Our third stay in this Ashland cottage. A comfortable, well appointed home in a great location just a few blocks from downtown Ashland. Perfect place for walking to the theater, hiking or biking the park and watershed, or just visiting local restaurants. In a very cute, quiet neighborhood with a lovely landscaped private yard that made outdoor dining a pleasure. We have been going to Ashland since 1992, and this is by far our favorite place to stay.

We stayed at Central Avenue Cottage for 5 nights and could have happily stayed longer. It's a delightful house with quiet efficient air conditioning! I say this because it was HOT while we were there and it was always comfortable inside. The beds are comfortable, kitchen well supplied, and other amenities were perfect. We enjoyed barbecuing one evening and often sat outside on the chairs on the front porch. Lois was very responsive every time we had questions.
I hope it will be available when we return to Ashland next year!

Nice house of adequate size. A little too far to walk to downtown Ashland and to the OSF theatres. Quiet neighborhood.

The house is lovely and charming, and fully stocked. It is in a great part of town, within easy walking distance to the theater, park, restaurants, etc. We all agreed we would like to move in!

This house was an amazing spot for two couples sharing a few days of play going and hanging out.
Location was great, just blocks from the downtown shops, restaurants and theaters.
House was comfortable, well stocked and had the perfect combination of common spaces to socialize and individual bedroom and bath spaces for some private time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Being able to walk to plays, restaurants, Lithia Park and the weekend art fair was fantastic. Having Shakespeare resources in the cottage was great.

Cental Avenue Cottage was perfect for us, 2 adult couples. Located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Ashland. Easy walk to Lithia Park, shops, groceries (Ashland co-op) and especially the Shakespeare Festival theaters.
Our host was quick to reply and very accommodating. The beds were comfortable, and kitchen equipped to make all our meals. Also, an inviting outdoor porch and patio space to enjoy.
Thank you and we would love to stay at this place in the future.

Beautiful location, wonderful house, great location to hang out. The house and location are even better than the pictures. Very comfortable, and makes you want to stay and enjoy the grounds and the house, even though Main Street Ashland is just a few short steps away. Everything was walkable for all of us, and we did it daily. Coming back at night and having a place to sit and enjoy and a comfortable made getting together that much better.

Quiet neighborhood but super close to shows and town. I wish we could have stayed longer just to get into the great reading material in this home. We loved sitting on the front porch.

Always a pleasure to stay at the Central Avenue Cottage. Great location for walking to the theatres and restaurants, yet quiet and it is not uncommon to share the sidewalk with deer. The home is always clean, well-supplied, has good WiFi. We stay here often!

This cottage is lovely in every way and in a perfect location. We loved relaxing on the front porch and using the barbecue in the garden area. The living room area is also welcoming, and the kitchen is well-appointed. We all enjoyed good nights of sleep in the comfy beds.
The location makes it easy to walk over to the many restaurants near the festival and to Lithia Park. We're looking forward to returning to this wonderful cottage.

This was our third time staying at this charming comfortable house. The “homey” feel is just perfect for me and my friend! We enjoy cooking our own meals in the fully stocked kitchen with lovely dishes and plenty of cookware and bakeware. The lush garden greenery feels so cozy and private and is visible through many windows. The close vicinity to town and theaters make this home so convenient on many levels!

This cottage is so charming - I've been to Ashland many times, and it was by far my favorite of all the places I've stayed. It is surprisingly spacious, with two very comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms and even a small office nook, which was perfect for my husband. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to cook in. There is a lovely, very private front garden with a table and chairs - it's beautifully landscaped and perfectly maintained. The location is superb - only a couple of blocks to the main street and Lithia Park and a few short blocks to the beloved Coop. Lois was kind enough to leave us some hiking books (I had told her in advance that we would be hiking) and an arrangement of local flowers on the kitchen table. We hated to leave and look forward to coming back soon!

Absolutely charming cottage
The CAC was perfect for our stay. It was beautifully decorated and comfortable. And so close to downtown Ashland theaters and restaurants. It was spotlessly clean and had a great front yard for reading and relaxing. I would definitely stay there again when visiting Ashland.

Nearby jewel
The location is quiet and close to OSF. Beautiful small garden with good seating. Nice layout for couple privacy. Only negative a slight musty smell on entry but soon gone and did not return when closed up.

Exceptional!
What a great stay. Lois was a super hostess — she even brought us her own toaster when we couldn’t find one in the kitchen. The quiet neighborhood and comfy front porch were a big plus. And the air conditioning, of course!

Wonderful visit!
My family (3 adults) stayed in this charming home while visiting my adult son who moved to Ashland a little over a year ago. This home was very comfortable and has a darling outdoor front court yard that was just perfect for our visit. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Lois!

Beautiful, comfortable home.
The owner is fabulous- very accommodating. My mother is disabled so it was important to have a single story home with a walk in shower. The cottage is very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly!
