Ashland’s Whistle Stop – In the heart of the Center Of The Universe
Come and enjoy this beautifully remodeled and quaintly decorated 3-bedroom 2.5-bathroom home that will enfold you in the look and feel of the Town of Ashland. Come and enjoy the custom décor that celebrates all that Ashland has to offer, such as the Train Room, the
Randolph Macon inspired bedroom, and the Center of the Universe Billiards Room.
Located just blocks from Downtown Ashland and Randolph Macon College – choose your mode of getting around – many attractions are walkable such as the YMCA or Town Pool. If you prefer biking, there are many quiet, safe, tree-lined streets that end up at the center of town where there are many restaurants and shops. Catch a movie at the recently renovated Ashland Theater then stop in one of the local eateries for live music and a cold beverage.
Community events like street parties, fun runs, bicycle rides, Holiday parades, the Strawberry Fair and of course, the Biennial Ashland Musical Variety Show as well as Randolph Macon College sports and campus events help make Ashland a very lively, fun, and friendly place to be.

House is very clean and well stocked and the host is very responsive.
My husband and I recently stayed at this property while attending a business meeting in Richmond. It was very comfortable, super clean and very quiet. James was extremely helpful and responsive. We would definitely recommend this home for future guests.
This was our second time staying at 8 Swanee to take the kids to Kings Dominion for a few days before school starts back up. It was just as described and close to the Park. We’d definitely stay here again!
We planned on staying in Ashland while visiting my sister nearby. The property was as advertised with pristine themed rooms. All of the beds were extremely comfortable and allowed for maximum relaxation. The host recommended a local eatery The Caboose approximately 7 minutes away and it was just as awesome as the residence. Definitely staying again when I visit Virgina!
House was very clean and well maintained in quiet neighborhood. Perfect for families. Great communication with property manager. We would stay here again.
Great place to relax and unwind. Very user friendly and room for everyone to have their own space, but also able to have time together. Worked great for us and felt like home. Easy to walk into the center of town. James was great and responded quickly to a small issue we encountered even though it was getting late. Will definitely consider staying again.
We had a wonderful time visiting family in Glen Allen from this modern, beautifully appointed home. It had everything we needed, and the host was extremely attentive and thoughtful. Highly recommend. It is quite close to downtown Ashland, and about 20 mins to Glen Allen.
It was a great place to stay. Everything was clean and beds slept nicely!
We came to visit our oldest child and his family. Very close to Richmond and many things to do in the area. The property was very nice and clean! We would definitely stay again!
We used this home for a short business trip and it suited our needs perfect. Convenient location and comfortable and enjoyable amenities.
The property was wonderful. James had everything we needed there and then some. It was just the two of us but a grandaughter and great grandson came down for 3 of our days. He loved the bunk beds and the two bathrooms were great. Beds were very comfortable and home was nicely decorated.
Great location to local restaurants and local attractions. The host was very responsive in providing information about the property. Plus, my boys loved the pool table.
Owner was responsive and communicative during reservation process. How was very nice. Would stay there again.
This property was about as good as a vacation rental gets. Sadly, we were in town for a family funeral, so the potential to feel stressed and emotional was high. Thankfully the house was pretty much perfect and provided us with a very comfortable place to retreat between events and gatherings. I loved all of the Ashland decor, and we found everything we needed at the house during our stay. We even walked downtown for dinner one evening. Thanks for a truly homey place to land during a tough time.
Felt like a home away from home. Stayed here for my daughter’s wedding at Seven Springs Manor in Manquin Virginia.
