We stayed there the 9th, 10th, and 11th of June of this year. On the 10th I went and turned 40. Frankly, I planned my vacation to cheer me up. This was a wonderful place to stay. Our room was clean, pretty, well-appointed, and quiet -- no noises from the other rooms. We had plans and tours so we never... more

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights (6/11 and 6/12). This was our first trip to Salem as well as our first B&B, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our hosts - Ada & Donald were the best hosts, answered what questions we had and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The accomodations were excellent - we... more

We loved the location! We were able to park the car on the side street, and just leave it, and walk everyplace in Salem! Ada and Don were wonderful hosts and the breakfast was fantastic. Ada made heart shaped waffles lst morning, then a wonderful quiche the next, always with piping hot coffee, and fresh fruit! The room was so... more

We had chosen this due to it's location (within walking distance to everything in town), the value, and the positive reviews. First, the room was excellent, huge and clean. The hosts were awesome, and very friendly. They... more

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful guest house for three nights. The room was very nice, the location was within walking distance of all of the sights and the location was mostly quiet and peaceful for a nice getaway. The highlight of this place is in the quality of the hosts though. Donald and Ada are by far... more

I enjoyed my 10-day stay at the Amelia Payson House immensely! Friendly hosts, lovely food, immaculate rooms-what more could one ask for? This air-conditioned B&B is within walking distance of all major attractions in Salem, and the hosts are endlessly patient with queries for directions. One day when I was running late, the host even gave me a ride to... more

My friend and I recently stayed at the Amelia Payson House and although it was only for one night, we were throughly spoiled and impressed by what this bed and breakfast had to offer. First, we LOVED our room - it was spacious, tidy, and very clean. The decor also seemed to follow the tone set by the house structurally... more
