About Sharon McKennaOwner / Property manager
I am from Virginia and I love it! I grew up in Alexandria but moved farther south after college. I met my husband in 1986, we married in 1988 and moved to Ashland in 1990. We love Ashland and enjoy sharing our town! I am an active volunteer in the community, I enjoy reading, entertaining, boating and most of all, playing with my grandson.
Sharon McKennaOwner / Property manager purchased this House in 1993
Why Sharon McKennaOwner / Property manager chose Ashland
We wanted to own a commercial building in our town. Originally, it was built as a pharmacy and served the community for about 60 years. When we bought it there was a retail store on the first floor but the second floor had been severely neglected. In fact, the store owner complained that it was "raining" in her store. After intense negotiations, we were able to purchase the building. We had the second floor restored as office space and had wonderful tenants for about 20 years. When the economy faltered, the businesses moved home. So, we decided to try a guesthouse!
What makes this House unique
The 2,000 ft. space is all for you! It is a private, unique bed and breakfast. It features 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms and lots of additional space! Folks love the downtown as they can walk to a craft brewery (right downstairs), restaurants, shopping, and music venues. The two front rooms are designed for leisure and fun. Foosball and shuffleboard ares always fun, or relax in the gathering room and watch the trains roll past.

A great stay!!!
We spent a long weekend at The Tinder Guest House. The beds were comfy and the decorations spot on. The trains come through regularly but we didn't hear much. The warm breakfasts were very welcome and yummy. Thanks to Sharon and Sheila for taking such good care of us. If we are back in Ashland, we'll stay again for sure. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I was so sorry we didn't get to meet you but we look forward to your next visit! You were excellent guests!
