Great Place to Stay

Better than a hotel stay for a weekend getaway for our family of 5. This home offered 3 bedrooms with 2.5 baths and a great layout for us to feel at home. This home was very clean, manager was very responsive, easy check-in and out process, and I highly recommend this place as it is an easy commute to both Salem and Manchester. I rate this 5 stars out of 5.
