Wow. A beautiful home in a beautiful setting. I was lucky enough to be present on a day where the lawn had been freshly mowed. I say this because there is an abundance of mint in the yard and it made the outside (and inside if the window was open) smell so lovely like fresh mint. Karen was a delightful host and gave me the privacy I needed as I was on a work trip. It is a historic house that has an interesting story and a couple quirks (hence the less than 5 stars on the amenities). Other than that I highly recommend this home to anyone who stays in Salem for business or for pleasure. Thank you for hosting me and sharing the beautiful space with me!
