Staying at Chuck and Lorie's place was such a treat! The place is really spacious and much like an apartment, except there is no kitchen. However, they do provide a mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, dishes, and even a crock pot. The bathroom had everything I needed including shampoo, conditioner, and a good blow dryer. The gas fireplace in the living room was easy to operate and very relaxing in the cool evenings with a book and a glass of wine. (They provide snacks and a lovely bottle of wine.) During the afternoon we were visited by a family of deer, visible through the large picture window in the living room. I appreciated how clean the place was as well as they very detailed and easy to follow instructions for everything. Street parking was easy, and the location is about 10 minutes from downtown Salem by car. I visit Salem a few times a year in will definitely be looking them up again.
