Stayed for a night during a road trip; couldn't have picked a better spot. James took remarkable care of us; showing us the property, the generous amenities, and preparing an incredible breakfast spread for us before continuing on our journey . It was so fun exchanging stories and commonalities over such a beautifully-presented spread. We enjoyed a warm banana nut muffin and fresh fruit with mint garnish straight from the garden over a delicious yogurt before being served the best waffles I ever had (and James Beard would agree). We stayed in the Heritage Oak room and thoroughly enjoyed the balcony space as well as the cleanliness and coziness of the room. Highly recommend enjoying the common spaces - such as the library and living room. The place is rich in history and in heart. We'll be back! read more

Stayed here on a mini vacation in May. Very charming, cozy and quiet, and a few minutes walk from downtown. I booked the Crater Lake room on the third floor, which was gorgeous and super comfortable. Breakfast was great, three courses of freshly prepared food with juice, tea, coffee. Would recommend staying here if you come to Jacksonville. read more

Lovely old mansion with comfortable beds, great and friendly service, clean, quaint, cozy and an all around delightful place to be. Beautiful old oak trees and gardens. It was quiet and peaceful. Loved the amazingly delicious breakfasts that James served - along with the conversation. We looked forward to our mornings. The location was perfect. Downtown Jacksonville and all the shops and restaurants were an easy walk away. I highly recommend!! read more

Always a great experience! James was the perfect host and a great chef for our breakfasts. We love the property with the gardens and the pool at siesta to lounge. Highly recommend you check it out when going to a Britt concert (only 2 blocks away) or taking in something at the Shakespeare festival. The apple gate wine county is just around the corner too! read more

5 Stars! Had a wonderful visit at the Touvelle House. Fabulous food and accomodations. Highly reccommend and look forward to a return visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We booked a room to have as a relaxing & comfortable place to rest after a 10 hour drive for our roadtrip we were on & we were not disappointed. Coupled with the charm of the old estate there was a delicious breakfast served the morning of our departure & the bed was to die for. James was a fantastic host & the grounds were beautiful. I highly recommend. read more

Touvelle House - Our view from the room. - Hotels Near Me - Jacksonville, Oregon

If I could do 10 star I would. The owners are amazing every morning. The three course breakfast was unbelievable. The grounds and the home is just breathtaking. Clean comfortable and everything you want. Within walking distance to the downtown, which is absolutely adorable with a bread festival that we went to and little shops and great restaurants. A lot of history and culture in the town right next to the bit of references a very old cemetery. Only in that has a pool, plenty of lounge chairs to sit out and relax again we could not want for anything else. We did a jet boat ride, which was amazing down the river Again, you will not be disappointed if you book here 10 star review from me. read more

First time at TouVelle House. Exceeded our high expectations from furnishings to location and the food and hospitality are amazing. read more

Such a beautiful, well-kept house with history, but it comes with pool with a hammock, sauna, and hot tub. It's hidden a bit away from Main St, so it's very quiet. Definitely will revisit when I'm in town. The host/service was exceptional - I was celebrating my anniversary and the host provided delicious cake, champagne, and charcuterie that my husband and I loved. read more

Rooms are super comfortable. I normally sleep around 6 hours a night. I slept 8 hours here. The owners are amazing people and make you feel at home. Better wear loose pants. The breakfasts are to die for. Definitely Gourmet style. The grounds are gorgeous. If you love photography, you will not be disappointed. This is a not-to-be-missed destination!!!! read more

Jacksonville is a delightful town and Touvelle House is an even more delightful B&B. Host James is great and his breakfasts are amazing. You will definitely enjoy your stay here. read more

A relaxing stopover on our way from Sonoma to Eugene Touvelle House's hospitality was impeccable Every detail was thoughtfully considered Breakfast was amazing- fresh juice and mini muffins, yogurt and fruit, waffles ala James Beard with real maple syrup Our rooms and bed were very comfortable with down bed topping and pillows, a view of the pool from our adjoining sitting room A large bathroom and shower All amenities were top tier including tissues, soaps and lotion And while a very serene setting, we were so convenient to town We will return for a longer stay in the future with friends and family read more

Wonderful stay in an old historic home within easy walking distance from center of town and Britt Garden. It's on a nice quiet side street in a pretty area and the gardens around the house were a nice place to relax in between wandering around town. Our host was able to accommodate our dietary restrictions with some amazing breakfasts.Will probably stay there again as we enjoyed Jacksonville. Mike and Sandy read more

