This is the best place to stay in Salem. The Garden Studio is warm and inviting, and it was much bigger than it appears in the pictures. It felt like home, very cozy and very inviting. Sara is such a nice and warm person, providing gluten-free food and making great restaurant suggestions. I stayed in Salem for a conference and wished I would have had more time enjoying the studio and chatting with Sara. I also loved the view and quiet of the garden. I will be back for a vacation some day. Like I said, the best place in Salem is the Garden Studio.
