Another Lovely Stay!

We enjoyed another great stay at the Yellow Door Inn. The home and gardens are lovely and Klara and Greg provide a welcoming presence. We visited many of our favorite places in both NY and Vermont and enjoyed some of the restaurant suggestions made by our hosts. We will be back!

Lovely and comfortable home in Salem NY

My son and I had the privileged of staying in this beautiful home. There were many lovely details, interesting art, beautifully appointed kitchen, nice amenities in the bathroom etc. A very comfortable cozy place. While there I believe the biggest snow storm of the season happened, owners were wonderful about shoveling us out.

Best choice for Salem

The apartment is roomy, clean and comfortable, Vrbo hosts are very accommodating. We considered many options and knew that we made the right decision as soon as we walked in. We invited local family over; it rained but the kitchen, living room and dining room were perfect for the evening. Will recommend to family and friends in the future.

very clean place to stay, well organized first floor apartment, the owners live on the second floor, we didn't feel them (in a good way). In the kitchen you have everything you need to cook, so better bring your own groceries.

Delightful

This is our second and longest stay at Yellow Door. Klara and Greg are excellent hosts. The accommodations are clean and comfortable, and there is plenty to do! There is even a bean bag chair which my Grandsons loved. There are some nice added touches such as local fresh eggs, and coffee so you won't have to worry about breakfast your first morning there. Two thumbs up!

Everything was wonderful. It was pet friendly. We had many of everyday essentials in the property. Wi-Fi allowed me to stream with casting my movies and news. We had a fun time driving around. It is very scenic. We went to a bakery, the art exhibit, and two farmers/homemade goods places. Delicious Strawberry preserves at the farmer's market Saturday. It packed a punch. Very comfortable queen size bed. Newer model washer/dryer are in the apt. Hosts were very helpful and gracious.

Quaint Little Oasis

Staying in this charming house was a truly delightful experience for my husband and I! The house is a duplex with our quarters being completely private on the lower level. The hosts live in the other unit above. We never ever heard them. Ever! Nestled in a picturesque, quaint town, it felt like we’d stepped into a storybook. The town itself is small, with only two restaurants and a sweet community theater that hosts local plays—a perfect touch that adds to its welcoming vibe. We walked to dinner at the local restaurant each night, and also walked to the theater. It was spectacular. The house’s grounds were stunning, with lovely gardens and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax and unwind. Were we free to enjoy the yard. Our hosts were fantastic, always responsive and genuinely caring, making sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a quiet, charming escape with a touch of small-town magic, this is the place to be!

Home away from home

Wow! The hosts have thought of everything, from the moment you walk in you easily find all you need. Cabinets are labeled for easy access, extra hooks are provided in the bathroom, tissues by all the beds and extra blankets in the living room. We easily make ourselves at home. They did a beautiful job restoring the property. Cell signal is quite sketchy traveling to the house. It is best to be prepared for this and know you may need to restart your phone once your arrive. this was all we needed to regain a signal and access the check in code . I would also suggest new mattresses. We did have some trouble sleeping on the queen bed due to the mattress. The town is very quiet and peaceful. We drove about 35 minutes to nearby towns in Vermont while we were there.

A quaint Victorian apartment get away weekend.

The apartment was absolutely PERFECT. Our reservations were for 3 days, but a calender snafu caused us to cut it to 2, Klara & Greg contacted us promptly and were able to change it without too much hassle. They even ensured that we would be able to check in an hour earlier because of the mix-up. Coming back to the apartment after dinner our first night, it was delightful to drive down the street to find the tree in the front of the house was lit from head to toe, beckoning us to this lovely place. The amenities throughout the apartment were appreciated: charging stations at each bedside table, an umbrella at the front door, shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower, coffee, fully stocked kitchen. Much appreciated the fresh eggs in the fridge too, we just weren’t up to cooking. The artwork and plants around the apartment were beautiful as well. Made a loving touch throughout. When searching for a place for a weekend, that wasn’t too far from our home, the Yellow Door came up. It was so cute. I will admit, I did no research on the town. We just needed to get away after 2 months of stress from other obligations. Restaurants were only 20-30 minutes away. It was a very relaxing place, we came home recharged. We’ll be back. ~Jo-Anne & Ray

My two-week stay here was nothing short of magical. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how warm, inviting, and beautifully decorated the space is—it truly felt like a home rather than a rental. Greg and Klara have truly thought of everything to make a long-term stay effortless. I was so impressed by the abundance of high-quality linens, plenty of fresh towels, extra cozy blankets for lounging, and a kitchen stocked with everything I needed.One of my favorite touches was the helpful and stylish information board in the dining room; it made navigating the home and the local area so simple.The location is a dream for nature and art lovers. It was such a luxury to step out the back door and meander through the SAW and Cary Hill Sculpture Park properties, or take a quick stroll into the quaint center of Salem. Greg and Klara were the perfect hosts—they gave me total privacy but were incredibly prompt whenever I had a question. Check-in and check-out were seamless. I can’t recommend this place enough and I can't wait to go back in the warmer months.
