Ashland’s Whistle Stop – In the heart of the Center Of The Universe
Come and enjoy this beautifully remodeled and quaintly decorated 3-bedroom 2.5-bathroom home that will enfold you in the look and feel of the Town of Ashland. Come and enjoy the custom décor that celebrates all that Ashland has to offer, such as the Train Room, the Randolph Macon inspired bedroom, and the Center of the Universe Billiards Room.
Located just blocks from Downtown Ashland and Randolph Macon College – choose your mode of getting around – many attractions are walkable such as the YMCA or Town Pool. If you prefer biking, there are many quiet, safe, tree-lined streets that end up at the center of town where there are many restaurants and shops. Catch a movie at the recently renovated Ashland Theater then stop in one of the local eateries for live music and a cold beverage.
Community events like street parties, fun runs, bicycle rides, Holiday parades, the Strawberry Fair and of course, the Biennial Ashland Musical Variety Show as well as Randolph Macon College sports and campus events help make Ashland a very lively, fun, and friendly place to be.
This home has everything you will need or want to unwind for a weekend away or to enjoy an extended stay for several couples or an entire family. This home sleeps 6 adults or 4 adults and 4 children.
The Space:
The open floor plan has a rec. room with a full-sized Brunswick pool table; a cozy living room; a spacious kitchen layout with lots of cabinets, counter space, a breakfast bar and a large coffee bar; the dining room has seating for at least six – the separate laundry room has a full-sized washer and dryer.
You will definitely want to dine out with so many local restaurants in walking distance, but should you need, the kitchen is fully stocked and includes an electric stove, microwave, toaster, Ninja blender, rice cooker, large refrigerator, full-sized dishwasher, electric kettle, and Keurig dual coffee maker.
The Primary bedroom features a luxurious King bed, seating area, walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom.

The Bunk Room has two full sized beds arranged in an over/under layout.
There are 40-inch “Smart TV’s” in all bedrooms and a 50-inch “Smart TV” in the family room all with Roku streaming capabilities.
The quiet back porch is the best place for morning coffee as well as for enjoying cool summer breezes in the shade of the tree filled back yard.

Center of the Universe
We planned on staying in Ashland while visiting my sister nearby. The property was as advertised with pristine themed rooms. All of the beds were extremely comfortable and allowed for maximum relaxation. The host recommended a local eatery "The Caboose" approximately 7 minutes away and it was just as awesome as the residence. Definitely staying again when I visit Virgina!

This is truly one of the best places we've stayed. I can't say enough good things about James and the property. It was perfect for our needs. It truly is what you should expect from a host and property. Everything was as described and it was like we were at home. James' communications is on point and he is very responsive. Being from the area, we have found our home away from home when we are back!

Great place to relax and unwind. Very user friendly and room for everyone to have their own space, but also able to have time together. Worked great for us and felt like home. Easy to walk into the center of town.
James was great and responded quickly to a small issue we encountered even though it was getting late.
Will definitely consider staying again.

Fine house in nice neighborhood, close to everything
Very spacious, bedrooms were cozy and decorated very nicely. They had plenty of equipment in the kitchen to use to cook full meals and everyone enjoyed the pool table. It was nice to have a washer and dryer and we had more than enough clean linens and paper products. The oven appeared to have an issue with the controls, but were able to get around that and use it. It was nice to have the outdoor seating area and listen to the train.

Comfortable, Clean and Convenient Ashland Home
This property was about as good as a vacation rental gets. Sadly, we were in town for a family funeral, so the potential to feel stressed and emotional was high. Thankfully the house was pretty much perfect and provided us with a very comfortable place to retreat between events and gatherings.
I loved all of the Ashland decor, and we found everything we needed at the house during our stay. We even walked downtown for dinner one evening. Thanks for a truly homey place to land during a tough time.
