This place was great! so close to Mcafee Knob and Dragon Tooth parking. Well stocked kitchen and even provided everything you need for smores.One item to note - coffee maker was a Keuring so bring extra pods or a refillable one. A few were provided but we used most of those the first day.Overall highly recommend!

A really lovely small property with easy access to hiking locations and downtown Salem. We used it to attend my child's graduation at Virginia Tech, which was about a 40 minute drive. The place is spotless and has decent amenities. There is no dishwasher, so bring paper plates if you don't like doing dishes, but everything you need is there. Note there is only one bathroom, so plan accordingly. A very pleasant place to stay!
