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.

Just as advertised!

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.
