Independence House Bed & Breakfast

Independence House is a classic 1895 Italianate on a quiet corner of the historic river town of Independence, Ore. Walk to our reviving Main Street, where you’ll find fine antiques, great food, or a peaceful stroll by the river.

We are two miles from Western Oregon University, and a short drive to some of the best wineries in Oregon. Enjoy some peaceful “porch time,” or order a gourmet box lunch for a day trip spent exploring the area. Nestled in the wine center of Oregon’s picturesque Willamette Valley, Independence House is less than a half hour from Salem, Corvallis and McMinnville. The ocean beaches, Mount Hood and Silver Falls State Park are about an hour's drive away. And if a lazy "Sunday" drive is more to your liking, the Willamette Valley offers wonderful views in all seasons.

Nature-lovers, bicyclists, romantic couples, writers and artists, and people seeking quiet all find what they want here.

The innkeeper was so kind. I was not feeling well and she wanted to make me chicken soup. Really went out of her way to make us feel at home. Great location - near the wine country and Oregon State. Would definitely stay here again.

Review Independence House Bed & Breakfast, Independence, OR

Photo Album

Guests say they instantly feel at home in the inviting downstairs common area. You're invited find out for yourself.Fresh fruit in season, muffins or breads baked that morning, followed by a hearty main dish. Homemade breads plus endless coffee complete the meal.
Guestroom #2, Evening Rose. Pillowtop queen bed, armoire, comfortable chair, and a quiet retreat from the world's cares.This lounge includes games, books, DVDs and videos, music and comfort for guests' enjoyment.
Lavish comforts await. Fluffy robes, baskets for toiletries, blow dryers, help-yourself bath products.Breakfast on the porch is an option late spring through fall...or anytime, if you pack enough sweaters.
"Porch time" at Independence House inspires artists and authors, day-dreamers, wine tasters, and those just interested in quiet contemplation.
