We loved the location! We were able to park the car on the side street, and just leave it, and walk everyplace in Salem! Ada and Don were wonderful hosts and the breakfast was fantastic. Ada made heart shaped waffles lst morning, then a wonderful quiche the next, always with piping hot coffee, and fresh fruit! The room was so... more

We expected the usual Bed & Breakfast stay, but the house was beautifully decorated with period antiques that you felt you were transported back in time. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everyday necessities. The house was lovely and we were pleasantly surprised with the family style breakfast of adorable heart-shaped waffles, fresh fruit, pastries and... more

We had an awesome experience staying at this B&B, the room was beautiful and perfectly maintained. The hosts Don and Ada were wonderful, they were friendly, gracious and very helpful to us. We very much enjoyed our morning conversations with them and the other guests over breakfast. The location is great and attractions are within walking distance. We would absolutely... more

This was the first time we have ever stayed at a Bed and Breakfast, so we did not really know what to expect. We had chosen this due to it's location (within walking distance to everything in town), the value, and the positive reviews. First, the room was excellent, huge and clean. The hosts were awesome, and very friendly. They... more

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful guest house for three nights. The room was very nice, the location was within walking distance of all of the sights and the location was mostly quiet and peaceful for a nice getaway. The highlight of this place is in the quality of the hosts though. Donald and Ada are by far... more

I enjoyed my 10-day stay at the Amelia Payson House immensely! Friendly hosts, lovely food, immaculate rooms-what more could one ask for? This air-conditioned B&B is within walking distance of all major attractions in Salem, and the hosts are endlessly patient with queries for directions. One day when I was running late, the host even gave me a ride to... more

My friend and I recently stayed at the Amelia Payson House and although it was only for one night, we were throughly spoiled and impressed by what this bed and breakfast had to offer. First, we LOVED our room - it was spacious, tidy, and very clean. The decor also seemed to follow the tone set by the house structurally... more

By far the best B&B I have been lucky enough to experience! Everything was perfect! The rooms were beautiful and roomy (lots more space and fun than my 4-star hotel in Boston)! Breakfast was fantastic and treats, tea & coffee were always available. But the best quality of the stay were the patrons. Ada & Donald make you feel like... more

When you ring the bell and the wonderful Ada greets you, you know you are in for something special. The beautiful, large guest rooms are impeccably clean and nicely appointed with sizable bathrooms. The beds are comfortable. The house is within walking distance to everything you may want to see in Salem. Breakfast was served in a common dining area... more
