Clean and cozy
Very comfortable and updated. Perfect for our family of four. Sorry we couldn’t stay longer and enjoy the use of the well-equipped kitchen. Very quiet, we especially loved the country setting even though you are in town. Directions to the cottage and it’s use were well thought out and communicated to us. Wonderful place to stay.

Perfect Location For Activities In Salem
What a great community to be in. Great location. Enjoyed our stay and the simplicity of check in and departure. We did not think that we were doing enough when leaving the rental... we did what was asked of us and just a bit more. We wanted to do as much as we could on our part to match the hosts who did their part in providing us a pleasant place to stay.

Why they chose this property

We traveled through Independence and fell in love with the town. When this fixer upper property came up for sale. We moved out of the city to the country. We have enjoyed fixing up this little farm. The property includes the cottage, work shed, barn and the main house where we live. We started with the cottage. Took it down to its studs and built it right back up. It's the first house built on the property in 1942.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is located on 2 acre with views of the barn, and the property along with our furry friends. We have two dogs, two cats, chickens and three ducks.
