A Beautiful Salem Stay

We cannot thank Stepping Stone Inn enough for their hospitality during our stay in Salem! It's a beautiful, central location that is in easy walking distance to everything. The home is so cozy and welcoming, the house cats are cuddly, and Matt's coffee truly gets you ready for the day. Don't think hesitate - stay here on your visit to Salem because you won't regret it! Thank you again, Matt & Kelly!

Absolute Best Location in Salem. Everything about this B&B was great. Super friendly and beautiful place. Although we were told the place was full we didn’t hear a sound from others. It was a few minutes from the City witch mall and the pedestrian shopping. Also within the same distance to the trolley stop (which I highly recommend). If you’re looking for a great experience then stay here.

We LOVED the Stepping Stone Inn. Super walk-to-all location, wonderfully decorated, and innkeepers Matt, Kelly, and Bobby are genuinely delightful. (So was Clifford the cat!). They had tremendous recommendations for sites to see and terrific dining establishments. Felt like family!

Cozy historic bed and breakfast

This historic house is nestled directly next to the Salem Witch Museum and within walking distance of all the must-see tourist sites. The house is rich with history and the owners were lovely. They offered a low key breakfast in the mornings with deliciously brewed coffee. They also have two adorable resident cats who had fun interacting with the guests. The added perk was the property’s two adjacent parking spots located next to the home on the dead-end side street, otherwise a complimentary parking pass was provided to store your vehicle less than a block away in the public garage. I’d definitely stay here again.

Run by the kindest people (and friendliest cats!) in all of Salem, and could not possibly be more centrally located! You can walk everywhere from here, and you have a front row seat to any events in the square - it's literally right across the street. Parking in Salem is at a premium, and we are driving a crew cab truck to make it even worse, but Matt went WELL above and beyond to make sure we got a great spot. Do note - it's a lovely old house, but like most old houses, it does have steps, and they are steep. Easily navigable, but being able to go up and down steps is a must. We really really enjoyed our hosts and our stay!

Great accommodation, and Matt was incredibly helpful in planning our visit to Salem. We were in the uppermost two rooms, so the bathroom was a bit small, but otherwise it was a perfect place to stay the night during our visit. Appreciate Matt's availability and information resources!!

Lovely stay at the Stepping Stone. Matt was very helpful pointing things out locally, and their ‘butler’/cat Clifford was a cutie who welcomed us into our room. Close to everything in downtown Salem & right next to the Witch Museum & the town common. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Matt and Kelly were so welcoming and helpful. We felt like this was our home away from home! They even provided a free voucher to one of the local cafe's since due to covid, they were not making breakfast. The café food was amazing and Matt's coffee was even better. But the best part though out of this whole stay were the cats Blakey and Sonny! Best butlers around town!

Matt and Kelly were the perfect hosts! They accommodated our early check-in without issue, and were so welcoming to their beautiful inn. They provided us keys to both our room and the home so we could come and go as we please, and provided us with tons of recommendations for dinner, entertainment and general things to do around the city! Could not recommend the Stepping Stone Inn more and we will definitely be returning for another stay next year!

The common areas are wonderful, open and well appointed. Our room required rather steep stairs to access. It had a in suite bath which was excellent but it had taken up some of the room to have been added. A little tight but all told it has been a excellent experience.
