The town of Independence is very nice. We were there for a triathlon in Salem. The location was great. The house was very nice, and had a ton of room. We really enjoyed our stay. If there is any downside to the house, it is very close to a train track, and there is a train that passes through each night. It didn’t affect us much. We went right back to sleep. I would gladly stay here again.

This was the perfect place for our family gathering for our father's memorial. We grew up in the neighborhood, so knew it well. The front porch was a great place to sit and catch up with family and watch the kids play in the front yard.

We had a great trip, the house was perfect. We had 1 little issue and they addressed it right away. We were there for a wedding, it was right downtown and close to everything. Just beware of the train in the middle of the night, they blow the horn like 7 times and it feels like the train is in the room with you.

Beautiful property, Definitely want to stay there again next time i'm in the area.

This house was beautiful and perfect for two families to stay together on a joint vacation. It was within walking distance of multiple restaurants and a short drive to the wedding venue we were attending.

The property was great. The remodel it went through was really nicely done and still maintained the historic feel. The informational binder provided pictures of the before and after, and it also provided some history of the property which was a nice touch.

Comfortable stay

Great accommodations. Home was comfortable and beautifully decorated. Only thing we didn’t like was the rain that blows it’s horn every night at 12:30 and every morning about at 8:30. We had room for the whole family.

Wedding in Independence

We attended a wedding in Independence and needed a spot for several out of state family members to stay. This house fit the bill perfectly for us. Lots of space, well appointed and very charming.

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 7, 2025
Thanks for staying, Sarah. With a house this sized we thought would be attract a few couples to come and stay for a long weekend and go wine tasting but we're quickly realizing that it's becoming a centrally located spot to have family and friends to come together when a wedding celebration is not far away. Hope you had a chance to visit our small yet charming downtown.

Family Summer Kick Off

We needed a big house to take care of family that came to town from our daughter’s graduation. The neighborhood that this house is in and the quality of this home exceeded our expectations.
