About this property

The Warlock House: Spellbound Stay - Sleep Where the Magic and Spells Happens!

When visiting the Witch City, your enchanting experience should begin the moment you enter the place you plan to hang your (pointy) hat. The Warlock House beckons all those who still believe in the magic of Salem with a vacation rental where it’s Halloween every day of the year. It is a bubbling cauldron for the senses, blending the whimsical fun and festivities of Halloween with the mysteries of Salem Witchcraft.



Step into the Haunting Hallway and be greeted by the warm glow of candlelight - you are immediately immersed in all things Salem. The walls of the Warlock House are decorated with Witch City memorabilia provided by some of Salem's most prestigious attractions, museums, and shops. The Haunting Hallway begins with images of Ouija history. Did you know the Ouija board was once produced in Salem? Yes! On the same street of the Warlock House at the original Parker Brother’s factory. The memorabilia continues with television’s Bewitched, featuring everyone’s favorite sorceress — Samantha Stephens.

_______

Follow the Haunting Hallway to the end, and enter the Spirit Parlour. Work the arts of magic and reveal your destiny. Cast a spell at the authentic Witches’ altar. Peer into the fiery flames of the wondrous wood stove. See visions of things to come. Commune with the spirits through the Ouija board coffee table. Spin the Wheel of Fortune; reveal your future, your destiny. Discover the Scroll of Spells and incant them through the crystal ball. Everyone is magical at the Warlock House.

_______

The Witch’s kitchen pays homage to vintage Halloween with its ghosts, black cats, pumpkins, and Witches that fly across the moon each night. Gather at a 200-year-old dining table beneath a glowing chandelier, enjoy a harvest meal with your family, or perhaps sit for a séance to bring forth the spirits of loved ones past.



The Witch's Kitchen features dining for six, full-sized appliances: fridge, stove, dishwasher, and laundry. Countertop appliances include microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and toaster. True to the magical theme of Warlock house: skull, pumpkin and cauldron glasses, Halloween themed dishes, and so much more.



Experience the magic of the Warlock House - wave your wand, ride your broom, speak your spells, and watch Warlock House come alive. Special smart lighting creates unique moods - selectable by you! In every room of the Warlock House, the lighting can be set to fit your own magical mood. Imagine spooky ghostly blues, autumnal shades, or herbal hues - all available via incantations or a magical touch.



Now let's wander through the sleeping accommodations of the Warlock House:

_______

The Raven's Rest is inspired by the works of Edgar Allen Poe and the spectral flight of ravens—magical creatures that fly through the boundaries between this world and the next, bringing prophecy to those with ears to hear. The Raven's Rest is a gothic delight. The décor is both foreboding and enticing, enveloped in the darkest of shadows, and beckoning those who stay within to discover their power in the eerie mists of dreams.



The Raven's Rest features a queen-sized bed, armoire, bureau, and two bedside-tables with gothic lamps that cast the shadows of skulls upon the walls.

_______

The Herbarium celebrates the Witch as healer — filled with enchanting magical plants. Herbs, both baneful and benevolent, sparkle with fairy light. Herbalism has been part of the arts of Witchcraft from time immemorial. This bewitching boudoir honors the medicine and magic of the natural world.



The Herbarium features a queen-sized bed, closet, bureau, and two bedside-tables with steampunk lamps with Edison bulbs.

_______

Step into the Pumpkin Patch, a nostalgic stroll down a magical memory lane, where children and adults alike will enjoy the flickering faces of jack-o'-lanterns and the autumnal light of Halloweens past, where imagery of festive hayrides, hot apple cider, and harvest moons dance delightfully through their minds.



The Pumpkin Patch features two twin beds, closet, bureau, and one end-table with decorative pumpkin lamps.

Great themed property and convenient

Really enjoyed our stay. The property is walking distance to all sites and Salem amenities. The property manager company certainly went “all in” with the decor! They were also generous with foods available (coffee, etc) in the apartment.We suggest stopping at a proper grocery store prior to arrival however, because there is a bit of a food desert around the house (more convenience shopping than groceries)Thank you for making us feel welcome

The Perfect Setting

My group absolutely loved staying here! The ambiance was perfect for our Summerween Road Trip! The only drawbacks we could see was the fact that there's only one bathroom and no real space in the bathroom to leave anything out, but there isn't really any room to expand anywhere so it is what it is. (There are skinny cabinets in there but I was afraid of forgetting things so I didn't use them.) Also, the parking directions were a bit confusing: it says that the parking pad has brick on the left side and you're to park on the tar on the right side, but the brick is actually on the right side... since the brick area also had handicap parking signs, we stuck with parking on the tar on the left side; we never got yelled at so we must have been in the right spot.

Loved our stay

We really enjoyed our first stay in Salem mostly due to staying at the Warlock House. The details in the decor went way over and above our expectations. The time and care that was put into decorating, lighting, and ambiance were appreciated. Parking was easy and in better weather we would’ve walked to more places. The facilities were perfect for our family. We had zero problems to report to the management. Would recommend this and would stay here again ourselves.

Wickedly Enchanting

My god daughter and I wanted to go all in for the Salem Witch experience and this creatively crafted Vrbo was utterly enchanting. There wasn’t a book or cranny in this house that wasn’t sprinkled with magic. My expectations were exceeded. Location was perfect. We walked to everything.

Nothing but great things

The warlock house is in walking distance to a lot of the places you would want to visit while in Salem. Check in was as simple as it gets, and they have great communication. And of course the rooms were themed so beautifully. The pictures don’t do it justice, it’s so much better in person. My kids loved the Alexa and all the spells. Will be booking again!!!

16th Birthday Getaway

We had a great time for my daughter’s 16th birthday celebration. While the place (bottom level apartment) was smaller, had only one bathroom which was tricky to navigate with 3 women, the inside layout was exciting! The only other issue was trying to figure out where to park. The hosts have done well to keep with the feel of the city. We had the best time in Salem and would happily return to the Warlock House.

Warlock house April 2025

We booked the warlock house for a destination bachelorette and it was amazing. We loved the theatrical features that set it just above the rest. Would definitely come back again. The attention to detail was top tier. Some notes: the parking instructions were a bit unclear and are meant to be understood as if you are backing into the driveway. There are minimal comfortable seats in the common areas and not enough seats for the 6 people the house is supposed to accommodate. This seems like a popular spot for girls trips so some investment in mirrors and full length mirrors would be appreciated in the future. Some kind of fan for at least the bathroom would have been nice due to the amount of people needing to shower and no vent fan. Alexa was also not functioning so we missed out on some interactive features. Despite this we still had a great trip. The space was very clean and cute. We had a great time and were able to walk most places.

A fun stay for Salem

This VRBO is a nice little way to get the "whole Salem" experience, it is very appropriately themed and does not miss a beat in terms of embracing its halloween charm. It is in easy walking distance from downtown Salem and the harbor so you can avoid having to hassle with parking which can be a bit hairy downtown.
