Old Willow Bay : Victorien Côtier 2CH à Salem

Experience coastal New England charm with a touch of historic Salem magic. Located on the 2nd floor of a vintage Salem home, Old Willow Bay blends traditional architecture and floral accents into a warm retreat. Designed for travelers seeking authentic Salem vibes, from spooky October events and witch history to crisp autumn strolls along the harbor, the apartment features a king primary bedroom, cozy queen bedroom, full kitchen, full bath, and sleeper sectional.

The Space.

This private second-floor apartment includes two bedrooms, one full bathroom, a full kitchen, dining area, and comfortable living room.

The primary bedroom features a king bed, blue floral wallpaper, and timeless New England style. The second bedroom includes a queen bed with warm vintage-inspired color and a cozy feel.

The living room features a large pop-up sleeper sectional that creates an additional flat sleeping surface for one guest. It is not a traditional pull-out mattress, so the feel is different from a standard bed, but it works well as an additional sleeping option.

Original hardwood floors, built-ins, trim, and architectural details preserve the character of this classic New England home, while updated furnishings and finishes provide modern comfort.

Sleeping Arrangements
Bedroom 1: 1 king bed
Bedroom 2: 1 queen bed
Living room: 1 pop-up sleeper sectional for an additional guest

Please note that the sleeper sectional does not contain a traditional fold-out mattress. The seating platform extends to create a flat sleeping surface, so it may feel different from a standard bed.