Was there for 2 nights along with a lot of our family, we had the entire house. Yes, James and Kristen do an amazing job and the building is wonderful. I am still remember the quiche we had on the first morning OMG! It was one the best I've ever had. The beds were super comfy! Would definitely go back! Recommendations: If you have dietary restrictions be sure to let them know ahead of time so they can accommodate. This is an old building so the stair treads are higher then newer buildings so if you have any trouble climbing stairs this may not be the place. Do plan on having breakfasts! This very close to downtown Jacksonville. The living room is huge with lots of places to hang out in front of the fireplace and has a real old world feel to it. Enjoy! read more

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful place. The breakfast's are so delicious and the presentation makes you feel like royalty. The bedrooms are so comfortable with everything you could need. We loved having a pool to cool off in on the hot afternoons. You are so close to downtown Jacksonville and all the cute shops and restaurants. It is a perfect spot and I can't wait to come back and visit again very soon. Thanks Jamie and Kristin, for all the memories! read more

Charming historic home repurposed with care into a bed-and-breakfast. A set back into a better time, with a great shared social room downstairs and a wonderful host. read more

Exceptional B&B! If you are thinking of staying in Ashland, stay here instead. The house and grounds are beautiful -- a fireplace in the main room to hang out, a library, excellent selection of tea, cookies, coffee. My room (Rouge River) was just amazing. It had a beautiful claw foot tub with original hardwood floors and views of a gorgeous pink & white flowering tree overlooking the grounds -- the whole experience was perfect from start-to-finish. James is an amazing host & chef -- breakfasts were the quality of a high-end brunch spot all included in the stay. Can't wait to come back! read more

Wow, what a wonderful surprise! The Touvelle House is on the top of our Jacksonville list of places to stay, when we return. The owners James and Kristin were so welcoming, and made us feel right at home. We typically stay in hotels - this was our very first B&B, and it was a fabulous experience for us! Our room was very comfortable and pleasant. The house is beautiful both interior and exterior, with gorgeous grounds, an abundance of deer and turkey. We enjoyed having our wine and sitting by the pool. The hospitality was a 10! The breakfast served in the mornings is NAPA valley style, so scrumptious, top notch! We left so very satisfied and wanting more! Hats off to James and Kristin for bringing a five star bed-and-breakfast to Jacksonville Oregon! We look forward to returning soon:) read more

Hidden gem. Absolutely lovely spot - beautiful, very clean, comfy beds, right off town but quiet. James and Kristen are incredible hosts. Breakfast is as good as any high end brunch spot in San Francisco or New York. Highly highly recommended! read more

Time travel back into historic Jacksonville with exceptional hospitality. The house is beautiful and the extensive grounds invite in the local wildlife. We just parked the car and for the weekend, strolled placidly, and enjoyed the Decembrists on the lawn. The Britt concert venue is a Southern Oregon hidden gem with an impressive lineup of artists. read more

Touvelle House - Hotels Near Me - Jacksonville, Oregon

This is my favorite place of all the hotels and b&bs I've stayed in, in my life. The building is lovely and peaceful, and really well decorated with beautiful craftsman furniture and art. There were good books to read, homemade cookies and an all day tea station. I enjoyed sitting in rocking chairs on the porch smelling wood smoke from houses in the valley while drinking tea as the sun went down, and drinking more tea in feel leather chairs by the fire after a day of hiking. The room I stayed in was also lovely and calming with big windows, trees, and sunlight. The food was delicious and I don't even really like breakfast normally. I would drive to Jacksonville for no other reason than to stay here again. We stayed here on one of the last weekends they were open, and had already made plans to come back when we found out they were closing! I hope they reopen. read more

I stayed this past weekend and it was absolutely wonderful! We had an amazing breakfast every morning cooked by chef James. We swam in the salt water pool which was so refreshing. They also have a hot tub and a sauna. The house is beautiful. Once you park your car you can walk everywhere in the quaint town of Jacksonville. I can't wait to return! read more

Wonderful historic house ~ beautiful accommodations that included a saltwater swimming pool, hot tub and sauna, extremely friendly hosts and a gourmet breakfast every morning served by the owners ~ best eggs Benedict I've ever had ~ truly delightful stay ~ definitely recommend!! read more

Jamie and Shawn are the best! The house is beautiful and so nicely done. Everything about it is cool and really neat to see the history of it too. The breakfast is 5 stars hands down. read more

Touvelle House was a lovely spot of refuge as it was very hot the day we arrived for a 4 day stay. The room was cool and comfortable, and the pool was wonderful. We were fine with the absence of a TV in our room, but one night used the Apple TV in the library to stream a show we wanted to watch. Internet was very fast. The B&B is 3 blocks easy walk to the downtown and restaurants, good coffee, the best ice cream, and the Britt Festival. Also enjoyed that we were next door to a road that leads to a fascinating old cemetery that was also adjacent to a number of hiking trails. And for us, the adult-only policy was good. We are likely to stay there again, and considering renting the whole place with a family group. read more

