  Our stay here was wonderful! The beds are comfy, there were plenty of towels and extra blankets, everything was clean, and the location was perfect!

  Owner response: Thank you very much for your kind review. We hope you can return when it is not so cold. After you left, the pipes froze and the entire town was in desperate need for plumbers! Our place got flooded in the kitchen and the shed. Luckily, we have Siskiyou Property Management on the job! Whew! They inspected our home, rescued it from danger, and repaired the pipes right away. Just wanted to let you know that you narrowly avoided some wet feet in the morning. ;-) Thank you again for being wonderful guests. Julie & Jory

  My wife and I go to Ashland, OR. twice a year for the plays and fresh air. We have stayed in many hotels and B&Bs. Our weekend at the Victorian Secret was incredible. It is a lovely, well appointed home with a wonderful balance of comfort and convenience. (Just one short block from downtown.) The owners’ attention to detail helped make this weekend special. The room colors and furnishings instilled calm and relaxation. This welcoming home also offered modern amenities. The tree shaded property came with gentle deer visitors. Downtown Ashland with all the quaint shops, spectacular Lithia Park, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, were all truly a minute stroll away. My wife and I highly recommend the Victorian Secret for a romantic getaway. Enjoy your visit. We surely did.

  Owner response: We are so happy you enjoyed your stay, and experienced such relaxing calm. You two work so hard and really deserved the much-needed get-away. We really loved the photo you texted us with the ice cream scooper. ;-) You two were absolutely wonderful guests/friends. Please return again and again. <3 Warmly, Julie & Jory

  We could not have had a more perfect place to stay for our 5 days in Ashland. The Victorian Secret is a beautiful, comfortable home with a great kitchen (we cooked most meals) ,nice places to sit and talk over the plays we had seen, comfy beds (though a little tall for us short people), and a very warm, hospitable owner to deal with. The house was just as described: clean, beautifully decorated (fun artwork!), well equipped and very comfortable for 4 people---all wrapped up in a perfect location. I will definitely recommend this house to friends and relatives and we are already trying to pin down a date for next year's visit to Ashland. This was our second visit to Ashland and once again we were very pleased with the performances that we saw (3 Shakespeares and "My Fair Lady" which had to be the best production that any of us had seen. Terrific!!! We had been concentrating on the Shakespeare plays, but now we plan to broaden our perspective because of the quality of that "oldie but goodie." We didn't venture from Ashland on this trip---just enjoyed the nice shops, the 1st Friday Art Walk, walks in Lithia Park and even a local movie. We also enjoyed tasty dinners in Marconi's and Omar's, two local restaurants. We loved watching the four deer that visited our yard frequently---it was fun to see them nibbling the chestnuts in the front yard and the apples from the backyard and just lolling around anyplace they wanted. Thanks Julie and Jory. We'll be back. Nana and Joel Smith, La Canada, CA Gretchen and Skip McCann, Drexel Hill, PA

  Owner response: Hi Nana & Joel, We are so pleased to hear that you had such a wonderful time. We love those deer too. They are such a nice family. The Fall is the best time for them because there is something for them to munch on in the front and the back yard. Did you notice the step-stools to climb up in the beds? We put those there for easy climbing ;-) The memory foam topper does make the beds a bit tall, but you can remove them if you don't like memory foam, or find the beds to be too tall. Also, it seems that in the summer, sometimes memory foam gets too hot for some people. That's why we chose the toppers, so they can be peeled off if they are too hot. We hope you return again and again. You were such wonderful guests! Take care, Julie & Jory

  We stayed at The Victorian Secret last Fall for our anniversary. What a peaceful getaway, and a relaxing stay in Ashland. We delighted in the little details of the home, the amenities were wonderful and the coffee superb. We read the address on the bag and headed out for a walking adventure to find the coffee shop to buy some for home. Julie's art displayed throughout the home, is beautiful! The grounds, the furnishings, comfortable beds, bath and sitting areas, everything, just right...and the home is very clean and well maintained. So many little ways that Julie and Jory have poured their heart into making this a wonderful place to relax while time stands still.

  25 years of visiting Ashland and we have camped out, stayed in B&B's and various hotels. Never again as we have now discovered Victorian Secret. A block away from the Park, the Creek and several of the best restaurants in Ashland, quick walk to the theaters, on a quiet street with parking. 2 large bedrooms, 1 bath up 1bath down, kitchen with all the amenities, large dining room table and a comfy living room provide you with all comforts of home. The deer family that greeted us around the patio in the back yard was just icing on the cake. The owners were easy to deal with,,offering advice, winery favorites and answering any and all questions. Easy choice for where to stay next year.

  Owner response: Thank you so much for the kind review! You were amazing to work with too. I look forward to working with you again and again, and the deer will surely welcome you every time. :-) Thank you again, Julie

  This charming victorian is the perfect Ashland getaway. It's right in the middle of town for a convenient early morning coffee shop visit or a walk to dinner or the theater, yet out of the hustle and bustle on a side street. It has every modern convenience including luxuriously comfortable bed toppers and heated toilet seats! We have returned again and again and are never disappointed!

  Owner response: We really appreciate guests such as you who keep returning and keep taking such loving care of this home. It means so very much to us. We hope to keep improving things there. We really want to exceed everyone's expectations. Hopefully you'll find some new upgrades and surprises each time you come!!! Sincerely, Julie & Jory

  We recently stayed at The Victorian Secrect and loved this home. So cozy, comfy,perfect. The kitchen was well equipped. We had plenty of room for guests at the dinning room table. The bathrooms well appointed and lovely. Great location near the blvd. Walked everywhere. Even had a deer eating apples that had fallen from the tree. We are looking forward to going back!

  We had a fantastic time at the Victorian Secret in Ashland. We attended the Shakespeare Festival, and the location could not have been better--about a 5-6-minute walk to the theaters. The house itsekf was lovely--decorated in Victorian style but very modern as well. The kitchen was more than fully equiped and we had fun making our own hot chocolate. We met friends from Californa there )another couple), and each of us had a lovely bedroom. This property would be great fro two couples, as we were, or for a family of our, or I could imagine foru girlfriends staying there too.

  Owner response: We are thrilled you and your friends had a great time! The hot chocolate machine was a gift from one of our guests, so they will be so happy to know it is being enjoyed by others. The hot chocolate we provide is made in Ashland at Dagoba. You got to experience the beauty and taste of Ashland. :-) Dagoba also has a great organic chocolate store south of town. Thank you again for being such wonderful guests. We look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely, Julie & Jory
