Salem, Oregon
Welcome to Ben Lomond House! Guest reviews confirm that this is an ideal family gathering spot for family get togethers, relaxation, or work. The well appointed kitchen with granite slab, extremely comfortable beds in large bedrooms, fireplace, grand piano, and numerous spaces for relaxation make this home very desirable. Past guests include multi-generational families, professionals, and recording artists.The home is very centrally located on a quiet, secluded street in a neighborhood that is a mix of historic homes including the Governor's Mansion as well as other nice homes built during the 20th Century. Adults tend to comment on the master suite with with view of the gardens through the bay window, numerous dining spots, beds and linens, and genuine works of art adorning the walls. Kids are drawn to the lofts in the upstairs bedrooms, the tower room, balcony, and toys and games. Half a block away is a nice park adjoining a one hundred year old school with playground; four blocks away numerous dining options can be found, including Salem's best coffee house and crêperie and a restaurant with 20 beers on tap. Wine country starts just outside city limits and Portland and the Oregon Coast are a one hour drive away. It is my hope that you will feel completely at home here.

House was great and Matthew was very attentive.
I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with this home. The way it is set up allows ample private space for multiple families. The downstairs has many inviting gathering spaces where adults could chat. The kids were delighted with the upstairs “tower” rooms and foosball table. There is so much character and charm to both the home and the neighborhood. Matthew went above and beyond as a host and our trip could not have been better as a result. I would highly recommend this property and feel incredibly thankful we had this space for our stay in Salem.
This home was perfect for our family’s stay in Salem. Great location, plenty of room, and very friendly and helpful owner/manager. We’ll stay here again.
Lots of beds. Well equipped kitchen.
We loved this house! It was so interesting and spacious and met all our needs. There was lots of room and the four of us each had our own room. The beds were quite comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again if we were in Salem.
Very comfortable place for the 9 of us to relax and eat and sleep. House was well equipped. We could easily park 4 cars in the driveway. Great location. Would stay here again!!!!
Great property with lots of space for all. Quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend!
Came to town for a family reunion and this house was perfect. Stayed here with my sister and her family and we had plenty of space. Great location.
Among many great things about this house my favorite was the view out the master bedroom window while drinking coffee every morning. The kids loved the upstairs area and the fun lofts.