This house is amazing. It has a great history, and a charm that is hard to fictive. Great amenities that make it very cozy and inviting. A great place to break away from reality, unwind and take in nature. Jamie and Shawn are great hosts who are very attentive and always willing to share time with the guests or if you prefer to be left alone they are great at catering to your needs while giving you the privacy you desire. This is a must visit for those history buffs and those seeking a nice secluded quiet retreat. read more

Beautiful place. We ended up there by accident and what a treat it was. Clean, charming, quiet, absolutely a perfect experience. James (owner) made us a lovely breakfast and our little dog was right at home. Pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gazebo, pond, and deer galore just roaming around. We would not miss a chance to go back. The library is a cool niche and the town of Jacksonville is just absolutely charming. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful overnight at TouVelle House, with James and Kristin, our welcoming hosts! We were greeted warmly, given a tour and then my husband settled in the study to watch the football game with his wine and Kristin's homemade cookies! That evening, we had an easy walk into town for dinner and then tucked into our lovely, king sized bed in our quite large room! In the morning, James, with his awesome chef credentials, prepared us a gourmet feast. The home and grounds are splendid and we simply can't wait to return...it really doesn't get much better than this! read more

When my wife and I decided to go on vacation, we always struggle with where to stay. We know where were going, what were going to do, places to eat, sights to see, et cetera. However, the one challenge we have is where to stay. Oh sure, we can browse through hotel and lodging websites (we always start there), but it's become quite an adventure as we sift through thousands of quotes, reviews and location pictures. What's funny about all this is that we always end up with the same general decision....IT MUST BE A BED AND BREAKFAST!! "Why?' you ask. Simple, really. It's about being someplace like home. Come on, you know, we all know the different definitions of the word home... ...relaxed and comfortable ...at ease ...in harmony with the surroundings These are things you can't get at a hotel, where the hardly get to know your name, and they herd you in and out like cattle. So, on our latest trip to Oregon, we yearned for our "home away from home." After the long searching, we found a place in the small town of Jacksonville, OR, the Touvelle House. They did have some beautiful pictures of the homes and ground, but what attracted us more was the over 150 rave reviews of this oasis of the Northwest. We had to check it out, and see if it lived up to our four categories of must haves... INTERIOR - The Touvelle house is masterfully designed to fit the craftsman style of the house itself. Whether it was resting in the comfortable surrounds of our beautiful room, or sitting quietly in front of one of their two fireplaces, we found ourselves immersed in such grandeur that you could have just stayed inside and enjoyed yourself. EXTERIOR - The grounds are quite extensive and include the following amenities: 1) Pool 2) Sauna 3) Bocce Ball I'd include items for there general landscaping, but that doesn't really describe the beauty of each carefully designed area of the grounds, which ranged for general floral areas to a lovely pond and fountain in front of the house. There are seating areas littered throughout the entire grounds, offering some wonderful view of the area. In many cases, we were welcomes by the wandering deer (with their fawns) as they played, ate and generally rested everywhere. FOOD - A different dish every morning, all using some of the freshest ingredients available in the area. All the meals started with a homemade muffin or scone, followed by local fruit and yogurt, and finally a succulent egg dish with roasted potatoes or vegetables. Teas and Coffee are available all day and night, and fresh cookies were baked to warm us on cool evenings. There is also a nice selection of wines from local wineries, which would be tasted and purchased through the B&B. HOSTS - This is where the Touvelle house goes from a great bed and breakfast to a truly special destination on its own right. Gary and Tim take every special care to ensure you have an enjoyable experience in both their establishment and in their small town. From providing information on things to do in the area to recommending restaurants for dinner events, they leave nothing out. Some of our fondest moments of our recent vacation were when we convinced our hosts to just sat and talked with our hosts about life and our fun experiences. Over the week we stayed at the Touvelle House, they became so much more than hosts, they became our friends. What does this mean for you? It means that you'd better find a reason to get yourself to this town, and more importantly, this wonderful bed and breakfast. It's rare when you find that one special place that reminds you of all that is good in the world, or takes you away from the hustle and bustle or the daily grind. In the case of Touvelle, I think they now have a piece of my heart, and I yearn for the opportunity to go back and be "home." read more

