A Beautiful Salem Stay

We cannot thank Stepping Stone Inn enough for their hospitality during our stay in Salem! It's a beautiful, central location that is in easy walking distance to everything. The home is so cozy and welcoming, the house cats are cuddly, and Matt's coffee truly gets you ready for the day. Don't think hesitate - stay here on your visit to Salem because you won't regret it! Thank you again, Matt & Kelly!

Lovely stay at the Stepping Stone. Matt was very helpful pointing things out locally, and their ‘butler’/cat Clifford was a cutie who welcomed us into our room. Close to everything in downtown Salem & right next to the Witch Museum & the town common. Highly recommended. Thank you!

The hospitality of Matt was amazing. The moment we walked into his beautiful establishment we knew that we made the best choice. When we visit Salem again we will stay no where else. Thank you Matt for the unforgetable experiance

Great night in Salem. I wish we could have stayed longer. Hoping to come back again someday. The cats were an added bonus. ❤️🐈‍⬛

Cozy historic bed and breakfast

This historic house is nestled directly next to the Salem Witch Museum and within walking distance of all the must-see tourist sites. The house is rich with history and the owners were lovely. They offered a low key breakfast in the mornings with deliciously brewed coffee. They also have two adorable resident cats who had fun interacting with the guests. The added perk was the property’s two adjacent parking spots located next to the home on the dead-end side street, otherwise a complimentary parking pass was provided to store your vehicle less than a block away in the public garage. I’d definitely stay here again.

Matt and Kelly were so welcoming and helpful. We felt like this was our home away from home! They even provided a free voucher to one of the local cafe's since due to covid, they were not making breakfast. The café food was amazing and Matt's coffee was even better. But the best part though out of this whole stay were the cats Blakey and Sonny! Best butlers around town!
Dustin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Run by the kindest people (and friendliest cats!) in all of Salem, and could not possibly be more centrally located! You can walk everywhere from here, and you have a front row seat to any events in the square - it's literally right across the street. Parking in Salem is at a premium, and we are driving a crew cab truck to make it even worse, but Matt went WELL above and beyond to make sure we got a great spot. Do note - it's a lovely old house, but like most old houses, it does have steps, and they are steep. Easily navigable, but being able to go up and down steps is a must. We really really enjoyed our hosts and our stay!

We LOVED the Stepping Stone Inn. Super walk-to-all location, wonderfully decorated, and innkeepers Matt, Kelly, and Bobby are genuinely delightful. (So was Clifford the cat!). They had tremendous recommendations for sites to see and terrific dining establishments. Felt like family!
