My husband and I reserved rooms at the Stepping Stone in back in October, 2007, and returned to the Salem/Boston area with my parents in May, 2008. We were so thrilled with the S.S. Inn and John, the owner, that we decided to stay there again on our most recent trip. If you are seeking a luxurious room with a... more

On the last leg of our week long trip to Maine we ended up at the Stepping Stone Inn in Salem, MA. It was at a time when the city was full up with witch wannabes. Because it was so near Halloween there were many things going on and not many rooms available in town. We were at a bar... more

I absolutely LOVED staying at this charming inn. We got the room on the top floor, and were warned that the ceilings were low. It was only because it's an attic-type space, and we're average-sized people, so it didn't affect us. In fact, it just added to the charm. I loved the decor, and the fact that the house is... more

Very well located and reasonably priced. However room small and "bathroom" doll-house sized. If you weigh over 150 lbs., you will not fit into the bathroom. Very limited parking Minimal breakfast (continental.) Cordial host. more

The location and price of the Stepping Stones Inn was good. And the place was relatively clean. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend this inn. There was no charm, no warmth to the inn or the rooms. The bathroom was tiny (and I am only 115 pounds, I'm not a big person!). The breakfast was absolutely skimpy and cheap. There... more

LOVED the B & B. Rooms are very clean, the owner is a pleasure to speak with. Had another couple with us that never stayed in a B & B before and they were very impressed. I cannot stress how well John keeps the house clean and comfortable. The location is great, Salem is not a big town, but this... more

I stayed at the stepping stone in in May 2007. I found it to be a very enjoyable experience. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable . I found John the innkeeper to be very helpful in providing me with info on things to do. I enjoyed the breakfast especially the fresh fruit. But the best aspect of... more

Wouldn't stay here again. Let's start with the good aspect -- the place was clean. My husband and I love to stay at B & B's and enjoy our various experiences. But the Stepping Stone Inn was just a place to stay -- not warm and welcoming, not cozy, and overall exuded a spirit of stinginess. The bed, while uncomfortable... more

We stayed at the Inn durin a very rainy October weekend as an Anniversary trip for my husband and myself as well as my sister and brother in law. The rooms were clean, the home itself lovely and John, the innkeeper was gracious and very helpful. We were within easy walking distance of everything. The only problems with this inn... more
