Charming Retreat: Ashland's Urban Hideaway

Step in from the quiet, tree-lined street to this century-old house updated with all modern amenities. A few short blocks to Ashland Plaza, Helman House boasts two large bedrooms, a king-size bed downstairs and two queens upstairs, two full baths, and a basic kitchen for light & simple meal preparation. Enjoy the bright kitchen nook for your sunny morning coffee or a long soak in the cast iron clawfoot tub that will spoil you with the charm of Old Ashland.

Convenient to the many theaters—including the world-renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival, boutique shops, award-winning wineries, and restaurants Ashland is famous for, Helman House is a home away from home for visitors eager to experience all Southern Oregon has to offer.

Two studio cottages are available separately behind the house off the brick terrace parking, making Helman House perfect for a multi-party getaway.

This home has a central heat and AC.

There is more than one unit at this property. There are security cameras at shared properties.

Short Walk to All the Action
My husband and I have stayed at many of the rentals in Ashland over the years. We really enjoyed the location of Hellman House. One could walk just about anywhere to dine, have drinks, shop, visit famous Lythia Park. The home was clean, and the property manager was very responsive. My only nitpicky thought is that the upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a door. Kind of odd. Should be easy enough to add one. Our daughter and her fiancé stayed with us two nights, and so we had to be quiet downstairs as not to wake them over our early morning coffee.

Wkend in downtown Ashland
We were in town to visit our daughter who is a student @ SOU it’s was absolutely prefect. We walked to the market blocks away then stopped at the shops on the strip the house was size an amenities were perfect! The only issue we had was we checked in an the Tv was broke we didn’t have tv til about 1pm Saturday which made us have a small delay in our trip which was a bummer bc we were only in town for 2days but thanks to Lennon who was absolutely awesome & got us a working tv!! He was very very friendly & worked with us quickly so we could enjoy the rest of the day thank you for everything all in all the host was great an very responsive too still get a 5star from us !! Thank for everything

Charming historic home in a perfect location to walk!
Excellent old home that has been modified throughout the decades to keep up with modern conveniences. Excellent heating and cooling systems. Love the front porch for rocking with a morning cup of coffee and an evening glass of wine. Pretty quiet inside while sleeping despite close neighbors with hyper-reactive dogs and a daycare. Each bedroom has a window without a blind/covering, so bring an eye mask if you don't want to be woken up by natural light from a 6ish am sunrise.

Ashland trip
I can not say enough good things about the helman house. It was so charming and comfortable. We loved the little enclosed front yard and the well lit breakfast nook. The location was excellent and was an easy 7ish minute walk to downtown ashland and ~10 minutes to the Oregon Shakespeare festival. My daughter loved the upstairs bedroom - big and spacious. sylvie was also excellent in her communication and availability. The neighborhood is super cute also. I would strongly recommend this place if you are staying in Ashland.

What a great place to stay in Ashland- the location is ideal-you can park the car off street and walk to restaurants, the food Coop and of, course the theatres! The kitchen is adequately supplied, bedrooms and baths nice and clean.

Ashland Highlights
A friend of mine and I stayed to this property for three days. We fully enjoyed the location as it is within walking distance to most everything a tourist could want or need. The home was clean, the beds comfortable and the front porch peacefully quite. All was as it was advertised to be and our host made herself available to answer questions and give recommendations. An easy place to return to should we find need for accommodations in Ashland sometime in the future.

Had a great time. Nice that it was in walking distance to town. Never drove once. Beds very comfortable. The only thing was a rug in front room. It was coming up on the edge of living room. We kept tripping. It should be replaced before someone falls and gets hurt. Otherwise great place to stay. We would stay again.

Ashland Convenience
This is a great location for visiting Ashland. It is close to downtown and to the Railroad District which has the Ashland Food Coop and the wonderful Noble Coffee. The house is pet friendly. It’s only weakness is the kitchen. It’s small, no dishwasher and not well stocked. For a longer stay it would be an issue. We would return again for a short stay.
