A cozy getaway spot in the heart of the Willamette Valley! Host very responsive and easy to work with - breakfast staples provided. Comfortable bed and great pillows. Loved the hot tub and pretty views from the amazing deck! Even in rainy spring weather, this vrbo met our every need.

This place was the prefect spot for a quiet weekend getaway. So close to vineyards and the festival in Independence. The cottage fits so many comveniences in a compact space and still feels comfortable to lounge. The outdoor deck with the hot tub is next to both the guest house and the host's home, but they made a point to ensure our privacy. The grounds are beautiful and expansive with many other outdoor places to enjoy. The river is about a hundred yards away. A little far to carry paddleboards and stuff, but the host offered a wagon to make it easier. I enjoyed walking dowm the trail / road along the river and just enjoying the quiet of nature. The bed was very comfortable, which is one if my biggest criteria. Its situated to allow for a nice morning view of the greenery outside or watch a movie in the evening.The host was very reaponsive to my questions. They struck a nice balance of helpfulness and respecting our space /privacy. I cant wait to come back and see more of this area.
