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.

Charming home

Independence is a little off the beaten path, but it is a place everyone should visit. What a lovely town! The house is charming and very roomy. The adults stayed downstairs and the teenagers had the upstairs to themselves. I was impressed with all of the cooking appliances and utensils. The owner was very quick to respond to my messages and questions. Everything was a breeze.

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.

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.
