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.

Wonderful & so comfortable
Recently renovated and so well maintained. Just perfect for us, two older adults with two grown children. Each with our own room with queen or king beds & a/c in each room. The living space so comfortable and kitchen well equipped. The host has left the basics and more so no need to buy oils, spices, soap,, etc.

Cozy home
This is our second summer staying in this small, but comfortable house. It was great to have a fenced-in outdoor area with a dog door for our golden retriever. The neighborhood was residential and within walking distance to the downtown area. Even though the house is older, recent renovations such as new mattresses, a smart TV, and a remodeled kitchen, made it a very comfortable stay. The communication with Amy was excellent and we appreciated the notebook of information and how to use the TV ! We plan to stay here next whenever we visit our daughter in Independence.

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.

Positively Perfect
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.

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.
