Good to know
We are a centrally-located, 5-bedroom unit, just a 3 minute walk to the Salem Common. If youโre looking for a distinctly Salem atmosphere, this is the place for you. Originally built in 1869, recent renovations blend historical character with modern style. Our grand entranceway features a stunning spiral staircase that will lead you to your unit. Enter to find yourself immersed in our rich color palette and thoughtfully curated decor. Five bedrooms make our home a perfect spot for groups or families. The kitchen was completely redone this year and features new quartz countertops and bar seating that connects to the living room, creating a nicely blended space for cooking and socializing. There are two living areas on each floor with wall-mounted smart Roku TVs, perfect for a movie night or streaming your favorite shows. Both full bathrooms are also brand new. The downstairs bathroom has an impressive tile walk-in shower and bench, and it also features a stackable washer and dryer for your convenience. The upstairs bathroom has a bathtub, convenient for those with little ones. The 9 foot ceilings throughout the downstairs make for a spacious retreat, but as you venture upstairs you will be reminded that the house was built in the 19th century. The staircase to the third floor is narrow, and there are some slanted ceilings upstairs, all part of our historic charm. Choose from one of our five bedrooms to suit your mood, each containing queen beds and a unique vibe. Looking for something mystical? Stay in our tarot card bedroom ๐ฎ and seek your destiny in the cards on the ceiling. Gaze at the stars as you fall asleep in our constellation bedroom ๐ซ featuring a bunk bed with a full, extra-long bed on the top and a queen bed on the bottom. Upstairs youโll pass through the study on your way to the three additional bedrooms. Get a taste of all the sites youโll visit in our Salem bedroom ๐งโโ๏ธ adorned with the cityโs famous locations. Pin your own postcard to add to our collection! The final two bedrooms are two sides of the same witchy coin: become one with Mother Earth in the nature bedroom ๐ฟ with plant decor, or luxuriate in the gothic glam of our serpent bedroom ๐, each of which have wardrobes for you to hang your belongings. We have free high-speed WiFi, and there are books, games, and puzzles in the study for your entertainment. Baby items such as a pack โn play and high chair are available as well. There is a balcony adjacent to the kitchen where we have space for outdoor dining and relaxing in the fresh air. Our hot tub is located in the backyard and can be used 8am-10pm. We have free, on-site parking for up to 2 cars! All others months of the year (except for mid Sept-Oct), also include free street parking. However, if you want to park on the street in peak season, please let us know and we can get you one visitor pass for the street. NO PARTIES ALLOWED. This is a two-family home with entirely separate and distinct living units. However, as with all licensed short-term rentals in Salem, the house is owner-occupied, which means the first floor unit is where we live! We keep to ourselves and prefer all communication go through the Airbnb app, so that way we can maintain our privacy and you can maintain yours. We kindly ask guests to respect quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. For comfort in all seasons, the space is equipped with air conditioning for warmer weather and heat in the cooler months. Do you have a larger group and wish you could spread out more and have the whole place to yourselves? Our entire home (7 bedrooms, 3 baths, sleeps 17) is potentially available for renting all together on certain dates. Please send us an inquiry and we can provide more information. For some context, here are some of the tourist destinations and their walking distances: Salem Witch Museum ๐งโโ๏ธ, a 7 min walk Salem Common, a 3 min walk Collins Cove Beach, 3 min walk The House of Seven Gables, 14 min walk Peabody Essex Museum, 10 min walk The Witch House ๐งโโ๏ธ, 19 min walk Salem Witch Trials Memorial ๐งโโ๏ธ, 12 min walk Witch Dungeon Museum ๐งโโ๏ธ, 14 min walk Salem Ferry, 16 minute walk MBTA Salem, 13 minute walk For super close eats, Coffee Time Bake Shop and Burrito Spice is a 4 min walk, and Piccolo Piatti is a 2 minute walk, if you need a quick coffee or fast bite to eat! Plus, downtown is about a 7 minute walk, with an abundant amount of restaurants and shops to choose from! The Collins Cove Rail trail is a 2 minute walk, with a Blue Bikes station just a 4 minute walk away on Webb Street, close to the intersection of Bridge Street and Webb Street. Due to scheduling restraints, we are unable to accommodate early check-in or late check outs. Thank you for understanding! ๐
