About this property

This spotless house is just three blocks from Independence Main St, the river, and the park. I'm a premiere host with many years of experience, check my other listing in Portland. https://www.vrbo.com/479000

We know how to make our guests feel at home, and we love the friendly, historic, walkable neighborhood you'll stay in. You'll love it here.

The lot is big, and there's a nice fire pit, and wood in the back for those starry summer nights outside.

Come stay here, for wine country tourism, weddings, biking, university visits, or just enjoy one of Oregon's most beautiful regions.

If you can verify that your pet is non-shedding and does not sleep with you, we may lower the pet fee.

Lovely place (neighbor dogs are disruptive/intimidating)

Had an easy time checking in, and it’s a walkable little area close to the main old heart of town. Nice neighbors all around, too! Worked perfectly for our plans (having 91 year old grandma for a nice quiet afternoon away from her retirement home to play games and have dinner with us like old times!). There are some always-out, constantly barking and very excitable dogs right next door. We love dogs and feel bad for them- they’re clearly bored and basically neglected, in terms of social contact. I’m sure they love their people. But with just a chain link fence btw yards, you’re not getting any peace in the back yard, including at night. They barked until 11 the first night we were there! Rental owners are great and communicative and did their best to talk to the neighbors, and the second night was definitely better. Don’t want the dogs suffering in any way, either. But light sleepers, dog-fearful folks, and those with dogs and kids should know what to expect. These are big dogs- German Shepherd types- and one looks like it could jump the fence if excited enough. It was NOT friendly when I approached the shared fence with treats, and it may have wanted to play with our little dog… but I think it had other ideas. Sorry- it’s a lovely place in general! Many folks will enjoy it no problem, I’m sure.

Positively Perfect

Our weekend in the sweet 3 bedroom home in Independence turned out to be everything we hoped for. It was easy to find with great parking. Close to stores and restaurants. The Welcome Book listed the restaurants our host had personally tried and recommended. We were delighted by her suggestions. The house was spotless and the kitchen had everything we wanted. Comfortable furniture and beds. Plenty of blankets. Individual heat settings in each room to suit everyone's needs. Our host Amy was quick to answer our questions. I would say that this is the very best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Looking forward to staying there any time we are in the area. Thanks Amy!!

Dogs barking/howling

The property was very nice and well equipped. The major problem was the next door neighbor's two dogs were barking and howling at all hours. This has been communicated to the owners. Amy and Robert were great tom deal with.

Christmas stay

Great house and location for Christmas with our son and grandchildren. Everything was great. Really loved the ping pong table in the garage. Would definitely love to stay there at another visit.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Taylor

I've been hosting guests for over twenty years. I have another property in Portland, and had one for twenty years at the Oregon Coast. I know what matters when you rent a house! Your comfort and enjoyment are my priority.

Why they chose this property

This is a neighborhood of turn-of-the-century homes and churches. It's a three block walk to Main Street with its wine bars, pubs, restaurants and shops, right across from the riverfront park.
Our street is quiet, with very little traffic, BUT very infrequently a freight train passes by on the bridge behind the house. It's Willamette Valley Railroad and they only have two locomotives. I can't find what the schedule is but I've stayed there a lot and it's not frequent. Once in a while there's one in the early morning hours.
