners, which would take up less space and be more comfortable.

Cleanliness was exceptional. Host was easy to get a hold of. We had our small dog with us and there is a great park nearby to walk or play if you have kids with you. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. The kitchen had all new utensils, everything needed to cook up a meal. The bed was comfortable and plenty of wall outlets to charge your phones, etc. We will come back for another stay.

This little cottage had everything we needed and more. It was clean, cozy and conveniently located, walking distance to the best breakfast/brunch restaurant ever, (Word of Mouth), and the capital building grounds were about a 15 minute walk. Would/will definitely book again when in the Salem area.

Nice central location, easy check in, we couldn’t get the fireplace to work and place was a bit chilly at night and early mornings. A bit hard to access bed upstairs in loft due to low slanted ceiling (and I am a short 5’0” lady, but we appreciated the modern kitchen appliances and washer and dryer. Nice tidy quaint home in a quiet neighborhood.

The host was really responsive and had great directions and instructions for my stay. It was cozy and well situated, quiet neighborhood but close enough to lots of things. Only wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the use of the bikes. Nighttime was rather chilly and I was grateful for the fire and that the loft was kept warm by the rising warm air. That plus the shower water never really got warm enough was the only reason for it not being a 5 star rating. I would stay again, but maybe more in the warmer months.
