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.

    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)

  • We agree with the many positive and perceptive comments found here regarding the Barnhouse. If you like peace and quiet, enjoy many nooks, a vigorous afternoon breeze, deer and squirrels in the meadow, the opportunity to play a few tunes on a piano or organ and have catholic tastes in books, furniture, and china, and are fine climbing a few stairs now and then and being a few miles down a twisty-turny road that starts about 8 miles from Ashland, you are likely, as we were, to thoroughly enjoy the Barnhouse. Mouna manages to be helpful without being intrusive.

  • We just returned from the most wonderful vacation at the barn house- Our group of 9 ( 4 adults, 5 kids ages 9 mos to 8 yo)had an amazing time. The location is great - close enough to ashland for day trips but still feels seculuded and rural - the land is beautiful with views of shasta and lots of bird life. The house very clean and is full of treasures and fun for everyone - books and music and games, comfortably heated by the stove, with a well stocked kitchen. Lots of nooks and crannies to play and sleep in. Kids loved the outdoor playhouse and bubble supplies on the deck. Mona is a charming and delightful host.

  • We had a fabulous time staying in the barnhouse. We met up with old friends from Michigan, and between the two families there were 4 adults and 5 kids. There was no lack of places to gather, places to be alone, fun things to do and read and play and look at and cook with in the house. It was an inviting, funky, comfortable, and wholly accommodating place. Thanks, Mouna!! Can't wait to return someday . .

  • What a treasure Mouna's place is. We spent our mornings hiking the grounds greeted by deer, mountains, trees, and quails. We spent our late afternoons each finding a secret place to be alone in the house and read, play piano, chant, think, relax... And our evenings started out with a dinner in the wonderful dining room and a kitchen that has every conceivable thing you may need. And the night ended with a spectacluar show of a starry sky with shooting stars. It was home and we'll be back.
    
    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

  • A very inviting homey place with many charming corners where you find comfort and surprises: a bay window with lots of pillows and books, a balcony facing mountains and forests where you can spend the afternoon reading your favorite book...It was an ideal place for us to get away from the busy life, to spend time with kids, to have the regular visit of deers, and go to bed with a window over our bed to watch the skyful of stars...Our 2 year old kept finding new toys, musical instruments, and great books to keep him happy...The kitchen is well equipped and inviting to prepare a nice meal. A wonderful and very original place where we hope to be back next year.
