Historic Farm Estate | Countryside Haven | Ashland

We enjoyed the old farm house vibe, but there are a few things that we felt did not justify the cost. The house could use better seating in the living area. The TV was in an awkward position.there was a small couch that possibly 3 or4 people could sit on. Another issue for us was the fact that the beds were on the floor and pushed up against the walls. Made it difficult to get in or out of bed . The microwave and oven could be updated.

Beautiful historic home with plenty of space for large families!

The host is wonderful to work with and timely in responses. We brought a large group to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival - great for young adults and travelers who know each other well as the rooms have multiple beds. Some bathrooms are small, but there are enough to make it work. The Mother-in-Law cottage is lovely. There are several Bohemian style antiques and it was super fun to check out all the artifacts in the house. We had a lovely stay!

We would have liked to have stayed but, immediately after booking, were hit up for additional, undisclosed 150 pet fees, a deposit with vendor fees, and intrusive, third-party verification process requiring IDs, selfies, and off-platform payment despite the listing clearly stating “Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.” When we politely inquired of property manager Jessy, they repeatedly defended this lack of transparency/false advertising by insisting no one had ever questioned before. When a nonrefundable booking affords potential guests no other recourse, this is a coercive practice. We don’t dispute a host’s right to charge fees or use outside platforms, just our right to transparency and Vrbo’s “booking with confidence guarantee.” To be fair, Vrbo refunded their portion of charges as we immediately contacted them and never stayed, but we were ultimately left having to dispute the property manager’s incomplete refund with our credit card and figure something else out last minute, which notably provided full transparency and no additional fees or information. Continuing to argue this was standard practice/required of Vrbo while pointing to others’ acquiescence as justification, Jessy took no point of feedback to simply amend the listing to divulge all required processes, fees, and charges as it should and indicated it had.

It met our needs for a place 9 people could sleep comfortably
