Really enjoyed our stay here. The place is .4 of a mile from the theaters on a mostly flat walk; we got lazy and drove into town a couple of days because it was pretty warm out. Ashland parking is pretty easy so it's not a big deal. Our room was good (a little dark, as Alex mentioned on his review, but very big, with a big bathroom, a comfortable mattress, nice sheets). It's nice to have a private entrance, and the porch was convenient when Roger the extremely friendly poofball kitty decided to visit us. (Don't worry, he's not allowed in the rooms.) The owners, Ronna & Corren, are our kind of people; we've dithered over doing hotel vs. B&B because B&B owners can be kind of, uh, obsessed with rules, but these guys are the total opposite of that. Not that we gave them any trouble, of course, but you know how sometimes you go to a B&B and the first thing you get is a 15-minute lecture on what not to touch...? Not an issue here at all. Minor ding: Free wireless internet is promised but it's sporadic towards the edge of the property where our room was; I hate when that happens. We'd stay here again. Friendly sans fascist goes a hell of a long way in this biz. read more

Shrew's House Bed & Breakfast - The owners' extremely fluffy, extremely nice kitty. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

I love breakfast. I wish I had time to eat a nice big breakfast every day. In my daily hustle and bustle, it's a matter of grabbing something on the go. But when I am on vacation, I like a nice, big, tasty breakfast. Like the ones served at the Shrew's House. Fresh fruit, granola, gourmet sausages ... all just the beginning. Their breakfast creations are unique and delicious. Since everything is made from scratch they can accommodate most dietary needs, just let them know. And it's not just a great breakfast. Each room is unique and well laid out. We stayed in "The Ashland". I took full advantage of the claw-footed soaking tub in our bathroom, while my son curled up in the recliner and watched TV (yeup, there's cable TV with no annoying hotel channels to skip over). The bed was comfy and there were plenty of pillows. My son thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the pool. (Not big - but plenty big enough to get wet!) You really get the B&B feel with a touch of hominess, too. Every room also has a private, direct-dial phone. You get an off-street parking spot. And finally, each room has a private entrance with a patio - a great place to sit, enjoy the fresh air, and unwind. read more

See all

Loved our stay at the Shrews House. The room(The Baroque) is lovely, spacious and the down filled cushions on the two side chairs were so comfortable...as we had to sit down in the cool air conditioning after unloading the car! You see, we chose the absolutely HOTTEST night to visit, 106 degrees! We had tickets to "The Tempest" at 8PM and while we were looking forward to a leisurely walk, we ended up taking the car because of the heat. After the show we retired to the most comfortable bed, fitted with the most luxurious bedding and down pillows...I wanted to just sleep and sleep. Our breakfast the next morning was delicious and we had the best conversation with our server, Kayla, who filled us in on Bruce's adventures and the local news. I realize that the garden is at the end of its bloom but I could see how magnificent it was at its height. This little house and cottage is perfect in every way! We can't wait to visit again, Thank you Cathy and Denny (Sunnyvale, Ca) read more

What a spectacular treat! We were driving through Ashland, looking for a place for the night (with no reservations anywhere - an impromptu trip!) We looked through every "LGBT-friendly" guide we could find, and none of the places listed answered their phones. Nervous about being in Southern Oregon and not knowing the environment, we tentatively stepped into Shrew's House because they had a "vacancy" sign posted. We were greeted warmly by Corren and Ronna, given a choice of several rooms, and immediately felt at ease and embraced by these wonderful hosts. Within a few minutes, I felt like I was talking with family. The rate was really reasonable, and breakfast - BREAKFAST??!! That was like something out of a dream. A dream about eating. A dream about eating a LOT OF FOOD. :-) I would go back to Shrew's House any time, and will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you Corren and Ronna! read more

New owner, Bruce Hall, has updated a wonderful place to stay in Ashland that's walking distance to downtown. This B&B currently has 4 rooms and all have separate entrances. The rooms are beautifully decorated. All include mini-fridge, microwave, coffee-maker, and even kitchenware. Bathrooms are spacious and include toiletries. Besides serving a light continental breakfast in the main house, Bruce will fill you up with interesting stories from his many prior careers. He is a very friendly and hospitable host. We go to Ashalnd regularly, for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and we will make this our 1st choice for places to stay. read more

