Salem "North Fields" House - Parking Galore! - Pets Welcome!

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.

Witchy get-away 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

Awesome Vacation Rental Annick & Sam are great hosts, they provide all the basics including toiletries and laundry supplies, very hospitable. Perfectly located on a quiet street walking distance to multiple convenience stores and a quaint coffee shop & short drive to downtown Salem. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to everyone.
