Very clean, comfortable and attractively designed home with good lighting and mattresses, which I particularly appreciate. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout, from extra toiletries to a well-stocked kitchen. Communication with the owner was easy and immediate. Walkable to several local restaurants, quiet neighborhood and close to lots of great outdoors experiences. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful and comfortable home

The home is completely updated and beautifully decorated which is apparent with the first opening of the door. There are more than ample amenities staged throughout the home resulting in all you really need are your personal items. Sarah, the host makes multiple contacts via email ensuring that questions and any needs are handled. The home is located in the middle of Salem in a quiet neighborhood on a one way street with only a small amount of traffic. Highly recommend this property.

Perfect weekend getaway for float trip

We loved the space, very clean and comfortable beds! Six of us came down for a float trip from Cedar Grove to Akers Ferry and this was the perfect spot for non-campers. Everything was super clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with cookware so we were easily able to make our own meals. Would definitely return!

Such a cute place! They have everything you can think of and many things you might have forgotten. The house is just as described, and very comfortable. The hosts are terrific. We will recommend to any of the extended family that wants to visit Salem. It was perfect for us, and thoughtfully stocked with snacks and water which we really appreciated since everything was closed Thanksgiving day.

Our Go-To in Salem!

After trying other lodging options in the area, the Simply Salem Cottage quickly became the only place we stay when we visit Salem. Cute, cozy, conveniently located to the (growing!) downtown, it has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Sarah and her family are incredible hosts, and even our dogs love visiting and playing in the fenced-in yard! I’d love to keep this place a secret so we always have it to ourselves, but I can’t recommend the Simply Salem Cottage enough!
