Great place to stay

My family stayed in this house for the week of October 22- the 25th. The house was just as it was pictured. The location was great as it was close to Salem. We did not have any problem checking in or out. It was very smooth. The guidebook Rachel said to download was very helpful. The house was full of antique furniture and was dated to the time period that it was built in. It was great to be able to stay in a house that was built back in the 1600's. We would stay here again and would recommend it to friends. Rachel was very friendly and easy to deal with.
