The Upham House in Salem's Historic North Fields

Hosts were fantastic. Quick to respond to emails. Great communication on details. Home was spotless when I arrived. Host added some holiday decor for us as we were there at Christmas. Large yard with plenty of parking & sitting areas. Dog friendly. Quite safe neighborhood. I choose this home due to location. It is just a nice walk to the downtown area.

This house was in a quiet neighbor but walking distance to the attractions. House was very clean and everything we would need was provided.

Wow. What a nightmare. From the moment we drove up to the property w/an abandoned broken down vehicle parked at the front door, to when we walked into the 90 degree house (which didn't get below 77), to the point we were told to leave by 10am rather than 12 by the cleaning crew, this entire stay was a huge regret. Every issue we brought to the hosts' attention was either dismissed or outright lied about. No working A/C on the main floor of the home, no fire or carbon monoxide alarms installed, only sheer curtains on the main floor (and that was only on windows that actually had coverings), people let on the property without notice on multiple accounts. Regarding the heat, the hosts told us to open windows at night (no thanks), and sent a message at 11:30 am one day when we were sightseeing to offer to bring an A/C that afternoon (although claimed it would take HOURS to install). I didn't get the message due to no wifi where we were, but replied immediately upon our return to the house in the early evening. Didn't hear from them until night w/an excuse they had dinner plans and couldn't come. The fenced yard is a joke as there are gates with no latches, the neighbors have cameras pointed at the property from behind and the side which is invasive. The hands-off approach is also a lie as the host admitted her husband drove by and watched us at the end of our stay. How many other times were we watched??? There have to be better rentals in Salem. We are in discussion w/VRBO.

OMG we had So much fun and are looking forward to returning! Sam and Annick were the best! We got into town early and we able to get into the property early that was awesome! We got a welcome gift left on the porch witch LOL was so amazing! I will be glad to refer this property to all my friends and family! Property is just enough outside of town to not be in all the hustle and bustle for Halloween and you can even see the fireworks from the House Halloween night! Loved our stay!

Our group was two parents and three young adults 18-20. We had lots of space for everyone and had a wonderful time. The house was spotless upon arrival, and check in was easy. The house is a short 15 minute walk to downtown for tours and shopping. 2 full bathrooms and ample parking. Big backyard if you have little ones that want to run around. The firepit was a nice addition and we enjoyed a bonfire on our last night. Communication with owners was great. Would stay again.

The property is nicer than the pictures show. The hosts are great. Lots of necessary items on hand, excellent beds, immaculate house. We wish we had stayed long enough to enjoy the fire pit, but our stay was short.

The house was clean and didn't have the musty smell that many old houses do. It was a bit rough around the edges but that wasn't a problem. 3 of us stayed, so there was plenty of room, plenty of clean towels blankets and linens. Due to unforseen host family problems, it took a while to get a response from them when we had an issue, but they tried to rectify the problem as kindly

Enjoyed the stay

It was great

We really enjoyed our stay in North Salem. Quiet neighborhood but close to all in Salem and Beverly. Very clean older home - simple but met all our needs. Cute backyard. Highly recommended if you are looking for a family rental in this area.
