The location was quiet and close to the water. If we had had more time, we would have been tempted to try out the kayaks. The road was also good for a morning walk as it had sidewalks most of the way and not a lot of traffic. The bed was comfortable and the stove worked well. I cooked 12 lobsters over the course of two days (brought my own lobster pot). The water heated quickly and the burner was responsive to the dial so I was able to keep adjusting to keep the water from boiling over. It was quite warm while we were there and the two window A/C units struggled a bit to keep the rooms cool. The washer and dryer were a plus. The owner was easy to get in touch with.

Great quiet place for two near beautiful pond

A quaint little home in a quiet wooded cul de sac very close to a pond. Best for two people, as more than that it starts to get a little cozy for dining/sleeping/sitting purposes. Lovely view of the pond, although the home is set back a few houses from the pond itself.

Great stay on Pleasant St

This house is perfect for two or three people. It’s in good shape, has a small but fully working kitchen, and is right by the pond! My wife and I slept in the bedroom upstairs and our 17-year-old son slept on the futon in the living room. Very manageable. The laundry access is a nice bonus. Nice little house, fully functional. Would like to stay here again for the third time!

Very cute space!

Very cute spot! Lake was beautiful. Close for Ubering to and from Salem which is why we were there. There seemed to be a miscommunication on allowing us to check in early, however, bc when we arrived dirty towels were still in a pile on the bathroom and the bed sheets were used. Not a huge deal, we stripped the bed ourselves and added new sheets and cleaning crew came around 45 minutes before “normal” check in and did the rest. Also was pretty cold at night and in early morning and unsure how heat worked, not a lot of communication on the app but we were able to find a space heater downstairs in the basement! All in all good stay and comfortable space! Would stay again.

We came for a trip to Salem and ended up loving the area just as much. It was a great space for the two of us with a nice view of the pond and in a quiet neighborhood. Great for the weekend get away.

The neighborhood was very charming. We all fell in love. The swans on the pond couldn’t have been more perfect. All around it was a wonderful stay and trip. My only suggestion would be to get a pull out couch. The futon wasn’t very comfortable.
