Girls trip
Perfect place for our Salem girls trip. There was plenty of room for the nine of us. Close enough to walk into town or grab a quick Uber ride. We really enjoyed all of the cute Halloween & fall decor. Everything was so clean the beds are super comfortable. Plenty of towels without having to do laundry. Yay! Meg was so easy to communicate with and was quick to respond to all my questions prior to our arrival We enjoyed our stay so much & hope to come back again.

Mouse house
It turned into a mouse catching trip. The first mouse was stepped on under a blanket and died instantly. I was instructed by my wife to go buy as many traps as I could find. We got rid of a total of five mice. My wife will never stay in that house again. Besides the mice, awesome house.

Meg was spectacular! House was immaculate, inviting, fully stocked, nice fenced in yard, parking and location is fabulous! Also beds were sooo comfortable! This was a a special trip for me celebrating being in remission for stage 4 head and neck cancer; Friend from AZ, brother from IL, dad from CT and myself. It was such a special and wonderful time.

Comfortable house close to everything
Very nice property in a quiet neighborhood right across the river from downtown Salem and most attraction. Very walkable when the weather is nice. Beds were comfortable and plenty of space for groups traveling together. Communication with the host was easy, Meg was very responsive. Decent sized outdoor space with a grill and patio furniture. Really enjoyed our Salem experience and would rent again the next time we come here. Only suggestion I have that would be a nice enhancement would be a hot tub.in the outdoor space.

Everything You Need
Very well stocked rental. Short drives into downtown- if it was warmer would have gladly walked to downtown. Enjoyed how quiet the neighborhood was, and taking a right from the unit was a nice small waterfront park I loved walking my dogs to during our stay. We were very happy with this spot for our first time in Salem!

Bachelorette weekend
Meg has the greatest house ever. Located perfectly to everything you want to experience in Salem, an Uber ride is super cheap to get anywhere. The house is great and accommodated the 11 people that came for my bachelorette weekend. Meg was extremely helpful with recommendations & even left her Halloween decor up longer for me as I was having a spooky themed girls weekend. I will absolutely be back!
