Salem Family Fun!

We had 2 of our children from California and the grandkids home for a family reunion for both sides of our family. Richard was a great host and called me ahead of time to give me a heads up on restaurants and attractions. Later in the week, Richard joined us on the back patio and gave us incredible information about the history of the house. This house is much larger than it looks like online. Bedrooms are huge and a very well equipped kitchen made our visit just like home. Thanks Richard. Next time we come back to Boston we will be sure to stay here again!

Beautiful home and welcoming, accommodating owner

12 members of my family (8 adults, 4 children ages 6mos — 5yrs) recently stayed at Rich’s property for a family reunion. The home is even more beautiful than in pictures, and I was a little worried when I walked into a property full of authentic period antiques. But Rich was very kind (and pointed out that he’d raised three children there himself), and also indicated which items were particularly fragile so we could make sure they were out of the children’s reach. The backyard was particularly beautiful, and we made great use of it and were able to grill. I would highly recommend this large, comfortable, gorgeous property, and am so grateful to Rich for the opportunity to stay there.

Great Home for a Big Family Celebration

We were looking for a home that could accommodate my extended family for a weekend that culminated in my son’s graduation from Tuft’s. Close to everything Salem has to offer, this gracious historic home with the fabulous sunroom is thoughtfully appointed and the kitchen/bedrooms/bathrooms had everything we needed. Rich was excellent with communication. He met us at the home when we arrived and we toured the home together while he educated us on its history. He also gave us some very helpful advice about negotiating Logan airport because some of us were arriving late Friday, or recommending nearby restaurants. Check out was easy. We had two Octogenarians in our group and the 2nd floor rooms accommodated them well. We did not have any family members under the age of 21. Everybody enjoyed the home. Salem is such an interesting and vibrant town. It was a wonderful weekend. Highly recommended. Thanks, Rich!

A slice of the good life

We could not have enjoyed staying here more. The photos show an elegant and comfortable grand home, but they don’t hold a candle to the reality. The home was so elegant and so comfortable. We were a group of 11 friends coming for a magical weekend in Salem and the home became the centerpiece of our time (and photo shoot) in the best possible way. I hope I get a chance to say somewhere this beautiful again soon. Salem was beautiful and this home was a privilege to stay in as we explored her wonderful history.

Beautiful large historic home in Salem

Our family traveled to Salem for a wedding. This home is huge. Pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful antiques, art and carpet. Plenty of room for everybody. The sun room is amazing and so comfortable. Perfect location in Salem for walking around town. The owner lives in the home and meets you at check in to discuss some of the characteristics of the home. This is my first Vrbo where the owner actually lives there and packs a bag to leave when you arrive. Because the owner lives there it was a challenge unpacking your suitcase and finding space for your items because the dressers were full of personal items. There was a rolling clothing rack provided where you could hang up your clothes in each room. Sometimes I wasn’t sure what items I could use in the house and what things I should not touch. I felt like I was staying in my very friendly uncle’s home instead of a vacation home where I could just unpack and chill out. Due to the age of the home, there is no central air conditioning. However, there are individual units in each room as well as fans that help keep the rooms cool. Once I got over my own apprehension about touching things, we relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the home. I would highly recommend staying here if you are an antique lover or a history lover, because this location and this house cannot be beat.

Fabulous Halloween tri.

This was the PERFECT place for our visit to Salem for Halloween. Very quiet, quaint, old residential street. About a half mile walk to the hubbub of the downtown festivities. Lots of trick-or-treat kiddos that we enjoyed handing out candy to.
