Terrible communicartion and broken Hot Tub.
I really wanted to leave a positive review on this cute little home however, that's not the case. This was our annual girls trip that we alternate locations each year; we were very excited to spend 4 days in Ashland this year. We chose this property for the large hot tub that overlooked the beautiful valley's so that we could unwind after the days events. Unfortunately, when we arrived the tub was broken. I attempted several times to contact the Property Host and never received a response. On the second day She finally picked up the phone and laughed the issue off saying " Oh, that stinking Hot tub, it's always something with it". She did send a few guys out who fixed it however it was tottaly filthy and unusable. The guys left the lid off and said they would be back later to clean it, they never returned. I attempted again to reach the Host with no response. I e-mailed her asking for a discount on our balance as the only reason we chose this location was due to the hot tub and of course, no response and no discount granted.

Perfect Family Home Base for OSF Visit!
We stayed at this country house with our adult children while enjoying the closing week of OSF and exploring the local Southern Oregon area. The property is spacious with a large kitchen for family cooking and beautiful patio area for outside dining. We loved relaxing in the hot tub and watching cattle graze in a nearby pasture. And all this was just minutes away from downtown Ashland and quick freeway access to Medford!

Great location, poor communication and cleanliness.
The location of this property is great, it’s gated and just outside of town. Communicating with the host was very difficult, it took over 2 hours to get into the property, check in at 4. The code was not provided, we attempted to contact the host 2 hours before check in and they could not be reached. We called, texted and messaged via the Vrbo app. We were only able to gain entry after contacting customer service and then they called the host and customer service provided us with the code. Very strange. It was over 110 during our visit so our food spoiled during the wait. We went to the store prior to going to the house. We’ve never had an issue contacting the host or gaining access with other Vrbo stays. Other attempts to communicate with the host were unsuccessful and questions were left unanswered which was disappointing. We attempted to communicate we’d be bringing dogs but were unable to because the host was unresponsive. There are currently unanswered questions in the chat, but I digress. All of the pans and dishes needed to be cleaned and sanitized which was a bummer. The cast iron skillet was rusty and had a layer of something in it. I tried to communicate to the host that a black slime had come out of the master bedroom bathroom tap but they didn’t even acknowledge that comment. Overall if communication would have been better we would have looked over these shortcomings. We hope the host addresses these issues because the house itself is in a great location.

Great place!
Everything was great! More than enough room and great amenities for kids and the 6 adults that met at the house. The yard and hot tub were fantastic! I just wish there was a map or directions on how to get to the waterfall and pond. We were not sure if we could go through the gate to get to them.

This home/property exceeded all expectations and if perfection exists, this was it for our annual family get together. The space, the environment, the outdoor and indoor setup and arrangement gave us a graceful, peaceful, joyful, private and stupendously gorgeous place to enjoy one another. The host was responsive, kind, friendly and when there was a typo delaying checking in on time, she exceeded expectations here as well by simply giving a refund of a night without being asked to do so - far more than I would ever have asked regarding this issue. We will ALL be back and I have a group of friends now looking at booking this same place for OUR annual get-together!!

All aspects of rental went smoothly. Roomy, clean house. Enjoyed the cattle roaming the property. An instruction manual would be helpful for some items like the tub shower. Was not familiar with diverting water to shower head by pulling down in ring around tub spout.

Great location and room for the whole family
6 of us stayed at this property May 12-16 to celebrate a virtual Master's graduation from. We had a make-up/photographer come to doll us gals up and used the beautiful landscape around the property to take photos. The home is large enough we were close but not stumbling over one another. The lake that one can see from the front porch (my favorite spot) is a nice walk and a good fishing spot. On our last night we were surprised when we went to BBQ and the extra propane tank was empty. We had only used the BBQ once before. There were no grilling tools so that was difficult. Be prepared to have a couple strong bodies to cover the hot tub back up as the cover is quite unusual and heavy. The hot tub is actually a swim tub and in need of a cleaning and shock treatment. It does accommodate a lot of people. The sheets on our bed were in need of a good bleaching or to be retired due to large stains. When your navigation system says you are there at the large gate you really are. The address is deteriorating and not easy to see.

Good COVID getaway
Good say at a good property. The location is a bit secluded but not far from town which is what we were looking for. The property was in good condition with the exception of a post in the railing up to the front patio which was broken and nearly caused our almost two year old to tumble off the steps multiple times. The sounds of the kitchen hood vent and bathroom fans were unlike any sound I've heard from a fan before. Not confidence inspiring, but a good source of comic relief. The views were great and the hot tub is huge and a great place to relax. Overall the house, while not high-end, was very comfortable and fit our needs well. We would consider staying there again.

This was the perfect place for our family to get together. We loved the front porch and spent a lot of time visiting and enjoying the great views and wildlife. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own spaces too. The kitchen had everything we needed. We walked to the waterfall several times and did lots of hikes in the area. It was great to be close to Ashland as well. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful setting, close to Ashland
This property has an amazing view in a relaxing setting. Everyone enjoyed relaxing in the HUGE hot tub overlooking the ranch at the end of the day. It was also close for us to get to lakes, downtown Ashland, grocery store, etc. Best of both worlds - being in the country but close to the city. We had a great time. Thank you!

Wonderful getaway!
We stayed for a week and had a great time. The lake on the property was so much fun to hang out at with our dog, and the town of Ashland is great. Bonnie and her family were super welcoming and responsive. We were working during the week and had no problem with wifi etc. The only thing I would do differently next time is to bring a brita filter or something - the tap water is totally safe but tastes a little funky (really mineraly).

We visited Ashland in the beginning of August. It was the perfect retreat, we were able to relax at the ranch, watch the wildlife, take walks to the waterfall, and soak in the hot tub while watching the stars. Its a gem and was the perfect social distancing get away we all needed.
