About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A country getaway in upstate NY, surrounded by art and nature.

This dog-friendly Victorian Lovely is nestled in the valleys intersecting the upstate woodlands and those famous Vermont maples. Two bedrooms-- one queen and one twin make it perfect for couples, small families or groups of friends. Outside you'll enjoy a lovely, shared, half-acre green with colorful flower beds, outdoor dining and fire pits, and a babbling brook.
If you're feeling adventurous, just "beyond", bordering the yard, lies Salem Art Works: a sculpture park, arts center and artist's community. Our location in the hamlet of Salem means you’re just a short walk to our petite, historic downtown. Visit On a Limb Bakery, the Fort Salem Theater, Jacko's, the Historic Courthouse and more.

Yellow Door Inn proudly earned the title of Best Lodging in Washington County for 2024.

Comfortable Stay

We stayed in Salem for a long weekend while visiting SPAC in Saratoga Springs. We loved the area as well as the apartment. The place was very comfortable and the backyard was a lovely retreat for us and our dog. Would definitely stay again when we are in the area.

Another Lovely Stay!

We enjoyed another great stay at the Yellow Door Inn. The home and gardens are lovely and Klara and Greg provide a welcoming presence. We visited many of our favorite places in both NY and Vermont and enjoyed some of the restaurant suggestions made by our hosts. We will be back!

Lovely and comfortable home in Salem NY

My son and I had the privileged of staying in this beautiful home. There were many lovely details, interesting art, beautifully appointed kitchen, nice amenities in the bathroom etc. A very comfortable cozy place. While there I believe the biggest snow storm of the season happened, owners were wonderful about shoveling us out.

Best choice for Salem

The apartment is roomy, clean and comfortable, Vrbo hosts are very accommodating. We considered many options and knew that we made the right decision as soon as we walked in. We invited local family over; it rained but the kitchen, living room and dining room were perfect for the evening. Will recommend to family and friends in the future.

very clean place to stay, well organized first floor apartment, the owners live on the second floor, we didn't feel them (in a good way). In the kitchen you have everything you need to cook, so better bring your own groceries.

Delightful

This is our second and longest stay at Yellow Door. Klara and Greg are excellent hosts. The accommodations are clean and comfortable, and there is plenty to do! There is even a bean bag chair which my Grandsons loved. There are some nice added touches such as local fresh eggs, and coffee so you won't have to worry about breakfast your first morning there. Two thumbs up!

Everything was wonderful. It was pet friendly. We had many of everyday essentials in the property. Wi-Fi allowed me to stream with casting my movies and news. We had a fun time driving around. It is very scenic. We went to a bakery, the art exhibit, and two farmers/homemade goods places. Delicious Strawberry preserves at the farmer's market Saturday. It packed a punch. Very comfortable queen size bed. Newer model washer/dryer are in the apt. Hosts were very helpful and gracious.

Absolutely lovely place

We stayed in this lovely Victorian house, ground floor apartment. It was so wonderfully comfortable. Klara and Greg provided everything you could possibly need. And they are just the nicest, sweetest people ever. The apartment is in the historic area of Salem. The history of the town was fascinating. The artwork around town was interesting to see. We also took a short walk/hike nearby through the snow. Keep in mind there are no restaurants or grocery stores nearby. We liked the Burger Den (diner food) that was about 12 minutes away. There’s a Hannaford grocery store about 20 minutes away so we cooked at the apartment. We just loved the peaceful nature of the area. Great place to stay and decompress.

Quaint Little Oasis

Staying in this charming house was a truly delightful experience for my husband and I! The house is a duplex with our quarters being completely private on the lower level. The hosts live in the other unit above. We never ever heard them. Ever! Nestled in a picturesque, quaint town, it felt like we’d stepped into a storybook. The town itself is small, with only two restaurants and a sweet community theater that hosts local plays—a perfect touch that adds to its welcoming vibe. We walked to dinner at the local restaurant each night, and also walked to the theater. It was spectacular. The house’s grounds were stunning, with lovely gardens and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax and unwind. Were we free to enjoy the yard. Our hosts were fantastic, always responsive and genuinely caring, making sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a quiet, charming escape with a touch of small-town magic, this is the place to be!

Home away from home

Wow! The hosts have thought of everything, from the moment you walk in you easily find all you need. Cabinets are labeled for easy access, extra hooks are provided in the bathroom, tissues by all the beds and extra blankets in the living room. We easily make ourselves at home. They did a beautiful job restoring the property. Cell signal is quite sketchy traveling to the house. It is best to be prepared for this and know you may need to restart your phone once your arrive. this was all we needed to regain a signal and access the check in code . I would also suggest new mattresses. We did have some trouble sleeping on the queen bed due to the mattress. The town is very quiet and peaceful. We drove about 35 minutes to nearby towns in Vermont while we were there.
