Ashland Cabin on 170 Acres w/ Mtn Views & Sauna!

Reviews

• 5 stars but a caveat in the summer!!

  5/5

  We booked this property to visit Crater Lake and Mt. Shasta. The check in process was great and Rachel was quick to answer questions and provide details for us. We simply put the code in and walked in.

  The location of the cabin is great for us but could be remote for others but it’s important to realize there are no major cities or high rise hotels here. The drive to the cabin on hwy 66 was fabulous. It’s paved and goes thru the National Monument.

  The cabin was spotless with Rachel’s art for sell that helps raise money for the conservation of the property and animals.

  The beds and sheets were great. The bathroom was a little dated but worked just fine. The cabin was well stocked with coffee, tea, spices and other items not usually found which was nice. The sauna was great and there was a massage table too.

  The mules were shy but sweet and deer came to drink from the pond and birdbath each day.

  There is a loft upstairs that we did not use but it was nice with a futon.

  Now for the caveat. This place is better suited in the winter because there is NO air conditioning. This is covered under the rental and is easily read however the temps in this area are well over 100 many days so be careful booking this in July or August; it’s too hot and the fans do not help.

  We ended up leaving after 2 days because it was 105 and would not cool down. The host would do well to put a wall or floor mini AC unit for comfort. However with this in mind, I would not hesitate to recommend this place

  Let’s start with the good stuff. It’s flat out beautiful. It was clean on arrival and the host left the lights on for us which was nice. You can’t beat the views coming or going. It’s pretty spectacular. There are also lots of coffee to pick from in the cabinets. There are also leftover bathroom needs like tooth brushes in case you forgot. Also host was VERY nice and offered us solar glasses to watch the eclipse!

  Now to the bad stuff. One, it should be very clearly posted that the road going to the cabin is NO JOKE and only very experienced drivers should attempt it. After you leave Ashland it’s a great ten mile ride until you hit the S turns on a mountain side that is straight down, with no guard rail and absolutely no room for error. If you make the slightest mistake you will die. (My boyfriend says I’m exaggerating, but I disagree, as I’m the one who drove it every day for 7 days.) mind you it’s only 7 miles of 66 that is like this, as we drove from the cabin to Crater Lake through Klamath Falls and all was fine.

  Two, when the host tells you they will turn the heat you expect that to be higher than 62°, especially when it’s 49° outside. Seems like common sense, but when you come inside to find notes on the heater that read “if you want warmer burn wood” you immediately get annoyed. Again, something you should know up front. Also if you are requiring wood for warmth, maybe the host should provide more than split logs and ONE Diet Coke box. There is so much more

  Very relaxing stay ! No noise just peace and quiet. Close to Ashland and Jacksonville, both wonderful little towns. Many animals, birds and 2 darling Mules that have been rescued!!! We would stay again !!! ❣️

  5/5

  Upon arriving, I was surprised at how secluded it was. But after getting settled I was at peace with the trees, animals, and clean air that would become my "home" for 5 days. Rachel and her lovely daughter, Zoey, met me and made me feel welcome and offered help whenever I needed. I was sure I would be up and down the hill going into town but instead, found the nearby restaurant with enough good food and essentials to last my stay - along with what I brought from home. The kitchen well stocked and everything needed was right there. No TV?... no problem. No network news is good news. My son and his wife joined me from Portland after a couple days and our only trip to town was on the final day - where we said goodbye to each other and 'Greensprings Wildlife Sanctuary'. Looking forward to a re-visit.

• Easy to reach, secluded, large cabin, comfortable, forested, rural setting..

  4/5

  Checkin/out easy. Owner on land, in separate home, responsive to needs, flexible to family needs. Loved its natural solitude, millions of stars and friendly mules.. A bit short on spoons and smaller pans. But totally workable. Great sauna!
