Charming 4-Bedroom steps from Ashland University

Welcome to the 1901! Enjoy a stay in this grand colonial revival home located just steps from the Ashland University Campus, Freer Field, and minutes from downtown Ashland. This home is prided to be the first home to ever be moved in Ashland (on logs!) in 1932 after being built in 1901, hence the name!

The house:
With hardwood floors, 15 ft ceilings, crown molding, and a sprawling porch, the 1901 retains its 1900’s charm. Once you cross the entryway, a full living room sits to your left with a large couch, Roku tv, and small dining space. To your right, a dining room holds a table long enough to fit 6 comfortably. Beyond that a small sunroom holds a few plush chairs where coffee or reading can be enjoyed. Moving to the back of the house, a full kitchen holds all the amenities you may need, coffee bar included! Back at the front of the house, if you look straight ahead, you will see the beautiful wood staircase that takes you upstairs to four bedrooms and one full bathroom. Here, a total of 10 adults can comfortably sleep. Two bedrooms feature a king bed, one bedroom holds a queen bed, and one is home to two sets of bunk beds. An additional full bathroom, closet and laundry room are located in the basement. (Note: there is no bathroom located on the main floor) The sprawling porch provides ample space to enjoy the view of the neighborhood and Freer Field. The private fully fenced backyard includes a small dining area and lighting to enjoy those nice summer evenings.

Guest Access:
There is parking available to the guest including a two-car garage, driveway and plenty of street parking in front of the house. The front door is accessible with an access code that will be given at the time of booking.

Things to note:
This home is family friendly and baby friendly. It is currently not handicap accessible or pet friendly.

Cool, Comfy and oh so close. A great property that oozes character. Classic architectural features that you rarely see in a VRBO.Good size kitchen, large rooms and high ceilings add to the expereince.Plus the only way to stay closer to Ashland U is to matriculate.

Visit to Ashland

the renovated historic home was super spacious and light filled. the A/C was great - especially considering it was a heat wave when we were in town, plus plenty of hot shower water. home easily slept 10 with 4 big bedrooms. wish 2nd bath was on main floor instead of basement, but to be expected in a historic home. super close to Ashland University and would be a great place to stay for Balloon Fest which is at the park next door. we didn't cook much, but kitchen seemed to have what would be needed.
