Friend weekend
My friend and I were celebrating our 30th year of friendship. The house was perfect, cozy, amazingly, welcoming, and close to everything. We had the best time! The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you needed. We would definitely book this house again in a minute! Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

A Slice of History!
What an amazing property and location. Just enough modern amenities to not overpower the old-school charm. The neighborhood was amazing to walk through to read all the house plaques. Plus, it's 1/2 block from the House of Seven Gables and another block to a small snippet of the ocean. The location was so fantastic that we could walk to all our destinations. We had tickets to So Sweet, ate at great restaurants, and took a ghost walk. We had so much fun, we'd like to come back during the summer months. Thanks for a lovely weekend!! I highly recommend it with zero reservations!

Beautiful 18th century home in the heart of Salem's historic district.
This house was perfect. First of all, it was spotless. Everything was clean, and comfortable. The bedrooms were very nice, comfortable beds, cozy living room and nice kitchen. It felt like you were stepping back in time in this house in every way with the exception of modern convenience. the air conditioners kept the place cool, but they were silent. The bathroom was super clean and the shower was excellent. Over all a great house that is super cute and so great because it was built in 1739. The location though may be the best part. It is one block from the House of the 7 Gables, which is amazing. We wnet for the tour and it was completely worth it. Our 10 year ols and 13 year old both agree that tour was possibly the best thing we did on our vacation, which also included visiting the beaches of Cape Cod, go carts, kayaking and a dozen other awesome things and the tour of a 17th century historical landmark house was at the top of their list. You have to take the tour to see why, it's very interesting. We think our tour guide Stephen really made it memorable. His story telling brought us right back to the year 1700. Salem is a beautiful city, with extremely interesting things to see and do and this house really sets the stage for the stay. I am trying to get my friends and family to go stay there.
