About this property

Sweet 3 Bedroom, Walk to Main St!

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.

You are right about the hiccup in checking in and I apologize! It’s such a rarity for us. I thought I had sent you your check in directions while I was driving across the USA but it didn’t send. Thank goodness Robert was able to respond quickly! Thanks for staying.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Taylor

Host profile image

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.
