About this house rental
Welcome to Ben Lomond House! Guest reviews confirm that this is an ideal family gathering spot for family get togethers, relaxation, or work. The well appointed kitchen with granite slab, comfortable beds in large bedrooms, fireplace, grand piano, and numerous spaces for relaxation make this home very desirable. Past guests include multi-generational families, professionals, and recording artists.The home is very centrally located on a quiet, secluded street in a neighborhood that is a mix of historic homes including the Governor's Mansion as well as other nice homes built during the 20th Century. Adults tend to comment on the master suite with with view of the gardens through the bay window, numerous dining spots, beds and linens, and genuine works of art adorning the walls. Kids are drawn to the lofts in the upstairs bedrooms, the tower room, balcony, and toys and games. Half a block away is a nice park adjoining a one hundred year old school with playground; four blocks away numerous dining options can be found, including Salem's best coffee house and crêperie and a restaurant with 20 beers on tap. Wine country starts just outside city limits and Portland and the Oregon Coast are a one hour drive away. It is my hope that you will feel completely at home here.

We really enjoyed our time in this house. It has a great porch to hang out on, and room AC units to keep things cool in the summer. Rooms were comfortable, and the kitchen area worked great for our group to make meals and eat together. Also, parking was plentiful for accommodating our groups multiple cars.

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with this home. The way it is set up allows ample private space for multiple families. The downstairs has many inviting gathering spaces where adults could chat. The kids were delighted with the upstairs “tower” rooms and foosball table. There is so much character and charm to both the home and the neighborhood. Matthew went above and beyond as a host and our trip could not have been better as a result. I would highly recommend this property and feel incredibly thankful we had this space for our stay in Salem.

This was the perfect place for our family
Among many great things about this house my favorite was the view out the master bedroom window while drinking coffee every morning. The kids loved the upstairs area and the fun lofts.

Perfect staycation location
We needed a spot to host our daughter and a few friends for her 14th birthday party. This house could not have been more perfect. They enjoyed the backyard and gazebo soon followed by having a movie upstairs. We all enjoyed the quaintness of the Tower room... mentioning Rapunzel more than a few times. The host was easy to reach and offered great help when we couldn't get the internet connected (user error!) This home was everything we wanted and more. The only thing I would change was staying longer. The bathtub in the primary bathroom was a welcome reprieve once the party guests went home.

Charming Victorian style in South Salem
Matthew was a perfect host. Available if needed, asked several times if we needed anything, and respectful of our privacy. The home is very comfortable and kitchen is well appointed for just about any cooking you’d like to do. We had family meals in the dining room, sat on the cozy deck for wine time, and enjoyed conversations and quiet time in the living room. The upstairs is very unique and all about bedrooms…if we had 10 more in our party they’d all have a place to sleep! Would definitely stay again.

Salem Stay
Check in was easy. Communication with the owner was great. The house was neat, clean, convenient to all the places we traveled to and comfortable. The only suggestion I have for the owner is make a list of tv channels you get in the house. We had a heck of a time figuring it out. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting Salem, Oregon. Great house.

This property worked great for us. We rented it for an entire month as we were working in the area. Matthew (the property owner) was awesome to work with. Just so you know, this place is very big and came stocked with cooking amenities that were great.

Ben Lomand Treasure
We had a wonderful time spending Christmas and New Years at this charming Victorian mansion! The property is beautiful and perfect for multi-generational gatherings. My kids loved the gazebo off the back porch and the loft bedrooms and tower room. The house has everything you would want for a getaway and is very clean and well-maintained. Matthew was a wonderful host and was very attentive to our needs - he even dropped off a gas can when my niece ran out of gas in the neighborhood! Don’t hesitate to rent this house, you will not be sorry.

Perfect haven for our large, extended family.
Matthew was a dear to deal with, there if you needed him but not intrusive. He responded quickly to questions that came up and offered advise when asked and made a few suggestions. The house was wonderful, full of surprises, in a delightful neighborhood which we really enjoyed. It's hard to say what my favorite part was but I did appreciate the front porch and gazebo type extension. The small children loved the upstairs open area and made good use of all the toys. There were eleven of us total and there was room for everyone to find a spot to settle. Our children/grandchildren are musical so we really appreciated the piano and guitar available. The only down side was the parking which is a little limited but Matthew showed us how to deal with that. In a capsule, it was a great place to make memories and the kids are already wanting to return there next year.

Beautiful home with lots of character
We rented this home for the week of our son’s graduation and again for his wedding. Such a beautiful, comfortable and fun home! The owner is quick to communicate and reliable. The home has tons of character and easily sleeps multiple families. We highly recommend.

Comfortable and charming...perfect for kids
We really enjoyed our stay we had a party of 10 ranging in age from 2 to 50 the house suited everyone .. Matthew was great to work with he even checked to see if we needed ideas of fun things to do while in town and even made sure we new that there where kids toys. though he lives on site we hardly new he was there. The beds are super comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed...thanks again Matthew!

Well equipped for large group
We used this place as the home base during a wedding weekend. There was plenty of space to sleep and feed out of town family and a well equipped kitchen. The upstairs landing worked beautifully for the bridesmaids getting ready. There was even a full length mirror already provided! The owner was easy to work with. Would totally stay here again!
As is noted in the profile, parking is limited to just a few cars that can fit in the driveway. We, unfortunately, had lots of cars coming and going due to the wedding prep, but made it work with several people parking a block away.

Lots of room.
I'd stay at this home again. Very spacious. We were worried about room to park off the street as requested, but we fit four cars in the driveway just fine.
Thx

Perfect spot!
This is a charming place that we felt at home in right away. We hosted family and friends the week before our daughter's wedding - the location and size was what attracted us to it at first.
Matthew was a great host and very helpful with figuring out random last minute things that came up during our preparations.
We used every bed and easily housed the maximum of 12 people. The openness and the size of the upstairs surprised me and that beautiful light-filled room was perfect for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready for the ceremony. Matthew was also kind enough to allow us to take "getting ready" and "first look" photos at the house. Overall HIGHLY recommend!
