Charming Stay in Ashland with a Few Bumps at the Start
We really enjoyed our stay in Ashland. The house was clean and had some thoughtful, unique touches—like the coin-inlaid bathroom floor, a well-equipped kitchen with filtered water, and a beautiful dining table that was perfect for board games with the family.We did hit a few snags early on. The electronic keypad was overly sensitive, and after three failed attempts to get in, our anxiety was high. Clearer, step-by-step instructions would help a lot. Once we figured it out, it worked fine the rest of the trip.We were also surprised there wasn’t a welcome sheet with WiFi info, house rules, or check-out instructions. I had to contact the host and wait several hours just to get online. Later, two cats showed up at the kitchen door—friendly, but unexpected. A note explaining their presence and feeding needs would’ve been helpful.There were helpful labels around the house, but my wife struggled to turn the shower on. I figured it out thanks to past experience, but others might not think to check beneath the spout.The location was a big plus—we could walk to the grocery store and theater, which made exploring Ashland super convenient.Overall, with just a few improvements to communication and instructions, this would be a near-perfect rental. We'd happily return.
