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!

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.

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!

8/10 Very Good

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.
