Quiet & cozy place to stay

Next time I am in Salem, I’m staying here again. The lady who runs this house was very easy to contact for any questions. She is more than accommodating and responds very fast. The bed is comfortable, the shower stays nice and hot. Easy access to everything in town. A very cozy place to be.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Dobbins

Host profile image
My husband and I retired after 33 years in the Military and decided Salem was the right fit for us. The rock house started out as a get-away while we were working, and a place in the summer to persue his fly-fishing passion. I visited in the summers here in Salem with my Grandma, Aunts, Uncles and cousins, so it has always been my second home. I love to travel, buy houses (it’s an addiction) decorate and keep up with the Grandkids! My husband is Mr. Fix-It, and together we have made a special place for you to come and relax.

Why they chose this property

This property was a mess when we bought it. It took us 3 years, little by little, to get it back in shape. The house was built somewhere in the 1800’s and once was a part of a 1,500 acre parcel. No records on exactly when the home was built could be located. This is a unique property- old on the outside and remodeled on the inside. Just perfect if you have a little “Farmhouse Chic” in your soul.

What makes this property unique

Large back lot backing up to small tributary of Spring Creek.
