This was the perfect place for our family gathering for our father's memorial. We grew up in the neighborhood, so knew it well. The front porch was a great place to sit and catch up with family and watch the kids play in the front yard.

We had a great trip, the house was perfect. We had 1 little issue and they addressed it right away. We were there for a wedding, it was right downtown and close to everything. Just beware of the train in the middle of the night, they blow the horn like 7 times and it feels like the train is in the room with you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
