Great Choice!

This is a great spot for 2 couples visiting Ashland for the OSF because each of the 2 bedrooms has an ensuite bathroom (one just also opens to the hallway). It's an easy walk to all the downtown restaurants and the theaters. And don't forget to check out the Cabaret Theater, just a couple of blocks from the OSF theaters. The productions are top notch and and a nice variety. Sugar has done a marvelous job of setting up and stocking this cozy cottage. We had everything we needed and Sugar was right there if we had questions...though we didn't. We highly recommend this cottage.

Delightful stay!

We traveled to Ashland with another couple who are close friends. It was wonderful to share the living room and kitchen spaces together while having separate bedrooms and bathrooms to use. The outside sitting areas were also very inviting and gave us plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen as well supplied. The keyless entry was easy to use and convenient. I can’t think of anything I would want to change.

Cozy, comfy spot walking distance to plays!

This cozy cottage has all the amenities you need to relax after enjoying taking in the shows, shops and sites of Ashland. Short walk to Oregon Shakespeare Festival, restaurants, shops. The beds are super comfy. Bedroom arrangements and 2 full bathrooms make it great for multiple couples, several adults, or a family w teens who want their own space to chill. Host is very easy to contact. We love this cottage and think you will, too.

Great place!

What a great place! Perfect amount of space for our family of 4 for our first visit to Ashland. A 5-minute walk to the theatre festival and pretty much anything downtown. So convenient! The cottage itself was impeccably clean and cute with everything we needed. Sugar was extremely responsive and lovely before and during our stay. Would definitely come back!

second time around

Returned to the cottage after a magnificent stay last year, and was not at all disappointed. The place is always immaculate, the kitchen well-equipped. The cottage is perfectly situated for hikes in Lithia Park, walks in the railroad district, proximity to the co-op, and of course the theater. We look forward to a return visit next year.

Nice Place

The property is charming and in a great location which allows walking access to downtown Ashland. The twin beds are on the small side so not really great for adults. The home also had a bit of a mothball odor.

Second Stay @ 2nd Street Cottages

This was my second stay at this property. Both times have been perfect. The cottage is immaculately clean and well appointed, within walking distance to downtown and just works perfectly. One of the best selling points for this property is the PARKING! Sugar is a delightful host and makes sure you have everything you need.

About the host

Hosted by Sugar Mejia

I look forward to welcoming you to Ashland. I have lived in small towns, big cities and in several different parts of the country -- Ashland is the best of all! Small town charm with big city sophistication, world-class theatre, restaurants, shopping and a backdrop of magnificent mountains and beauty everywhere! Hiking, skiing, river rafting, wine tours, beer tastings, great coffee, interesting foods...there is something for everyone here in the Rogue Valley!

Why they chose this property

Second Street Cottages is ideally located if you are looking forward to enjoying short walks to wonderful restaurants, world-class theatre, fabulous shopping, unique art, great coffee houses, exciting nightlife, wine tasting rooms, Lithia Park and more (all within one to three blocks of the house). Described as a “year-round paradise,” Ashland draws visitors from around the world during all of its magnificent four seasons. This location is the perfect "home base" -- within minutes of downtown there is world class white water rafting, kayaking and fishing, mountain biking, hiking, birding, golfing, skiing, snowshoeing, and Creek to Crest and Pacific Crest Trails. Ashland has become a popular destination for wedding and annual family reunion location with an international airport less than 20 minutes away in Medford, OR. Both units on this property can be rented (depending upon availability) and will accommodate up to 13 guests.

What makes this property unique

Guests love the quiet location combined with closeness to town and theaters. With porches and patios, there are places outside and indoors to gather -- or have quiet time to yourself. Short walk to everything -- comfortable, clean and beautifully appointed.
