Independence House Bed & Breakfast will close at the end of February, 2013. It's been a great 7-year run, but it's time to move on to the next chapter of life. I will miss all my guests, especially repeat guests (now friends) and the many, sturdy bicyclists who have wheeled through here. Thanks for the adventure! Cheryl

5 out of 5Taking Our Son to College
September 29, 2011
Recently we traveled from Hawaii to take our son to college at Western Oregon University in Monmouth, OR. We couldn't have asked for a more comfortable, enjoyable, convenient and quaint B & B! Cheryl was so welcoming after our long journey--the perfect hostess! Loved the hospitality--wine, cheese & fruit upon arrival, the delicious home-cooked breakfasts and the many other wonderful touches that were so appreciated by our family. Cheryl also has a wealth of knowledge about this area in Oregon which was very helpful. We highly recommend the Independence House B & B to anyone who wants a memorable and restful stay!

September 26, 2011
My daughter and came to check out Western OR University and needed a place close by to stay. Independence House is only 2 miles from the college. Cheryl is a wonderful hosted, continually checking in to see how she can best meet your needs (even before you arrive). She greeted us with Wine & lemonade, cheese & fruit, along with some local restaurant menus and directions to local spots. Her breakfasts are better than any 5 star restaurant and she gave us a baggie to take our uneaten muffins with us to snack on later. Her homemade bread brought back wonderful memories of my grandmothers bread. We had brought our laptop with us and Cheryl made sure we were able to get squared away with her password and also had a mini fridge for guests to help themselves to drinks and to put dinner leftovers in. All in all, a wonderful time at Independence House. The only negative, is the funny little latch on the bathroom door that was a challenge at times. THANK YOU CHERYL!

My girlfriend and I stayed here after a day of bicycling from Portland and it was perfect. Great breakfast and Cheryl was super helpful with all of our bike equipment. She even gave us some first aid stuff with our wine and cheese when we got in since my girlfriend had scraped up her knee earlier that day. Highly recommended! Thank you Cheryl!

January 28, 2011
Fantastic relaxation spot. Great accommodations! Friendly atmosphere! Wonderful inn-keeper! My dear friend and I experienced the perfect get-a-way location to relax and rejuvenate ourselves. Innkeeper, Cheryl, provided the most delicious gourmet breakfast served on a beautifully set table with china and crystal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Cheryl not only provided limitless information on all the great places to eat and fun things to do in and around Independence, but also directed us to wineries that produce wines that even satisfied my palate (which isn’t easy). I look forward to a return visit.

Need a place to just chill and reconnect with a friend? This is it. Just returned from 4 days with a long time friend (40 years). She lives in Oregon and I live in Nevada. It was a "spur of the moment" trip but Cheryl, the owner, was able to handle all our needs. We both needed to just have some time to ourselves, to relax, talk, laugh and cry. Cheryl gave us that place. She is warm and friendly and has created the environment we needed. She provided delicious breakfasts, a wonderful box lunch and directions and suggestions for places to go. We also had lots of laughter thanks to Cheryl. Even convinced her to sit down and play Triminoes with us. We will be going back when the weather is warmer (did not see the sun) and do some outdoor activities. May even take our husbands next time.

This B&B reminded us of the farm in up state New York where my mother grew up and we spent many happy times. I has a very warm feel of a lived in house.We also liked the location because it is so close to many other things to see and do and the town was easy to walk around and spend time.

Cheryl really pays attention to the details that make a stay special. A rose at the doorway of your room, chocolates and bing cherries greet you, delicious breakfasts beautifully garnished and served; wine on the porch in the afternoon. Wonderful stay!
