For the 3 rating on cleanness the outdoor furniture very dirty. Needed a good cleaning before able to use. The front and back. Also, all of the guests were the age of 65 and up and some grab rail in the shower would be nice and a mat for the tub. Please consider better quality of toilet paper. ##### Margaret D.

It was very clean and nicely updated. The kitchen was well stocked. We missed out on using the fire pit due to it raining during our visit. It was very thoughtful to leave a supply for s’mores. I loved sitting on the rocking chairs on the covered porch. We saw deer every day! We even befriended the dog across the street who followed us home. Great place to stay. ##### Wendy V. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 22 Feb 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice cottage but… Lovely renovation close to great hiking makes this a good option. Unfortunately the floors were really dirty, and the smell of cigarette smoke took away the charm. Ginnie was very responsive once I made her aware of the issues, but if you have any sensitivity to smoke smell I it’s a significant problem. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert M. 4 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautifully updated home with modern amenities, very nicely decorated and well stocked. The property was beautiful with an amazing back patio and fire pit (although we didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit) it is something we will use next time. Very nicely decorated with new clean furnishings and the s’mores were a nice touch. This is a bit off the beaten path at first but then you get to enjoy the beauty of the birds singing in the mornings. There is also an amazing breakfast place just in town of Salem called Salem diner that serves amazing breakfast, recommend the eggs and biscuits with gravy. I’ve eaten at a lot of places in all my travels and probably the best biscuits and gravy I can remember. We enjoyed our stay and will book again. ##### Robert M.

Extremely clean, perfect location, Loved the fire pit! We ate at the new place 3miles down the road called Hanging Rock Tavern, highly suggest them!
