About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

country getaway, surrounded by art and nature

This Victorian Lovely is nestled in the valleys intersecting the upstate woodlands and those famous Vermont maples. Its original details like stamped tin ceilings and hardwood floors give it charm, warmth and character. Two bedrooms -- one queen and one twin make it perfect for couples and small families or groups of friends!

Outside you'll enjoy a beautiful half-acre green with colorful flower beds and a classic babbling brook, which brings to mind the smells of summer and adventures in your own backyard.

If you're feeling adventurous, just "beyond", bordering the garden, lies Salem Art Works: a sculpture park, arts center and artist's community.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Absolutely lovely place
We stayed in this lovely Victorian house, ground floor apartment. It was so wonderfully comfortable. Klara and Greg provided everything you could possibly need. And they are just the nicest, sweetest people ever. The apartment is in the historic area of Salem. The history of the town was fascinating. The artwork around town was interesting to see. We also took a short walk/hike nearby through the snow. Keep in mind there are no restaurants or grocery stores nearby. We liked the Burger Den (diner food) that was about 12 minutes away. There’s a Hannaford grocery store about 20 minutes away so we cooked at the apartment. We just loved the peaceful nature of the area. Great place to stay and decompress.

Stunning home and property
What a spot for a weekend getaway! It's clear that this home has been very lovingly maintained and/or restored, and that a lot of thought is put into preparing it for each guest. The decor is mesmerizing, and it is super comfortable. The property backs up to Salem Art Works, so it's easily accessible for a run or a stroll through the sculpture gardens. Manchester, VT is a 30 minute drive and a great place to spend the day; hiking trails at Equinox Mountain are gorgeous and you could easily spend an entire day doing that alone. Great communication with hosts. I would come here again and again!

Klara and Greg have a lovely home in upstate New York with special touches that make their place one of kind. From the art on the walls and other aesthetic touches to the backyard garden and proximity to Salem Art Works... it was a wonderful place for us to stay, relax, and use as home base for our daily adventures.

Beautiful Apartment in Salem!
My wife and I just completed a fantastic week at the Yellow Door Inn. The photos represent the property really well—tons of character, well supplied and super clean. Klara and Greg are amazing hosts and were very responsive before and throughout our stay. Our main objective was to relax and read but we also took advantage of the many activities that are available nearby. We hiked at Carter’s Pond, Dionondahowa Falls in Washington County, and we also drove 25 minutes to Manchester, VT to hike the Red Gate trail, shop the outlets and visit Hildene the Robert Todd Lincoln (eldest son of Abraham and Mary) estate. We want to go back for foliage season and go trout fishing in the Battenkill River, which runs throughout the area. Yellow Door is a great find.
