Ada and Don have been running their B&B for many years and it shows. They know what they need to do and what they don't need to do, and it leaves them free to be relaxed, happy, flexible and helpful hosts. They are clearly committed to Salem's success as a tourist destination and keen to make sure visitors get good... more

This was my husband and my first experience at a bed and breakfast. Wow, how awesome. The room and bathroom was spacious and spotlessly clean. The house itself is beautiful and historic. The location is perfect and you can walk to every attraction in Salem or take the ferry to Boston. Ada and Donald are wonderful hosts, friendly, charming and... more

Spent 3 nights at the Amelia Payson in June of 2008 and had a fantastic stay. The B&B is situated on a residential street, just a block away from the large park in Salem and walking distance from everything in Salem. It is also not too far (walking distance) from the Commuter Rail station. You can take the commuter rail... 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.
