Staying at the boat house was great! My boyfriend and I are planning to move to Salem and needed a reasonably priced place to stay for 2 nights to look for apartments. The location was right in the middle of everywhere we needed to go. The place was charming with a separate enterance. Leigh was very quick with all responses. She greeted as we arrived a few minutes early with Ryder (he is adorable) to make sure we got settled. She was very personable and made sure to give us pointers on food and areas to check out. It was very cold out and she even turned on the heater for us. The place was clean, the bed comfy, and had everything we needed. As others mentioned, your showers need to be quick due to hot water running out, but Leigh mentions that in the instructions and it didn't bother us much. Overall it was a great way to be greeted in Salem and we would definitely recommend!