We had a very nice stay at Shrew's House. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. We stayed in the Baroque room which was almost perfect with a very comfortable king-sized bed, a fireplace, and large bathroom with hot-tub and bubble bath soaps. There is a private entrance and a nice porch with a cute table and chair set. Ronna and Corren are absolutely splendid hosts; perhaps the most friendly and considerate B&B hosts I have ever met. Their positive natures, acceptance of all points of view, and willingness to make your visit a good one are all wonderful. Oh,and their cat Roger is one of the most friendly cats you will ever meet. Only minor down-sides to this B&B which is located right on Siskiyou Blvd about a 10minute walk from everything. Their is a mini-fridge in the Baroque room and it is located fairly near the bed. Am I the only one who finds listening to a fridge in the bedroom annoying? Other nit pick - the room was bit dark. Even when the sun was at it's peak, the room just would not light up. The breakfasts were very good - I especially loved the fruit and granola that they put together... I wish I could have that every morning! Price: very affordable for a B&B in Ahsland. The house has a small pool and very nice grounds. Overall, a fantastic place to stay in Ashland. Highly recommended. read more

Yes...I am biased because I know the owners but... in my personal opinion... I stayed here for 2 nights whilst helping their daughter move up because she is one of my best friends! I couldn't believe all the beautiful themed rooms and all the attention to detail. I stayed in the "Kates" room. Lots of pillows. a clean bathroom, and a beautiful view of the garden and access to the patio in back and the pool. The breakfast was delicious! Corrin the chef does a wonderful job of using only the finest ingredients and its usually all organic ingredients. Also~ they are planting a veggie garden in the back. Its very cozy in the dinning room and it feels like your eating in someones home. The Shrews house is close to down town, and there is a safeway across the street incase you have any craving in the middle of the night. ;) read more

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon for a couple nights, and wished we could stay longer! Corrin and Ronna are just wonderful people. We stayed in the Ashland room, and it was perfect. Corrin makes a delicious breakfast and they have great tips for what to explore in and around Ashland. We highly recommend the Shrew's House, and will continue to stay there when we are in town. read more

Had a great time, good breakfasts. The owners were really friendly and sat and chatted during breakfast. Loved having the pool also. Our room was the Garden room it was nice w/ a sink, mini fridge and microwave. It also had a whirlpool tub in the room that I used everyday. There is a back alley right behind the b&b that goes all the way up to the theaters if you don't wanna walk along the main street. read more

very welcoming host, Rony. thank you. The breakfast was very good and organic. but our barocco rom was not smelling good inside. and all the amenities are kind of all and not quite clean, we had the impression. the pool was not quite clean either, it didn't look appealing for us. read more

We had a great three days at The Shrew's House. We were in The Ashland room and it was perfect. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were soft cotton with lace edges. We used the pool to cool off in the late afternoon before heading out to dinner. Ronna and Corrin are smart, funny and gracious hosts. They know a lot about the plays and the company and enjoy discussing them; we loved our chats with them over coffee after breakfast. The room was very clean and private and we enjoyed the porch seating since we have different sleep schedules. We liked the walk to and from the theater and restaurants: it gave us a chance to stretch our legs after sitting through a play! read more

The three of us, my partner, my mother and myself have just returned from four nights in Ashland at Shrew's House B&B. It is truly one of the best buys, and best B&Bs that Ashland has to offer. The rooms, beds, baths and linens were very comfortable and super clean. Our king sized bed had extremely soft linens and a down comforter. The front of the house sits on Siskiyou Boulevard, less than a half mile from the theatre, but the rooms and small pool are all toward the back, and we did not hear any traffic whatsoever during the night. It was absolutely silent. Owner Corren fixes a sumptuous breakfast every morning that starts with mixed fruit and yogurt, then a different egg dish each day: One day a feta and egg omelet with scones, another day a delicious bread pudding with egg, along with coffee, tea, orange juice and oatmeal if you prefer. The living area of the main house, open to guests, boasts a well appointed living room of plush chairs and sofas. Hosts Corren and Ronna can also converse fluently in all of the plays at the Shakespeare Festival. They make a point of seeing them all, some of them several times, and are great to compare notes with regarding the productions. They are also authorities on the larger Rogue Valley area, and can provide directions for wonderful day trips. Right across the street is the Safeway market if you lack for anything, but we never needed to visit. My only hesitation in writing such a great review is that more satisfied guests will flock to Shrew's House, making it more difficult for us to make a reservation again soon! P.S. While in Ashland visit Amuse Restaurant located in the heart of downtown. The best food in the city. read more
