About the host
Hosted by Megan Woodcock
Like to meet and greet new friends. My mom ran this airB&B for years and I try to emulate the passion and love she had for her guests and her town.
Why they chose this property
Ideally located to downtown Salem with out waiting in traffic or trying to hunt down an illusive parking space. Also after enjoying the sights and sound of Salem you can walk to the commuter train station to take the inbound train to Boston or the outbound Train to Newburyport, Rockport, Gloucester or Manchester by the Sea.
What makes this property unique
Close to everything you may want or need. While walking the neighborhood you'll get to see the GIANT GNOME that lives next door or view the massive garden that is home of prize winning GIANT PUMPKINS over 1,000 lbs and chickens.
