Oak Hill Bed & Breakfast

Oak Hill B and B is simply perfect. Kind and helpful host and hostess, attention to every detail and so comfortable and welcoming. My room was large and with a view of the hills. The breakfasts were a foodies delight and I enjoyed family art throughout the home. It is located close to town in a quiet leafy area. Pat and Tom live connected to the B+B so you can ask them anything. They are so very gracious and it is clear that they love people and want you to be happy. Individual room temps and gas fireplaces and a large living room with fresh goodies every pm and current magazines to enjoy. Bravo. I loved it.

This was the last of the B & Bs we stayed in during our honeymoon. The trip involved a lot of wine and Kleenex — because we both caught colds, not because spending a week alone together drove us to constant tears — and we were both quite tired and ready to be homeward bound by the time we rolled into Oak Hill Bed and Breakfast. Maybe I’ll start referring to it as our Wineymoon.
Lucky for us, there were no problems upon check-​in or check-​out. One of the owners, Pat, met us at the door and cheerily showed us around the lobby and dining area before leading us to our room. We had rented the Lilac Room, which has a single king-​sized bed, a pretty awesome electric fireplace, and a spacious bathroom with a shower and no tub. As I mentioned before, the lack of a bathtub was not a problem for me at that point in our Wineymoon. We were both exhausted enough that we probably would have passed out and drowned in a tub, but if taking long relaxing baths is your vacation jam, then be advised that this room doesn’t have that feature.
Bed had a simple white sheet as a canopy. It wasn’t the most comfortable one I had slept in during the trip, but I also suspect wine had something to do with that issue. Story of my life.
The highlight was by far the breakfast portion of the stay. Pat pointed out her intended menu, but I think they allow for special requests if you ask about them with enough time. We had loads of good hot coffee, fruit, potato latkes, and paninis with eggs and bacon. It was all very good and we were too stuffed to finish it all. Tom, the other owner, came by the table and he, Pat, J-​Bob, and I ended up just talking for about an hour while watching the finches in the yard. J-​Bob and I excused ourselves after breakfast but promised to say goodbye before heading back to Portland, but our paths didn’t cross again. Belated farewell and thank you for the hospitality, Pat and Tom!
It’s not right in the heart of downtown Ashland, but it’s only about a mile away and a lovely place to stay. They even provide you blankets and coats to use during the outdoor plays during the Shakespeare Festival, which is a thoughtful touch. Come for your Wineymoon, whatever that may be!

Before you negate this place because you have to drive a mile, here’s what you get in return:
