I was looking for a charming and romantic place to spend the weekend with my wife. I am happy to say I found it at the Stepping Stone Inn. Not only was the room comfortable, clean, and cozy, but the Inn keeper, a Mr.John Brick, was very personable and helpful - an excellent host with a wealth of information on... More

My family and I wanted to experience Salem during the month of October and chose the Stepping Stone Inn for 2 reasons: first, we really wanted a B&B (versus a hotel chain), and second, we wanted to be in town, so we can walk to see all the sights. We were so happy with our decision! The inn was clean,... More

Suspecting that the October crowds in Salem would reach record highs this year, I began planning our annual New England vacation five or six months in advance. Even then, many B&B's were booked, or outright refused to make a reservation that did not extend 3 or 4 nights. Only John at the Stepping Stone Inn was willing to make accommodations... More

Our first impression on arrival was one of feeling at home.The moment you walk in you feel comfortable. John is a very thoughtful and gracious host, he even helped carry our luggage all the way to the 3rd floor room. You are right in the middle of everything and can walk anywhere you need to go,John was also very helpful... More

John was an amazingly personable host. You can literally walk out the door and your in the center of everything. The Salem Witch Museum is immediately to your left. A short walk to the parking garage where your car is housed. Super close, clean and friendly. We located a secret hole in the floor in the 3rd floor room with... More

My husband and I traveled to Salem last week and spent a few nights at The Stepping Stone Inn. The house is beautifully maintained and the room was cozy and comfortable. John (owner) was very pleasant. He made us feel as if we were family staying in his home. He went beyond the typical "Continental Breakfast" with juices, coffee, freshly... More

My boyfriend and I made our first trip to Salem last week. This was my first stay at a B & B. This one was homey and inviting. It was like staying at home. Our room was a nice size with lots of light. Even though our bathroom was not inside the room, it was not an issue to step... More

The owner provides a very friendly, welcoming stay. Feels like you have been invited to stay at a family member's home. We used to live in a historic home, so we felt very comfortable with the quirks and charm that come with a home built well over a century ago. The owner kindly asks guests to turn off the TV... More
