European Style Straw Bale Retreat

Just out of town which gave it the retreat feel.

This unique home had so many little details that helped make our stay a memorable one. We enjoyed the country atmosphere and quiet, away from the noise of the city. There is a gated entry to the property, which we appreciated. We saw deer grazing, heard birds singing and a bear left its calling card (we didn't have a chance to spot it). Some of the kitchen appliances have a retro look which was very cute (toaster, coffee maker, microwave). We enjoyed the towel warmer next to the shower, the night lights, custom lighting throughout the home and ample dishware in the kitchen. Beds were all comfortable with soft sheets. Plenty of extra towels. The host was very responsive and helpful with an issue with the hot tub. Internet was a little tricky, we had to pretty much stand by the outside box to connect, but it wasn't a big issue for us. There was a fun hiking trail just a few minute drive from the house and we enjoyed all the charms of Ashland, just a short drive away, without staying in the middle of the crowds and traffic. Overall, the home met and exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and peaceful!

Beautiful property in a lovely and convenient area. So peaceful, but just a short hop from town. We loved it.

We loved our week-long stay at this beautiful eco-home. So peaceful and beautifully furnished. Close to town but still bathed in nature. We'll definitely come again when we go to Ashland.

This is a great house, we really enjoyed our stay and learning about the house. We usually need a much larger space with 4 bedroom for the family of 5 to be comfortable but this house worked out great for us with the kids loving the little cubby in the wall beds. There is only one toilet in the house but we managed fine. The precaution I would give to others is that the bedroom with 4 beds is up some very tall stairs so careful planning to have anyone without long legs and strong quads staying up there.

Bear eating plums from the tree outside the front window was a highlight!

Our one month stay was incredible! Highly recommended. Secluded, yet very close to town. Very quiet. The hot tub was great. 5 star.

Staying at the home was lovely:1. Fully stocked kitchen2. Large master bedroom3. Plenty of beds in a fun space upstairs4. Beautiful architecture and decorations5. Lovely hiking/biking trail very nearby6. Quick and easy to get to downtown Ashland
