We have spent several visits in Ashland, and cannot wait to return. The town is beautiful, and you feel safe. Cutlure abounds, and the setting is simply gorgeous. And Lithia park is one of the real gems of town parks in the country. The (very good) community band plays weekly at the band shell in the park during the summer. Their July 4th ...
I have actually stayed here many times since I drive to Seattle often, this is a halfway point. Even though the rooms are filthy and I am afraid to touch the bed cover, the bathroom or walk barefooted, I have come back, mainly because it is the only place I have stayed (bad habit). I will not be back after the staff took my watch when they ...

As a native to Ashland I have watched many changes over my twenty three years; some of the changes have been good and some not so good. Through out however,there have been some things that remain the same for example; the august thunder-showers and power-outages, the color of the leaves in the fall in Lithia Park, the Halloween, 4th of july and ...

I spent a very pleasant weekend in Ashland during the Shakespeare Festival. Ashland has a very charming little downtown that is situated on a creek and has a lovely wooded park that is great for relaxing and strolling.

The place itself is beautiful and a great walking town.
Plays are taken seriously. Discussions. And you don't get in the door if you are late. Hooray Hooooray!! Starts on time too.
The hills can be rough on some of the older members of the family. The weather can be uncertain. Most of the restaurants are good, but somewhat expensive. ...
