About this property

Secluded mountain retreat, Ashland 10mi, by Pacific Crest Trail, Swedish sauna
This home is a cozy, quiet, peaceful getaway: close enough to Ashland to be convenient, yet completely surrounded by old conifer forests and mountains. Guests have taken to calling it "hygge," after the Danes.
Features include private covered parking, fully equipped kitchen, large private covered deck overlooking the forest, sun room, Japanese ofuro hot tub, seasonal Swedish wood-fired sauna (October-mid May), and walking trails. If you need a full-size crib and high chair, please let us know. The sun room is like being in a big, glass tree house. Also, an outdoor play structure for children, a long paved drive for bikes, and 38 acres to explore.
Concerns: there are no bear or mountain lions in this neck of the woods, so an evening stroll to watch the sunset is quite safe! We are above the elevations where poison oak grows. And no one has ever gotten a tick on them in these past forty years (we're high up, at 5,000,' and the snow load prevents them from thriving as they do at lower elevations). If an ambulance is needed, it takes them just ten minutes to arrive.
Ashland is a lively and comfortable town. The Shakespeare Festival is renowned for its world-class theater. Restaurants are mind-boggling in how many there are, and how good! Rafting companies offer their usual adventures (in season) on the Rogue River. Noah's River Adventure is conveniently based out of Ashland and has an excellent reputation.
Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from the house brings you through meadows, conifer forests, wildfowers, flowering shrubs, and along ridge tops. Mt Ashland's trails and forest road are easily accessible, great for alpine hiking, becoming well-known for mountain biking, and snows sports and sledding in winter.
Our homestead is a good place to find freedom, peaceful relaxation, exercise and inspiration in the midst of forests, meadows and mountains. Lots of space for children to play freely, and room to roam! Kids love riding their bikes of all sizes on our private paved road, being that there are no cars to watch out for.
Mt Ashland is offering summer day camps for kids of different age groups. Check out their website!
Mountain bikers often use the shuttle services offered by Ashland Mtn Adventures.
Back-country and Nordic skiers will find a great variety of possibilities (in addition to the ridges and bowls behind Mt Ashland) and I'm happy to share these with you, and maps as well. A day trip down to Mt Shasta ski resort and back-country terrain is a good plan too.
The alpine trails behind Mt Ashland are snow-free usually until mid-November and the huge wildflower bloom lasts much of the summer. The views out over all the mountain ranges are magnificent!
The space
The homestead is located on the Siskiyou Summit just south of Ashland. Elevation 5000 ft., making temperatures about 10 degrees cooler than Ashland and the valley and a few degrees warmer than Mt Ashland. The 38 acres of forest (unlogged) are the site of the historic old wagon (and early automobile) road, now our driveway, crossing the summit from Oregon to California. Earlier, since time immemorial, the pass was used by the Shasta, Karuk, Yurok, Takelma and many other tribes. It has been our family home since 1982, and we've been caring for this little piece of the puzzle ever since.
We are part of the bird flyway and our forest is home to hundreds of birds. One sitting on the deck or by the pond will record 20-30 different species! Animals are primarily deer and fox and squirrels. On the property there are three houses (the Log house, the Forest house, and the Pond house), all far enough away from one another to feel private and secluded.
We live permanently on the property with our dog, Kellen, in the Pond House. We enjoy meeting people and will be available if you need anything during your stay. The Forest House will also be rented at times, and has a separate driveway, parking area and entrance with forest in between. The Log House has a key pad entrance so you can check in when we're not home. Many guests like to enjoy a fire in the wood stove on cool evenings. All details for getting here, using the WiFi, house rules, and everything else will be available to you upon booking in a detailed itinerary section.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the Log House, the seasonal sauna, the gazebo, the pond, and the entire property.
Other things to note
If you are bringing a dog, there is a dog deposit of $35 per week. Please bring only dogs who are quiet, friendly with other people and dogs and not dominant. We have a limit of one dog, and no cats please (allergies).
Also, please note that the sauna is readily available during sauna season (October-mid May). It is an additional $25 for the sauna. Let us know ahead of time and we will help you get it fired up. You will be the only users for the day you request.
The EV charger is available on request, with a $10 fee per charge (saving you a trip to town).
