The Ashland Cottage is a lovely place to stay! We especially loved the shaded deck, where we spent the evening Happy Hour time and also ate our dinner ( Market of Choice yummy deli items!) . This is a well-designed separate, detached cottage, sharing the owners back yard. Margaret was very responsive when I texted her, shortly after we arrived in the early evening, kindly asking her to bring her 2 pups inside, as they were doing quite a bit of loud barking. We are dog lovers, too, and have one of our own at home. However, after a long & tiring day of driving, we really just wanted to sip our wine and enjoy sitting on the beautiful tree shaded deck in peace & quiet. The interior is just beautiful & charming! The shower is especially wonderful. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The upstairs, loft bedroom is lovely, if a bit tight to move around in due to the King size bed, which takes a lot of space. It is comfortable, however a bit tricky to get into on the left side...so close to the wall. And, on the right side the bottom corner is super close to the half wall, so a person needs to be extra careful not to bump into that wall. ....A plus, for sure, is having a half bath upstairs w/ the bedroom, and the whole bath downstairs w/ the terrific shower! This cozy cottage is a very special place to stay in Ashland. You will be so happy & comfortable here! We hope to stay here again some day! We wish the kind owners continued success!
