Ideal Cottage For Two

My husband and I decided to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in Ashland and chose this property. We were delighted to find it exactly as represented in its listing/photos. It was private, immaculate, cosy and conveniently located. The outside deck was delightful for our dinners, equipped with a gas barbecue. The owners, Jo Ann and Russ, were very helpful in answering all our questions. Jo Ann is an amazing fabric artist, whose work is on display at the lovely Ashland Arts Center. The Ashland Shakespeare Festival is a short distance down the hill, where we enjoyed great theater. We tasted wines, rode bicycles on the Greenway, visited nearby historic Jacksonville and explored the wonderful shops on Main Street. Our first time in this area, and we were thoroughly captivated. We can highly recommend Pasta Piatti for lunches and dinners. We were impressed with Zoey's All Natural Ice Cream: try the Oregon Trail ice cream...it's the best! This property has it all and was a wonderful place to come home to after our daily adventures. Kitchen is fully functional, bathroom is BEAUTIFUL with a washer/dryer, lots of windows and light, books and movies made available by the owners. I enjoyed reading my Kindle in the window seat and seeing the deer nearby. Thanks, Jo Ann and Russ, for helping make our time in Ashland so enjoyable!

Beautiful month at La Dolce Vita

I stayed at LDV for the month of April. I came for the Ashland Independent Film Festival, the Shakespeare Plays, and to just be in a beautiful town for a month. I have grown to love Ashland over the years of coming here each year and LDV made my long stay very comfortable, enjoyable and relaxing. This cottage is ideal for 1 or 2 people and comfortable and cozy. It was cold and rainy most of the time so being indoors at this charming place was great. While sitting in the living room looking out the windows, I felt I was in a tree house because I could see all the beautiful trees against the skies. The house every modern and convenient amenities that one could ever need for a short or long stay. In addition, Joanne and Russ were very accommodating and hospitable and I appreciated it since I was there so long. I hope I will be able to return next year.

Don't let this gem pass you by: rich wood floors, vaulted ceilings, wonderful floor plan, generous size kitchen and living room, with amazing views in a beautiful neighborhood. Your hosts, Russ and Jo Ann, are gracious and generous. We enjoyed being close to the campus of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and enjoyed the short walk to see the shows and explore the shops and restaurants downtown. We had a blast and this beautiful cottage is truly sweet!

My wife and I recently spent 3 days at La Dolce Vita and found it charming, comfortable and quiet. All amenities are provided and the property is immaculate. The cottage is in a lovely section of Ashland and close to the town center. We enjoyed our time there very much, far more than would have been possible at any hotel. Russ and JoAnn are wonderful hosts and always there if you need them. We hope to return to La Dolce Vita and Ashland soon.

This property is beautiful and comfortable. So much better than a hotel room. Clean, fresh, close to town. The owners were gracious hosts sharing their piece of the world with others. I highly recommend this charming cottage for anyone planning on visiting the Ashland area.

Just loved this place, quiet, pretty, everything is so new and clean. A proper kitchen for cooking real meals! Hiking in all directions, just a few (3?) blocks to everything. The couple who own this place are next door, but it's totally private. They are there for you if anything goes wrong or you need any help. Can't believe what a great value this is (they have AC and large screen TV). I liked sitting on the front porch having breakfast each morning, then lacing up the hiking boots (get a hiking map from the Information kiosk in town) for a few miles, then home for a shower and wander into town for a play, a dinner, just a wander. We did the farmer's market on Saturday and shopped at the Co-op on First Street for great sandwiches. Thanks Russ - you're the best!

This pretty little cottage is just as nice as the photos in the website. Located just above downtown Ashland and the Shakespeare Festival, it is remarkaby quiet and free of traffic noise. It is in a lovely neighborhood of older homes with large old trees and beautiful gardens. The cottage is well maintained and is like-new inside and out thanks to the friendly and helpful owners Russ and Jo Ann. It is perfect for couples or single travelers seeking a peaceful escape. This cottage will be our first choice the next time we come to Ashland.

Highly recommended. We'll be back!

My wife and I are vacation rental fans and we generally avoid hotels except for overnight stays. This property ranks as one of our favorites. It is like new, because it is new construction. There are no hints of cigarettes, cologne, or dryer sheets. The condition of the house, appliances and furnishings are near immaculate and well maintained. The all tile shower is very generously sized for a cottage. The front porch and the side patio offer a welcome choice of outdoor seating depending on the time of day and temperature. The side patio offers a peek-a-boo view of hills in the distance. The hilly streets provide brisk exercise if you chose to walk to town instead of drive. The owner couple seemed to be quality people and both were truly a delight to deal with. We would unhesitatingly recommend this property to friends and family interested in an Ashland stay.

This was our second stay at La Dolce Vita and won't be our last! Gorgeous views with well appointed amenities - this cottage has it all. We enjoyed a peaceful weekend in a comfortable bed with good quality bedding. The kitchen is well equipped and the furnishings are very tasteful. Within walking distance of downtown was a big plus for us.

I stayed in the cottage from January through May while I worked at OSF. It was cozy, comfortable, and even better than my own home. The owners are very helpful and great to work with. Everything went quite well.
