A Visual Delight in a Perfect Location

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and delighted in this amazing, colorful house. The hosts were outside in the yard to greet us, and answered any questions. We enjoyed how artistically every inch of the house was decorated, and the location was perfect for walking downtown. Info and photos are accurate, but it was better than expected!

A magical escape…

John and Mori have created a home that rather belongs in Oz or the other side of the looking glass. Every corner of the property has been considered with the hosts creative eyes and gifted skills. It is as fun to stay in as it looks in the photos. We loved it so much we hope one day soon to call John and Mori neighbors.

Comfy and Convenient

So large with fascinating colors and textures. The owners are artists and the home reflects that. The huge bed room is upstairs with the bath downstairs. The stairs are wide and gentle and well lit with nite lites. If there is a draw back it would be the shared common wall downstairs with the main house. Great stay ,great location, groceries one block, gym 2 blocks , downtown 3 blocks and great hosts!

Centrally located, lovingly decorated house

I just reviewed this house in December of 2020, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to return here two months later. Not only is the place centrally located, but it is well-maintained by its owners, who are respond right away to any questions or issues. The house is also quite lovely inside--carefully decorated. The space is great for one person or a couple, but it does have a sofa bed downstairs as well. My only caveats are that the bathroom is downstairs while the bedroom (spacious) loft is upstairs--although on very well-built stairs which created no problem for my 64-year-old self; and the light does come strongly through in the bedroom on nice days, so probably not ideal for those who sleep in. But I have returned, and will probably return again.

Cozy and Vibrant, Centrally-Located Stay

The appeal of this house is both its central location and the obvious care and love that the owners have put into it. It was lovely to stay in a place with such beautiful tiling and detail work. And, despite its many intriguing tchtochkes, the place is very clean and dust-free. Also great is the fact that everything totally reflects the description on VRBO. We were pleased, as well, by the quick response of the owners to any questions as well as by the many high-quality amenities that the place offers, particularly cookware. Light sleepers might keep in mind that one of the bedroom loft windows has no shade; those who are planning to spend many daytime hours at the place (as we did, since it was wintertime and COVID-time) should note that one can quite easily hear phone conversations in the owner's side of the house. Those who, like me, are over 60, might keep in mind that the bedside lighting in the loft is somewhat dim--although the lamps themselves are gorgeous. Overall, though, this is a delightful place for two people--a place to which we hope to return.

Convenient to OSF

It was nice to be close enough to all the amenities of OSF that we didn't have to drive at all while we were in town. It was too chilly to enjoy the front porch, but I think it would have been the perfect location to sit and enjoy the sunshine.

Reunion site for old friends.

I was fortunate to find this place for a reunion of old friends of ours that we knew 40 years ago when we worked at same overseas location. It was perfect for our get together. Close to restaurants and coffee shops .What an interesting place to hang out with old friends. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Uniquely beautiful and charming

The Artisan House was a wonderful place to be and to have as a home-base during our stay in Ashland. It is artfully painted and decorated, and well appointed with amenities and appliances. The kitchen, dining and living area downstairs is quite comfortable, and the loft bedroom upstairs is spacious. Just 3 blocks from downtown and 1 block from the natural foods coop and coffee shops. It was perfect for our time in in this charming town.

About the host

Hosted by Mori and John Garloff

John is from California originally and I grew up in Chicago. We are both artists and live on the premise in our own private space between our studios. John and I have lived in Ashland for 27 years. First in the mountains above town and for 20 years in this beautiful home. Our sons are grown and we would like to share our available space with travelers. Our home is in the heart of the flats known as the Railroad District and has been said to have been a brothel and laundry house in days gone by. There is everything you may need to make your stay comfortable and memorable.

Why they chose this property

After living in the mountains 32 miles from town, down an eight mile dirt road, and off power, John and I decided to move our family down to town. It was time for us to socialize with young families such as our own, get active in our community, and experience town life. For 2 city slickers that grew up in large cities, Ashland is quaint, friendly and small. The cows moo in the outskirts of town and it is as picturesque as any calendar! It's a total European feel and we are both first generation American.

What makes this property unique

We have lived in what is now your living space so we know it was set up and furnished just the way we would like things. We love our home and it brings us joy to share it. We both love to travel and we have the home set up as we would like our stays. The sleeping accommodations are comfortable because we know a good nights sleep is essential. It is wonderful to have everything in close proximity including OSF, Ashland food co op, library, post office, parks, swimming holes, hikes, hardware store, galleries, and restaurants.
