Daniels House Inn

Where do I start?? This Daniels House experience has FAR exceeded our expectation. You must book here! My wife and I had a late July getaway in Salem for 4 days, with three nights in the Daniels Great Room. The Daniels House was absolutely PERFECT location. LISTEN!!!! My wife and I did it all - Witch Museum, House of Seven Gables, the extensive Essex Street Pedestrian walking mall, Pickering Wharf, multiple history museums, all the historic buildings, Pirate museums, Salem Museum of Torture, Charter Street Cemetary, great food, and on and on - EVERYTHING is no more than a 10 minute walk from The Daniels House!!!!! Our vehicle barely moved! This couldn’t be more perfect!!! I think the other rooms in Daniels House get a parking pass for right out front…. But if you book The Great Room like we did, you get a private driveway parking spot … what a nice perk! The room?? The Great Room??? AMAZING! Trust us - The historical feel and vibe from the room cannot be explained. The house dates to the 1600’s and Patrick and Adele have done a phenomenal job of preserving that ‘period feel’. The whole house deserves a careful walkthrough itself - it is full of artifacts and pictures and crafts and wares and charming period nostalgia all throughout. The Daniels house is super clean, tidy, and very authentically original …. We appreciated every subtle creak spoken by a floorboard or stair step. Listen - that’s not a feigned flaw…. I’m describing the treasure feel of the house! Call it odd… but my wife and I loved walking in the Great Room barefoot. Everything was clean and well preserved original. Even stepping up into the overly large private bathroom…. If you close your eyes and slowly inhale, you can just imagine the tales these floors and walls could tell! Another subtle nuance - the stairs in the house. You can see and appreciate the lovely subtle texture of 100+ years of use where countless folks have gone up or down them. Snap back modern - Good A/C in the Great Room.

Breakfast as stated : Bagels/english muffins..tea/coffee and breakfast bars and cereal....simple set up...Something to consider..The night before, I found the door to eating room closed..Love tea before bed. Texted owner and he was kind to unlock and start the kettle for me. The owner goes out of his way to tend to our needs....Very thankful.

The authentic building, furnishings, and location. . The breakfast and drinks were healthy and a good variety.

The location to all parts of town is perfect. The atmosphere is authentic, and you feel like you are transported back to 1600 Salem (rich people Salem). It's our second time there and we can't wait to come back.

The house itself is so authentic with gorgeous decor in the bedrooms. The hosts were friendly and stayed in touch with me as needed but were happy to stay in the background and enable me to enjoy my trip.
