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.

This property was perfect for our extended family. Everyone had their own space and it never felt crowded. It was in walking distance to downtown Salem and in driving distance to many other sights. The house was stocked with everything you could need.

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. I cannot thank Meg enough. Fantastic. My friend tried to change her flight so we could book another night! Definitely will be back and recommend.

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.

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!

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!

Nice house, 1/2 mile walk from downtown, easy to navigate. We only booked the upstairs so had to ensure laundry was available via request even though it was listed as available with rental. Suggestion book for food and activities was helpful.

We had a great time and couldn’t have asked for a better manager and house. The space in the house and the amenities were great. Meg was very helpful and prompt when needed.

We loved that this home was a bit out of the fray of the October madness. We got to walk into downtown and shop, experience all the cool stuff, but at the end of the day we had somewhere quiet to crash. It was so lovely one day we just ordered in. Beds were comfy, individual acs in the bedrooms worked great. If we're ever in Salem again, we'll be back!

This place is amazing!! I came for my bachelorette party and it was the perfect size and location. We were able to walk to downtown and the few times we ubered it was a reasonable price. The house was super clean, had very cute decorations, and a binder with everything you need to know. I HIGHLY recommend this property 😊

The photos don't do this property justice. It is huge inside. We had a bachelorette weekend with 8 women and there was plenty enough space for everyone and then some. The living room was so cozy with tons of seating, and all the chairs and couches were so comfy. It's a nice 20 min walk to Salem which was lovely. Highly recommend using the Salem skipper app for traveling around, so nice and affordable! I would come back to this property many times over. Thank you so much for the stay!

We did a family girls trip. Ages 35 to 75. The house was perfect for the six of us. Megan was very easy to reach and gave us good tips. Thanks Megan for the use of your great house.

I grew up in the North Shore, and used to live a few blocks from this house. So coming here with all of my cousins in our adulthood to celebrate the last wedding in the family, was a real treat. We all fit in the house very comfortably, there was parking everywhere and we really enjoyed the convenience of the location to downtown Salem. All of the rooms were more than enough room for each of the couples and even the basement room was more than spacious for two couples. The common areas were great for gathering and having a few laughs and drinks. All of the bathrooms were perfect with plenty of towels and bathroom accessories. I can’t imagine being able to rent this during Halloween! I would 1,000% rent this again, and strongly recommend it to anyone looking to spend time on the North Shore of Massachusetts. 10 stars

This was a large, lovely house situated in a quiet neighborhood - only a block from the water and a very short drive from downtown Salem.
The place was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax in between activities.
Leslie was commutative and accommodating, we would definitely stay here again.
Thanks Leslie!

Our family met for a Christmas gathering. Megan’s house is so inviting- a perfect place to make a big meal, sit around the dining room table and then around the fire in the living room. The house is warm, has plenty of sleeping spots, and just feels like home. Megan is an unbelievable host- thank you!
