We spent a weekend at Diane's place while visiting our daughter who attends Corban. It was a perfect location for that purpose, right by the campus. We have stayed at various hotels in Salem, and this was so much more convenient and comfortable. The rooms were clean and quiet; the view out the windows onto a garden and wooded area, with a bit of a view of the valley, was beautiful and peaceful. The hosts were very kind and welcoming, and we enjoyed chatting with them, but they also left us alone. There were many hospitable touches such as little muffins, yogurt and juice in the fridge, paper cups by the sink, coffee and cereal available, and a water dispenser that Diane kept filled for us. The kitchenette area consists of a small fridge, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, and a few supplies. There is no kitchen sink or counters, nor freezer to speak of (although I've no doubt Diane would have put something in her freezer for us if we'd asked --- she was very accommodating). An extra table somewhere to provide more "counter" space would be helpful. But in general, if you are planning on eating in, keep it simple, with items that don't require a lot of prep or freezer space, and you’ll do great. All in all, a very nice stay and we will definitely be back!
