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

We stayed at the Inn over labor day. The location could not be better and the house is part of the history of Salem. Our room was immaculate and the host was charming. We enjoyed the area so much we stayed one extra day. It is a very good value more

We loved staying in this Inn, the owner was very friendly, helpful. The bed was so comfortable. Sadly not much of any worth to see in Salem, too hyped up, had a very manufactured feel to it. The breakfast at the Stepping Stones was interesting! We had become used to huge american breakfasts, so it didnt do us any harm... more

The location was excellent. Close to the shops, Witch Musuem and park. We stayed at this inn for one night at the begining of September. We did not arrive until early evening, and simply placed our bags in the room. The room was small, and so was the TV. There was an on-suite shower room and toilet. When we returned... more

I've heard forever that the best place to stay in Salem is The Stepping Stone Inn and now I know why. Not only is this B&B in the heart of Salem, but John is probably one of the best innkeepers that I've ever met. I took my 2 nieces and nephew (ages 12 & 14) here about 2 weeks before... more

We stayed for one night at this clean, comfortable inn. John, the innkeeper, was friendly and very hospitable. The room was well decorated, and the bed was comfortable. There was a continental breakfast of cereal, fruit, juice and coffee that was fine. The room rate was $115 which was wonderful compared to the $375 that we paid in Newport, Rhode... more

When we arrived in town for a wedding and the big hotel down the street lost our reservation, we had to scramble. Luckily we got John's last room at the Stepping Stone. Since we'd be at a rehearsal dinner one night and a reception the next it's not like we missed having a pool, movie channels or other amenities. We... more

We stayed at the Stepping stone inn and were very disappointed with the room size and lack of tv/space. we were put up in the attick on the third floor that they called a room for $ 135 a night. Breakfast was ok, but you had to be downstairs by 9:30am at the latest to have breakfast before closing at... more
