Silver Heart Inn & Cottages, Independence

the people that owned the...

Liked: very well maintained and cozy
Disliked: lots of sirens and didn’t feel like the safest part of town

Perfect romantic stay cation spot

Liked: Newish owner was super friendly upon arrival! We stayed for our anniversary and as an independence area local I've driven past it all the time decided to stay! Charming, absolutely charming. The beach cottage was clean, comfortable, the cottage has its own private hot tub completely private even from surrounding neighbors! Kitchen was not only stocked with dishes and pans but coffee, tea, liquid creamers, but the spices were stocked! Did not need to buy those small things like spices we forget when on holiday! Breakfast was amazing and cooked at the time we sat down, not buffet style! Full two course style breakfast not those horrible continental. Saturday was my partners favorite from scratch made biscuits and from scratch made gravy with an egg and a chicken sausage link after the first course of honey vanilla yogurt topped with home made plum jam and almond slices! Sunday was strawberry and cream filled French toast made with French bread.. and sausage. Served after the first coarse of a Waldorf salad! Coffee, tea, juice and water were available. And the beds.. when you stay on a bed that is better than at home... just amazing service, charming room.. and plenty of soft plush towels... a perfect romantic get away!!!The host is exactly the kind of inn keeper you find joy in visiting again
Disliked: The only reason location is like 4 * out of 5 was its spring we had windows open and it was very close to a busy intersection and near a firehouse.. when windows are closed though the emergency vehicles and traffic is a lot more muffled and its quiet! But it is very close to a quiktrip and a grocery store! Close to independence Square and other historic travel spots!

I would definitely recommend

Liked: very unique. Homemade breakfast was delicious! Owners were very friendly and accommodating.
Disliked: didn’t find anything I didn’t like

Our stay was pleasant.

Liked: The room was small but we liked the corner windows and the quieter back of the house location The staff was friendly. It was nice to have coffee snacks available.
Disliked: The breakfast, though tasty, was a bit lacking. Rolls, biscuits, or muffins could have/should have accompanied the main dish to make for a more substantial offering.
