We stayed for a week in this wonderful home with our 2 dogs. The first 2 nights we had our kids with us before we dropped them off at summer camp. The house was perfect. Extremely clean, and stocked up with everything you might need. The beds are very comfortable. We absolutely loved the yard/garden. We had most of our meals outside on the patio listening to the river rush by as the dogs played on the grass. The house is close to tons of delicious restaurants (the breakfast place down the street is unbelievable!). There is nothing I would change about our stay. Thank you for sharing your charming home with us, can’t wait to come back.

This was our second time renting this home. It has an extremely well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and cozy living areas for gathering. The yard is also amazing! I️ could sit and listen to the creek for hours. Close to downtown/Willamette University. I️ highly recommend this home!

This beautiful, darling yellow house in Salem is THE best vacation home we have ever rented (and we have traveled all over the world). It is immaculate, very well appointed with everything you need in any situation. The house itself is beautifully designed with comfortable, high end furniture that is cozy and great for hanging out. Even though it is a historic home it offers all the modern amenities that you are looking for. The location and gardens, next to the creek, are tranquil and serene offering comfy furniture to sit in the sun, listen to the creek and enjoy a BBQ. The host is amazing and gets everything ready for your arrival. Our only regret is that our trip was so short. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
