Football game getaway
Our family had such a great time at this house! There was plenty of space for our party of nine and we were all so comfortable. We also really enjoyed the town of Independence, very charming.

Perfect getaway home!
The house is good sized, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the location near Main Street and appreciated the small town feel. We cooked in the well equipped kitchen a couple of evening and it felt like home. Mike the owner was very communicative and friendly. Highly recommend!

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.

Thanksgiving celebration
My family of nine adults and 3 kids, stayed in this lovely, spacious home where we prepared a Thanksgiving feast!
The kitchen was nicely outfitted with all that we needed(I brought the turkey pan)! The bedrooms were very large as wear the living areas. Very comfortable space to play games, read, do art projects…
We all enjoyed browsing the cute shops and hanging out at the nearby park with the kids. All within walking distance.
Yes, there is the train track one street over. Amazingly, the kids slept through the midnight run as did some adults. No one complained. In the morning, we all went out to watch the train run by! Don’t be dissuaded. It’s part of the charm of this town!
My family and I would definitely stay at this place again!

Great House
The house looks great for as old as it is. Needs better bed linens, all of us found them to not enough sleep comfortably. Heating was very hot at night and couldn’t get the thermostat to the right temp. Appliances were great. Shower and bathrooms where clean and plenty of pressure.

Wonderful Weekend
We had a group of 7 ladies for a planning retreat. The space was large and comfortable for meeting and meals. It's a beautiful craftsman renewed to a T! Very spacious rooms and living space. Some of our group heard the nearby train in the night, but others didn't. We loved our stay!

Family stay
House was spacious, which was nice for our family. Property manager was very prompt with response to questions at check in. The train went threw 5 out of the 7 nights at 2:45 am, a block away, and they aren't shy about the horn at intersections (which isnt the properties fault). Overall 5 out of 5. Thank you

Great place to stay
This was a great house for a party of 10 with plenty of room to sleep everyone. It was very clean and spacious, and everyone had a great time. We were in the area for an event in Salem and this location had easy access to the nearby city. Family members walked to the town festivities, farmers market, movie theater and restaurants.
Michael, the property owner, was quick to respond to messages and wonderful to work with. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place.
Thank you.

Small town feel
Just what we needed for our trip. Nice small town feel to relax from busy days of sightseeing and walking along the river trail for exercise in the morning and stopping by the bakery for fresh baked breakfast goods before starting our next adventure.House is a lovely remodel of an early 1900’s historic home with plenty of room.

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.
