About Lois Van Aken
I have lived and worked in this wonderful town for 30 years. I bought this home in 1986 with the dream that someday I would turn it into a travelers accommodation. Over the years I have carefully remodeled and restored this 1900 cottage and I welcomed my first visitors in 2008.
Lois Van Aken purchased this house in 1986
Why Lois Van Aken chose Southern Oregon
What I love about this property is its close proximity to the heart of downtown, the coop, and the park while still maintaining a quiet, natural setting. All are within 3 minutes walking distance so you can leave your car parked in the driveway for days.
What makes this house unique
In addition to the pleasing home and proximity to downtown, you can sit outside on the porch or on the patio and enjoy the beautiful gardens surrounding the home with the green mountains in the background.

Wonderful!

Great place to stay. Lots of room, clean, nice garden.
Felt like home
Comfy and Convenient
Lois's cottage is perfect for two couples. We stayed three nights and found the house immaculate and well stocked. Lovely linens and all the kitchen amenities we needed. The location is ideal for a stroll into downtown Ashland for shopping and a play, but just enough off the beaten path for privacy and serenity. The yard is picture perfect and the porch ideal for relaxing with a cup of tea. If you get the chance to stay here, don't hesitate to book.
Always the Best
I always plan my Ashland visits around the availability of this cottage...it's the perfect house in the perfect quiet neighborhood with the perfect hostess. Ten minute walk to theaters and everything downtown, so you never need to think about parking. Always spotless and very comfortable beds.
Truly a "Home Away" from Home!
Lois, the owner, has provided a fantastic place to stay in Ashland. The location is close enough to walk to all the attractions, the house was equipped with everything you need to cook meals, the furniture was comfortable, and the decorating superb.
I felt at home from the moment I stepped in the house.
Thanks for the great place!
We keep coming back!
Perfect cottage shared by two
couples for third year which means
we love it!! Everything we need
and spotless. Location is quiet and
easy walk to theatres and shopping.
Quiet air conditioning. Wonderful
shady front porch for relaxing. Owner
is great to deal with and we are already thinking about next year!
So Close To Downtown
Our family (two adults and two teenage daughters came to Ashland for the Shakespeare Festival. The plays run late (11:00 and after) so it was so nice to literally walk home and be at the doorstep within 10 minutes. The place was clean, cozy (with many books to choose from if that is your desire), and the owner couldn't have been more accommodating. Would recommend this for couples, family of 4 (provided the other 2 don't mind sharing a bed). In addition, Ashland did a phenomenal job with their downtown (again 10 minute walk) with fabulous restaurants and boutiquey shops to explore. I ran 5 miles each morning a different direction and felt very safe each time.

I prefer a 3 night minimum stay but less than that is possible depending on what openings I have on the calendar so contact me to ask if you want to reserve for less than 3 nights and I can see if it is possible.
