Paradise on Private 15 Acre Wildlife Sanctuary

Second time staying here and it was just as enjoyable. The house is so well stocked with everything you could need. And the birds were amazing including the wild turkeys that visited everyday. I’ll be back again.

Fantastic property. Great location among the orchard fields. Terrific little craftsman style property. All the kitchen appliances and utensils you need. Communication with owner was fantastic.

The kitchen was equipped with everything you could think of. Possibly could use a coffee pot but we were fine with Keurig. The bedding/blankets were over the top. All very soft and clean. Easy departure requirements. Perfect setting too.

Amenities were above all expectations!! Lovely surroundings and accommodations! It was a work trip and I shared this with the entire corporation! No more hotels! My only suggestion is for a larger or additional rug in the bath. Wildlife was audible and visible! Wild turkeys, beavers, frogs and elk bugles in the night

My son and I had a wonderful stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house was perfect and the property helped us both have a relaxing time!

Beautiful property and great home! We had a great time during our stay!

The stay was wonderful as always. The kitchen was stocked with gadgets I never knew I needed. The wildlife was in abundance with geese, turkeys, ducks and a last minute appearance by a deer. Sixth time staying here.

Adorable country home. The Host has thought of everything & we will definitely be back!!The views are stunning & the binoculars, along with the birding books gift visitors hours of entertainment. Oh! And all the games to.play!!Thank you for allowing visitors to enjoy & share your property

This lovely home had everything from coffee to Q-Tips! There was nothing that we needed that they didn’t have! I loved the layout of the home and the peaceful surroundings! We knew it was somewhat remote so we took food with us to cook. While we didn’t see many birds due to the rain, we did see some wild turkeys in the blackberry field, We visited some nearby wineries set among gorgeous rolling hills. We hope to return again!

This was a fantastic get away. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we could need. I love the location and we identified so many different birds in the area. And the wild turkeys visited everyday. The host did a great job with every little detail. It was quiet and peaceful and a true retreat.

Exceeded expectations. Appreciated the many extra touches.

Awesome property and very nice location. Relaxing and quiet. Kitchen was very well stocked with cooking items. Great coffee selections.

Paradise in the country. Lacked for nothing and close to good food and wineries. Great place to take a walk and get close to nature. The cottage shows close attention to every detail. I wish our stay was longer.

This was an amazing place. The attention to detail was amazing. The kitchen was so well appointed with condiments in the frig and staples in the pantry. There was a wonderful selection of keurig pods avaiable with syrups to add to your cup. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom had lush towels and plenty of them! The claw foot bathtub was wonderful. The lighting throughout the house was well appointed. The grounds were amazing - lots of places to explore. Will be back again.

We loved this house! Everything we needed was there, it was very clean, nice and quiet area and the animals and views were awesome!

We absolutely loved our stay! The host was so welcoming and friendly. It was our first time renting an electric car so we didn’t know about different plugs. When her plug didn’t work, she went the extra mile and found a friend willing to let us use their charger. All of the little touches, like fresh eggs from her chickens & bubble bath, made the stay even more special. Plus the views from the deck were incredible! She also had a binder full of information about the region! We would stay here when we visit again.

Very nice, comfortable house. Extremely well stocked. Fun to hangout on deck and watch birds. Great location for exploring wine country.

Where do I start!!!! Planning our first trip to Oregon and this property immediately stood out. Needless to say on arrival day my family and I were overwhelmed with the beautiful property! Talk about GORGEOUS and so Peaceful! On the inside of this beautiful gem, not only was it inviting, spotless, organized and the most comfortable house we have ever been in on vacation!! My own home does not even look this good!!! My family and I were in heaven and hated to leave. Did I mention the beds and bedding were by far the best EVER! Talk about being on clouds! We can’t wait to book again next summer!!! My only regret about this property, was not booking a longer stay…..

The house was immaculate and well stocked. The farm fresh eggs were a nice treat. And the surrounding farmlands were peacefully quiet. I had a great stay.

My husband and I had a great time at this place. Very clean. We saw turkeys and little babies and we also had a nest outside our front door with some baby birds in it. It's accessible to downtown Independence, which is very cute. Little town and you can go many places from here that are not too far. It was very relaxing and quiet. We will hopefully be back again

It was perfect which we could stay longer

A wonderful place to hide from city holiday ruckus. The wildlife around the property thinks so too.

Everything was accurate for the listing and the door code was provided in advance. There were many small amenities including coffee/tea, bath items (including bubble bath for the large tub), games/puzzles, and even farm fresh eggs in the fridge.

