Stone's Throw Bungalow ~ Walk to Plays, Licensed/Legal, Private Entrance, Garden

Just a stone's throw to the plaza, a licensed one-bedroom vacation rental suite is tucked behind one of Ashland's charming craftsman-style bungalows. Your private gated entrance, located behind the house, opens onto a peaceful garden and quaint patio - a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee and a book, or a glass of wine in the evening. In the summer and fall, help yourself to the ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs and fruit growing in the garden. The owner has lovingly created a sanctuary-like space within the town's premier historic district. Step back in time and enjoy a quiet retreat away from TVs and phones. (FREE, high-speed, reliable, password-protected Wifi is available for your laptop should you wish.)

Your separate, attached one-bedroom retreat awaits and features fine linens, a private bath and a fully-stocked kitchenette including organic tea, coffee, cream and sugar. Step inside: a cool, restful palette adorns a tastefully furnished room that includes period pieces such as an arts-and-crafts style armoire. You'll find a quiet, comfortable bedroom that overlooks an enchanted, fragrant flower garden. This inviting space features wood and tile floors, a ceiling fan, a silent A/C and heating unit, wall and space heaters, and plenty of windows so that you can take advantage of the abundant natural light and fresh mountain air. The bungalow is kept exceptionally clean using homemade, environmentally-friendly cleaners and a HEPA air purifier. Sorry, no smoking or pets.

The on-site owner has been a resident of Ashland for the past 23 years. Your privacy is my utmost priority. If desired, I would be happy to guide you nearby hiking and biking trails, farmer's markets, wineries, hot springs and locally-grown organic food. I am also happy to supply you with anything you need during your stay.

Ashland highlights such as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Lithia Park, Cabaret Theater, downtown plaza, restaurants, shops, and movie theaters are all within a lovely 10 - 15 minute walk. You'll stroll through a level, shaded historic neighborhood and cross a bridge over the gentle waters of Ashland Creek on your way there!

To maximize your privacy, cleaning services are not included as part of your stay. Fresh linens will be provided to those guests staying one week or longer. The Stone's Throw Bungalow is an eco-friendly establishment. We encourage walking, biking, carpooling, bus riding, conservation, recycling and other practices that lessen your impact on the earth during your stay.

Above and Beyond
We were one mile away from our destination, when we were t-boned by a vehicle… not a great way to start. Even as we were dealing with the aftermath of the accident, Karin and Guy swung into action and helped us find dinner, and get to our play on time. They checked in on us every day, as we alternated between trying to make progress on our insurance claim, and also tried to enjoy Ashland. Their place is a refuge, but so are they, as people. We can’t thank them enough for all of the help and support!

Enjoyed our stay
We stayed at the cottage for 2 nights to attend Shakespeare plays and enjoy Ashland. It was a very good experience. It was comfortable, clean and well appointed. the garden was a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine later on. The bed was comfortable, the A/C was efficient, and parking was off street. I definitely recommend this place and long and it doesn’t interfere with the dates we want to return ;).

Lovely place and garden
The location was great just a 15 minute walk to dt and the theater. The interior was beautifully designed and outfitted, very comfortable bed, quiet, and small. The best of all was the garden which we used as our living room. Coffee in the morning when it warmed up, reading and chatting. Really gorgeous and well maintained.

Really enjoyed our stay at Stone's Throw. In immaculate condition, practical kitchen area, shower was hot and bed was great. The garden area really made a difference offering an outdoor relaxing and dining area. Very serene atmosphere. Took about 15-20 minutes to walk downtown. Our host was most accommodating. A perfect stay.

Very Comfortable Stay
The property was appointed with comfortable furnishings and the lighting was very good. We drove to the theatre and found adequate parking early before the performances. We actually enjoyed the dining more than the performances. The description of the property is accurate and it was sparkling clean.

The property is quite nice. There is a modest, but quite adequate kitchen. The bed is very comfortable! There is a large outdoor space right outside of the door, with a separate area enclosed by landscape, for the unit. The area has seating, surrounded by trees and beautiful plantings and herbs. Overall a really nice place to stay!

Backyard Sanctuary
I stayed for 2 weeks while working in the area and this bungalow was the perfect quiet retreat to come home to. I especially enjoyed the comfy bed, and the cotton bed linens make all the difference. The garden was lovely and I enjoyed having my coffee outside, and I the birds singing. The bungalow feels very private, even with all the curtains open.

Stone’s Throw Bungalow was a great place to stay when we traveled to Ashland to visit an old friend. Karin and Guy provided so many extra little touches, such as a fresh fruit board and fresh flowers, it made our visit feel special. The place is very clean and well-equipped with kitchen supplies and better-quality linens. Thanks for your thoughtful hospitality!

Wouldn't change anything about our stay at Stone's Throw Bungalow - absolutely everything we needed was available ... and then some. Perfect walking distance to downtown restaurants and theaters. Extremely friendly hosts who helped us get oriented. We were able to enjoy sitting out in the garden as well before the rainy weather came in. Just perfect and would absolutely stay here again on our next Ashland getaway!

Perfect for Play Goers!
The cottage was clean and serene. I really appreciated the yummy healthy, thoughtful treats, coffee, and tea provided. The garden is lovely and I enjoyed the friendly feline who hopped up on the arm of the lawn chair for a brief cat chat. Play goers can park and walk to the theaters through a lovely neighborhood. I look forward to returning.
