Comfortably furnished in eclectic "thrift store" (see something you like? make an offer!) this unique, three-story, non-smoking vacation home, nestled in the mountains 25 minutes from Ashland, sleeps eight in beds, or more by arrangement. The "barnhouse" is filled with light from the many varied windows, each of which affords stunning views of the surrounding five and one half acres, backed by "endless" BLM/National Forest Service Land.
Relax by the wood stove, read from a library of books published before your time. No tv, no computer. Just Peace and Quiet (except once a day when the train goes by, and that's an EVENT!) "Family" meals available. And a playhouse for the kids!
Off Mt. Ashland Ski Road 20 minutes from the Ski Lodge. Hike or cross country ski (in winter!) to your heart's content along the railroad track, or wander on miles of the BLM/National Forest Service Land. Just 2 miles down the road sits an authentic Tibetan Buddhist Temple with a lovely Statue Garden containing a 35' beautifully hand-painted Buddha with the White Tara on one side and the Green Tara on the other. The Garden is open to the public. Special tours of the Temple by arrangement. From the end of February to the end of October the Oregon Shakespeare Festival provides live performances in 4 different theaters in Ashland six nights a week.

We really enjoyed our stay in the delightful secluded Barnhouse. The house is in a beautiful setting surrounded by mountains, trees and meadows. This is a relaxed informal house that exudes character and charm. Inside, the house is spacious and full of nooks and crannies just begging to be explored. There are lots of windows which make the most of the views and outside there are plenty of places to sit and relax and watch the deer and the birds. It’s original, enchanting and charming and it is more like a home than a rental. Thanks Mouna. --

Oct. 13, 2008 Dear Mouna, Thank you for this lovely old Barnhouse. We have had a pleasant stay here. We found peace and quiet, as well as a sense of adventure in exploring this place--the coolest playhouse ever. We’ve enjoyed gazing at the sweet, graceful deer, the beautiful trees, mountains and sky, listening to records while cuddled under the colorful afghan on the balcony’s big cozy papasan chair, and watching the light of dawn creep in through the big upstairs picture window. What an enchanting place this is. We hope to visit this Barnhouse again! It was so nice to meet you--it would have been nice to stay a bit longer and chat with you! Best wishes from us to you, Karin, Bob, and Buddy (the dog)

Homeowner Response:
What a pleasure it is to have more guests who appreciate the Barnhouse for what it is--a home away from home. That was my intention from the outset, and it delights me to see that my vision is coming true. I will welcome you back with open arms!

Mouna, We had too little time here but loved the early mornings and nights we spent. Your house has thousands of stories to tell and so many lovingly placed details. We felt like honoured guests in a home full of history-- the owner/host having just gone away for a weekend. Thank you, Jane and Ray
