I was on a trip to the Derby area, and had no idea where to stay. Some of the local motels were less than appealing. Lake Salem Inn was immediately inviting with its well manicured grounds and meticulously maintained buildings. I was met at the door by Joe, and was immediately made to feel at home. That speaks volumes, considering... More

My husband and I recently stayed for a week at the Lake Salem Inn. It's a great way to experience the Northeast Kingdom. Mo and Jo have great advice and contacts. We stayed in the Wyoming Room. Very comfortable and clean. The breakfasts were gourmet and there were often very interesting other guests to share the meal with. I would... More

Cleanliness is more important to us than than just about anything else and Lake Salem Inn is spotless. Add to this an artfully designed B&B in a lovely setting right on the lake. We stayed in the Library Room and along with a very comfortable queen-size bed there was a delightful sitting area surrounded with lots of books. We had... More

with a gourmet breakfast and clean and comfy room. We stayed for 5 nights and also had the opportunity of having dinner at the inn. Joe and Mo run a first-class operation and create a pleasant atmosphere to linger and chat with the innkeepers or other guests. A great location to explore the Northeast Kingdom from. Can't wait to go... More

The Lake Salem Inn could hardly have offered us a more pleasant day of respite on our return drive from Quebec City to Boston. The grounds are beautiful, with the back of the property overlooking the lake. We stayed in the Zen Room (in the 'main house', where I believe we were the only guests this day), which was huge,...

My wife and I stayed for a quick overnight trip - the hotels in the immediate area are not of a very high standard so I definitely recommend staying here. My lone complaint is the Mo was not as hospitable as she could've been. Acutally she served us breakfast and never introduced herself - we would have but sensed she... More

I had my first B&B experience last week -- a 2-night stay at the Lake Salem Inn while on business in Newport VT. I had no idea what to expect and now I know I can expect a lot. Lake Salem Inn sets a high standard for pastoral beauty, country comfort, excellent dining and friendly hospitality. The owners, Mo and... More

The accommodations in the auxiliary bldg. are not as upscale as some B&B's we've stayed at. That being said, the main house was very nice and the host/hostess were extremely nice. Our breakfasts, and dinner (part of package), were delicious. It was a very quiet, relaxing stay.

My wife and I recently stayed 3 nights in the Zen room and what a beautiful stay we had. I have read other reviews, mostly excellent but one in particular stated their dislike with the Zen room and we couldn't disagree more. The Zen room was like a mini paradise get away. The room was furnished beautifully down to the... More
