About this house rental
As you step through the threshold of this sensitively restored 1680 residence, you are transported to an earlier time—immersed in the history of the home and the area. One of the oldest homes in the Essex corridor, the interior of the William Haskell House has remained virtually untouched since it was built and is documented as one of the finest examples of a First Period Colonial house that exists today.
If you are a lover of period antiques, historic old homes, American history, and seek a truly unique experience—then a stay at the William Haskell House is for you! You will sojourn amid historically significant antiques, in a home that has been meticulously conserved to reflect the aura of the original 17th century structure.

AMAZING place! We originally went with this location because our adult kids thought it looked spooky and would fit perfectly with a weekend trip to Salem. We really didn’t appreciate before getting there what a cool historical place this way! When it comes to communication, Natalie is a great host who was helpful and friendly at all times. When we’re back in the area, this is the location where my wife is going to make sure we stay again. Just an overall awesome place!

I would give this property all of the stars in the Milky Way if I could. It’s an amazing historic home with breathtaking architecture and antiques, yet all the modern comforts. Natalie is a responsive and gracious host. I would absolutely come back again.

The absolutely coolest place I’ve ever stayed. It’s like staying a night in a house museum, but with the comfiest and cleanest modern bed linens. Can’t wait to come back!

The entire 4 days was like exploring a museum with private access. Words can't describe the experience.. It is filled with antiques and things that go bump in the night. We discovered a new door camouflaged in the walls every day.
