About this property

Ashland Escape: Downtown & Pet Friendly

A few short blocks to Ashland Plaza, Helman House boasts two large bedrooms, a king-size bed downstairs and two queens upstairs, two full baths, and a basic kitchen for light & simple meal preparation. Enjoy the bright kitchen nook for your sunny morning coffee or a long soak in the cast iron clawfoot tub that will spoil you with the charm of Old Ashland.

Convenient to the many theaters—including the world-renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival, boutique shops, award-winning wineries, and restaurants Ashland is famous for, Helman House is a home away from home for visitors eager to experience all Southern Oregon has to offer.

Two studio cottages are available separately behind the house off the brick terrace parking, making Helman House perfect for a multi-party getaway.

Great Location, Beautiful House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Helman House. It's located less than a five or ten minute walk to downtown Ashland (theaters, restaurants and great shopping) and beautiful Lithia Park.Besides the great location, you will enjoy the luxurious bedding and comfortable beds! The adorable front porch with table set and rocking Adirondack chairs are perfect to sit, relax, and enjoy the quiet neighborhood. We appreciated the private, off the street parking spot.We enjoyed the different areas of the house to join together to eat, relax, talk and/or play games.The bathrooms were well stocked and there was plenty of hot water for all four of us to shower each day. Extra bedding was easily available and the washer and dryer were very convenient! The house was clean and orderly and very comfortable.Sylvie is an excellent host - she responded very quickly to any questions we had before and during our stay! We will definitely stay at Helman House again!

What a great place to stay in Ashland- the location is ideal-you can park the car off street and walk to restaurants, the food Coop and of, course the theatres! The kitchen is adequately supplied, bedrooms and baths nice and clean.

Great location and great host.

Sylvie was a proactive host, she checked in with us the first morning to see if we had everything we needed. She even brought a jigsaw puzzle over for me to do during our weekend stay.
