About the host
Hosted by Christa
We would love for you stay in our cozy cottage and enjoy the farm scenery. Cottage may be rented for short or long visits. Check out Independence Facebook page or City of Independence calendar for up coming Fall, Spring and Summer events. This little town has a lot to offer. Cottage is 20 mins outside of Salem, 25 mins from Corvallis, 35 min. from McMinnville, 1.2 hr from Portland and 1.2 hr from the coast. Also local winery's and beer breweries.
Why they chose this property
We traveled through Independence and fell in love with the town. When this fixer upper property came up for sale. We moved out of the city to the country. We have enjoyed fixing up this little farm. The property includes the cottage, work shed, barn and the main house where we live. We started with the cottage. Took it down to its studs and built it right back up. It's the first house built on the property in 1942.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is located on 2 acre with views of the barn, and the property along with our furry friends. We have two dogs, two cats, chickens and three ducks.
