About this property

Entire place

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

Sweet 3 Bedroom, Walk to Main St!

This spotless house is just three blocks from Independence Main St, the river, and the park. I'm a premiere host with many years of experience, check my other listing in Portland. https://www.vrbo.com/479000

We know how to make our guests feel at home, and we love the friendly, historic, walkable neighborhood you'll stay in. You'll love it here.

The lot is big, and there's a nice fire pit, and wood in the back for those starry summer nights outside.

Come stay here, for wine country tourism, weddings, biking, university visits, or just enjoy one of Oregon's most beautiful regions.

If you can verify that your pet is non-shedding and does not sleep with you, we may lower the pet fee.

Lovely place (neighbor dogs are disruptive/intimidating)
Had an easy time checking in, and it’s a walkable little area close to the main old heart of town. Nice neighbors all around, too! Worked perfectly for our plans (having 91 year old grandma for a nice quiet afternoon away from her retirement home to play games and have dinner with us like old times!). There are some always-out, constantly barking and very excitable dogs right next door. We love dogs and feel bad for them- they’re clearly bored and basically neglected, in terms of social contact. I’m sure they love their people. But with just a chain link fence btw yards, you’re not getting any peace in the back yard, including at night. They barked until 11 the first night we were there! Rental owners are great and communicative and did their best to talk to the neighbors, and the second night was definitely better. Don’t want the dogs suffering in any way, either. But light sleepers, dog-fearful folks, and those with dogs and kids should know what to expect. These are big dogs- German Shepherd types- and one looks like it could jump the fence if excited enough. It was NOT friendly when I approached the shared fence with treats, and it may have wanted to play with our little dog… but I think it had other ideas. Sorry- it’s a lovely place in general! Many folks will enjoy it no problem, I’m sure.

Our weekend in the sweet 3 bedroom home in Independence turned out to be everything we hoped for. It was easy to find with great parking. Close to stores and restaurants. The Welcome Book listed the restaurants our host had personally tried and recommended. We were delighted by her suggestions. The house was spotless and the kitchen had everything we wanted. Comfortable furniture and beds. Plenty of blankets. Individual heat settings in each room to suit everyone's needs. Our host Amy was quick to answer our questions. I would say that this is the very best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Looking forward to staying there any time we are in the area. Thanks Amy!!

Dogs barking/howling
The property was very nice and well equipped. The major problem was the next door neighbor's two dogs were barking and howling at all hours. This has been communicated to the owners. Amy and Robert were great tom deal with.

Ideal Location for Charming Independence
The house is wonderful and well-equipped. It is just a couple of blocks from the charming shops, excellent restaurants, museum, and river park & walk of Independence. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The property owners were helpful and responsive. The yard is a lovely space for enjoying a chat or playing. Plus, there is a ping pong table in the garage which I loved!

Great Getaway
We visited Independence for the OR Wine run - the house was perfect - it was clean, a nice backyard, and great location to downtown. We were able to walk to the park for the start of the run and not have the hassle of driving. We were also able to take advantage and enjoy some recommended food in the area that did not disappoint. Very relaxing space.

Perfect location to visit Oregon
Loved the small town feel, but also ability to get to a ton of other places within an hour. A combined family trip to see some colleges as well as do a race in Salem and we were able to do everything from one home base here. Also tacked on a day visit to wine country. Able to get into Salem within 15 minutes and visited both Eugene and Corvallis with easy day trips due to the highway being so easy to access. House itself was exactly what we needed. Great side and backyard for our dog to travel with us. Nice kitchen that had a few treats there for us when we arrived (chips and cookies for kids and a bottle of wine for my wife and I). We were in and out non-stop, but streaming services were great for some background noise as we got ready each morning. Had some struggles with the AC/Cooling system, but that was more user error than anything else and once we figured a few things out it was very comfortable despite a pretty significant heat wave in the summer. Much cheaper than a hotel for a family of four with a dog and 100x nicer. Five stars all the way and would book here anytime I was in the Oregon area. Thanks for a great stay.

What a great place!
We fell in love with Independence! What a great town! And the house couldn’t have been better! We walked downtown several times throughout our 10 day stay and enjoyed the restaurants, bakery, coffeehouse, trail, etc. what a great location! The house is so cute and very clean!!! The hosts are incredibly responsive and we’re very helpful with anything we needed. The beds are very comfortable and it was so nice to have a room for both kids. The neighborhood is quiet. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Nice Getaway right in the heart of Wine Country
We came for my son's graduation and this house worked out great even though we only had four of us for three days. Very neatly kept with everything you need. We didn't cook in the residence but ventured to all the restaurants around the area but the kitchen was well equiped. If it were to be one of my rental houses I would toss the Amazon Fire Tv and hook up to something with more variety like You Tube Tv or Sling as we didn't have any kids with us and didn't want to bother. We didn't come for the TV but my 85 yr old mom likes to watch the news once in awhile so that would of been cool. A nice add on would be a Roku since I'm such a gadget dude and have like 17 Sonos speakers around my house. Overall a great little house, well done!!