Aesthetically we stepped back into a simpler, nostalgic time while enjoying all the benefits of today’s convenience updates. The hosts thought of everything to make our stay, comfy -in a luxurious way Bottles of fragrant bubble bath to enhance a nice soak in the claw foot tub (with a view of their pond ) is just one example. Two fun personalized touches were the farm fresh eggs we found in the frig and birthday napkins stocked in the lovely coffee bar area to celebrate my husbands special day. Clean, Classy, Cozy Country Retreat could summarize what we enjoyed this week at Anderson House in Indrpendence….definitely a 5 Star stay

This place is perfect! The owners have astounding attention to details. Cozy beds with nice linens awaited us after a day exploring the area! Amazing coffee bar greeted us each morning (and sometimes in the afternoon)! Enjoyed sitting on the back deck to watch the many birds living on the sanctuary. They even provided binoculars and books to help identify the many different birds around. Kitchen was set up with everything we needed to make our dinners at night. Stayed here a few years ago when we dropped our daughter off at OSU, stay again for a visit and this trip was to attend her graduation. Hoping something in the future will bring us back this way again. BEST place we have ever stayed!!

Will be back no question & added to my list of “Happy Places”. Not enough characters describe the awesomeness of The Anderson House. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Beautiful home filled with thoughtful touches . Perfect for people wanting country seclusion

Great property. Peaceful and quiet. Lots of wildlife.

Hands down - the best vrbo we have stayed in! The property is expansive, peaceful and beautiful - a bird watchers paradise. The inside had so many little touches like bubble bath, coffee and cream and even eggs from her chickens. We would highly recommend !

Nice place for a weekend business trip.

It was great to spend a few quite days in the country while visiting family in the area. I hadn't slept so well in a long time. Definitely would stay again.

Lovely grounds, great crafstman bungalow, all kinds of ducks and geese around. Sound of frogs at night.

The house was exactly as listed, very clean and quiet. Every little detail was thought of-it was the perfect relaxing stay for our family. Will definitely stay here again!

Our stay was exactly what we needed - a peaceful getaway not far from shopping and activities. It was a wonderful experience in a beautiful home. Kitchen had more than most - Keurig, slow cooker, Instant Pot, even an immersion blender, and was thoughtfully stocked with all coffee supplies including sugar, creamer, and coffee syrups, oatmeal, and plenty of spices and other cooking staples. Bathroom had all necessities, including plenty of towels, toilet paper, hair dryer and first aid supplies. The huge soaking tub was a much appreciated bonus. It snowed while we were there but we stayed warm inside due to individual thermostats in both bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen, as well as a gas fireplace in the living room. Lots of windows allowed the light to shine through. I loved it and appreciated the thoughtful touches that made us feel welcome.

Loved staying here! It was peaceful and quiet, exactly what we needed to escape for a few days. Beautiful property, and very well equipped kitchen!

The stairs were difficult going up steep no hand railing. Oven burner on right would not stay in took 2 hours to do breakfast. The residence was very nice and clean but very far out from stores and I didn’t plan well so didn’t get enough stuff otherwise cute

We loved our stay. I’ve been in a ton of short term rentals and this was the best stocked one ever! Anything you can think of, they had. It was very clean and cozy, the grounds and views were stunning. Just a little caution if you are sensitive to noises while sleeping, the heaters click all night long. Unfortunately, we didn’t sleep well between that and the rock hard beds. The memory foam topper only does so much. We are both hurting and tired after our stay, but overall, it was a great experience.

5th time staying at this gem. Wildlife in abundance. There must have been a dozen wild turkeys wandering around the property. Blue Heron, Canada Geese, woodpeckers and more. Oh, flannel sheets, so comfy.

Excellent

We loved all the special touches (the coffee syrups, condiments, spices, etc)! It was very clean, cozy & welcoming. We wish we had more time to spend watching the birds, walking the property! enjoying

This property was the perfect place for a quiet, peaceful and comfortable visit. It had EVERYTHING to make a stay perfect! The beds were so comfortable, the space was so clean and cozy.. we could not ask for more! We loved being able to step out onto the deck and hear the birds (or view with the provided binoculars). I hope to have a reason to come back to this area, I would stay here every time!

The house is absolutely perfect and in a wonderful and very quiet spot. We really loved it there. We were there for three nights and would come back any time if ever in the area. The house was equipped with everything, beds are great and porch wonderful with a great view.
