The house is small but adorable and very comfortable. But the yard is a slice of heaven. My dog enjoyed the smells, squirrels and the exploring. I enjoyed the security of a lovely peaceful area for her to have a good time and be safe.
What a lovely relaxing little place to spend a week. We were in town so one of our kids & a friend could attend a basketball camp. This cottage had everything we needed (minus wash cloths but we got a couple at wal mart). Our youngest child claimed the loft area as her own & enjoyed sleeping up there. The other beds were very comfy. The shower was the best. The neighborhood is a mix of old & new homes and enormous beautiful oak trees. Salem has a large unhoused population and some little camps were apparent on our strolls around the neighborhood, mostly in areas around churches. But the people were friendly. The neighborhood itself felt safe. One of our kids left a door open to our car parked on the curb overnight and nothing was touched or missing from our car when we discovered it the next morning. The property owner returned any messages we sent promptly. We will definitely stay here again if we ever need to return to Salem.
I am in love with this cozy cottage! Every evening was spent outside enjoying the wonderful garden area and the bed felt like sleeping on a cloud. It was exactly as portrayed in the photos with easy check-in and check-out.
The cottage is nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. We also loved the fenced front yard which is nicely landscaped. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Salem. Thank you so much for having us.
The space was so user friendly, comfortable, and clean! The outdoor garden space is inviting, quaint and lovely for outdoor dining or lounging. It's like a little oasis!The beds were comfortable. I appreciated room darkening shades and high efficiency air conditioning. The kitchen is adequately stocked for preparing simple meals. The host provided coffee, powder creamer, and coffee which was a nice touch. Let me also comment emphatically - the water pressure in the shower was incredible!We used the space to navigate Salem and the gorgeous surrounding wine country. It was well-located in a quiet residential neighborhood.
We had a 3 night stay at the cottage and really enjoyed itIt was spotlessly clean, the shower was strong and hot, the refurb had been tastefully done and if the weather had been better we would have had a glass of wine in the pretty area outside, in the evening!
While the inside of the cottage was incredibly clean and comfortable and even perfect for co-operative gaming on the couch, the beautiful garden out front was the perfect location to have dinner and decompress from a long day of adventuring. The cottage is not far from downtown Salem, with a very easy walk through a safe neighborhood to everything of interest. The kitchen inside was perfect for making breakfast and lunch, and the beds were comfy. The charm of the Lily Cottage- inside and out- was a highlight of my trip.
We did a lot of driving around the beautiful state of Oregon. We couldnât wait to return to what we called the Oasis each evening. Everything about it was perfect! Especially the gorgeous yard.
