About this property

Nob Hill 4 Bedroom 3 Bath Neo-Victorian Home

Welcome to Ben Lomond House! Guest reviews confirm that this is an ideal family gathering spot for family get togethers, relaxation, or work. The well appointed kitchen with granite slab, comfortable beds in large bedrooms, fireplace, grand piano, and numerous spaces for relaxation make this home very desirable. Past guests include multi-generational families, professionals, and recording artists.The home is very centrally located on a quiet, secluded street in a neighborhood that is a mix of historic homes including the Governor's Mansion as well as other nice homes built during the 20th Century. Adults tend to comment on the master suite with with view of the gardens through the bay window, numerous dining spots, beds and linens, and genuine works of art adorning the walls. Kids are drawn to the lofts in the upstairs bedrooms, the tower room, balcony, and toys and games. Half a block away is a nice park adjoining a one hundred year old school with playground; four blocks away numerous dining options can be found, including Salem's best coffee house and crêperie and a restaurant with 20 beers on tap. Wine country starts just outside city limits and Portland and the Oregon Coast are a one hour drive away. It is my hope that you will feel completely at home here.

Christmas Stay in Salem

This property is gorgeous, clean, well equipped, and a perfect location. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas (inside and outside). We truly felt that we were home for Christmas. It is a great location, walking distance to many locations, and minutes from downtown. Great communication with Matthew, the property manager. We would definitely stay here, again.

Great house to visit Salem w/ family/friends

We really enjoyed our time in this house. It has a great porch to hang out on, and room AC units to keep things cool in the summer. Rooms were comfortable, and the kitchen area worked great for our group to make meals and eat together. Also, parking was plentiful for accommodating our groups multiple cars.

Matt's home was perfect for our family of five. It is nicely remodeled while keeping some of the quaint charm of yester-year. The beds were very comfortable. Mathew was very accommodating as it was a last minute booking.

Perfect House

This house was perfect for our group of high school students. There were plenty of rooms, cool little additions to rooms, plenty of Nerf guns and plenty of room. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Matthew, the owner, was excellent to work with, and I appreciate all he did for us. The kids loved the house and enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies. My hope is that when we come back next year this house will be available and we can stay here again.

Perfect family home in a charming neighborhood

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with this home. The way it is set up allows ample private space for multiple families. The downstairs has many inviting gathering spaces where adults could chat. The kids were delighted with the upstairs “tower” rooms and foosball table. There is so much character and charm to both the home and the neighborhood. Matthew went above and beyond as a host and our trip could not have been better as a result. I would highly recommend this property and feel incredibly thankful we had this space for our stay in Salem.

Perfect staycation location

We needed a spot to host our daughter and a few friends for her 14th birthday party. This house could not have been more perfect. They enjoyed the backyard and gazebo soon followed by having a movie upstairs. We all enjoyed the quaintness of the Tower room... mentioning Rapunzel more than a few times. The host was easy to reach and offered great help when we couldn't get the internet connected (user error!) This home was everything we wanted and more. The only thing I would change was staying longer. The bathtub in the primary bathroom was a welcome reprieve once the party guests went home.

Charming Victorian style in South Salem

Matthew was a perfect host. Available if needed, asked several times if we needed anything, and respectful of our privacy. The home is very comfortable and kitchen is well appointed for just about any cooking you’d like to do. We had family meals in the dining room, sat on the cozy deck for wine time, and enjoyed conversations and quiet time in the living room. The upstairs is very unique and all about bedrooms…if we had 10 more in our party they’d all have a place to sleep! Would definitely stay again.

Salem Stay

Check in was easy. Communication with the owner was great. The house was neat, clean, convenient to all the places we traveled to and comfortable. The only suggestion I have for the owner is make a list of tv channels you get in the house. We had a heck of a time figuring it out. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting Salem, Oregon. Great house.

Why they chose this property

The home is located in what is arguably the best neighborhood in Salem. It's on a peaceful, quiet street that also happens to be four blocks from great restaurants, shopping, and public transportation. is also within walking distance of Bush Park, at the edge of downtown and the university.

My home is 20 minutes from Wine Country, 55 minutes from downtown Portland, 65 minutes from the Oregon Coast, and the Cascades lie to the east with dramatic Silver Falls State Park in the foothills and 35 minutes from here.

What makes this property unique

You will feel the comforts of home as you eat al fresco on the back porch or cozy up on the couch in front of the fireplace to read a book or watch a movie. This home is very popular with adults as well as children.