I really wish we could have stayed more than one night. After a booking mishap at another hotel (a very loooong story), my husband and I decided to spend one night at the Touvelle House before heading on to Ashland. Our room (the Crater Lake room) was at the tip-top of the house, and I was worried that it might be hot or stuffy because of the summer heat. This was NOT the case. We had our own dedicated air conditioner that pumped out icy blasts of air. We remained cool and cozy, despite the soaring temperatures outside. Our suite - as well as the entire house - was immaculate. Clean and dust-free, and charmingly decorated. Breakfast was lovely and generous: an egg souffle, yogurt and berries, fresh baked banana bread, and juice. Gary and Tim were incredibly kind and gracious hosts, and even gave us some tips on what to see and do in nearby Medford. And downtown Jacksonville is literally a few steps away. The only downside is that the B&B is alarmingly close to a historic cemetery, which, for those of us who are petrified of zombies, is a bit unsettling. But I'd still visit again. read more

First time staying at a bed and breakfast, and pretty sure it is going to be hard to top Touvelle house and the awesome hospitality of Gary and Tim. We arrived at 11pm at night, and were the only ones staying that night, so we had this gigantic house space basically to ourself. We stayed in a cozy little room on the third floor (Adirondack), which is the only one with the bathtub. The bed was fantastic (had to get the details on their sheets and feather pillow (which they fluff up on a regular basis). Woke up in the morning to the smell of coffee brewing and robins chirping outside the window (there is a sound machine in the room, but since we live in NE portland, this place seemed extremely quiet). The breakfast was fantastic, and they even have an alternative list of food in case you are allergic to various things. The grounds are very nice, and if we were here in the summer would have sat by the pool and used the sauna. I am sitting in a cozy leather chair in the living room by the fire, drinking a great cup of coffee while writing this. Totally recommend, and this is my new place to stay when I am in Southern Oregon. read more

What a shame there are not more reviews of the comfortable and delightful TouVelle House! I thought I'd find dozens. I will, therefore, do my part to right this woeful wrong. My husband and I just spent five cozy, restful nights in Tim and Gary's wonderfully comfortable bed in the peaceful and well appointed Crater Lake room, and completely relished each breakfast feast the next morning. I could not even begin to adequately describe the exquisitely gratifying fare prepared from scratch for us. Honestly, the variety of fine cuisine we enjoyed is not anything I would have thought to make for myself, but is was ALL wonderfully delectable! Although there are several alternative breakfasts from which to choose, the featured menu is not to be missed even if it seems like something you might not thoroughly enjoy... believe me, you will! My husband was sorry the two mornings he opted for Butte Creek oatmeal (even though it was also very good) instead of the planned menu items. Obviously, the food as the highlight of MY stay at TouVelle House. I must also mention that Tim and Gary's suggestions for sights not to be missed were appreciated and completely accurate; we were not disappointed. And, we took advantage of a hiking book they conspicuously left on one of the dining tables for us to find... just another example of their thoughtfulness and hospitality. Although there was not a TV in our room, we had the little nook with the flat-screen and DVD player all to ourselves several nights to enjoy our hometown team's baseball game one night and a good movie (from their extensive collection) another. Not wanting to belabour an overly exhaustive review of our completely gratifying visit, I will end with the admonition that you will not be disappointed staying at the TouVelle House. It is an experience that will never be forgotten. Too bad there are not more than five stars to give it. read more

We have stayed at the Touvelle House several times in the last few years and almost think of it as our home away from home. The historic house is warm and inviting, and Jamie and Shawn are always friendly and welcoming. And I can't say enough about how delicious the breakfasts are! Fresh hot huckleberry scones with homemade blackberry-lavender jam - really? Soufflés and quiches are always tasty, and the local fruit and berries are excellent. The homemade secret-recipe toasted nuts and seeds granola with yogurt was over the top! I highly recommend a stay here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Touvelle House - The pond in the front yard. - Hotels Near Me - Jacksonville, Oregon

If you are planning a wedding here but are okay with them cancelling then this is a great place to pick. Also if you buy a friend a gift certificate and they can't accommodate your requests for dates until a year later, and then they won't honor your gift certificate one day later than the one year expiration, then this is the place for you. When explaining this to the receptionist she was very passive aggressive about everything. Would recommend never staying here if you want a reliable place to stay. They actually called the night before we were to arrive to let us know this was a problem despite finding out about it 6 months prior when we made the reservations. This is BAD form. I have never left a one star review but they deserve it. And I'm not even going to discuss the wedding they canceled because something better came along read more

My wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at the Touvelle House. We really enjoyed ourselves. Jamie and Shawn are amazing hosts. Not only is the house tastefully decorated, the rooms are extremely comfortable and the food was delicious. Jamie and Shawn have done a great job making this house their own. We look forward to visiting them again. We highly recommend this place. read more

If you are looking for the most quintessential bed and breakfast experience of your life with the nicest hosts in a charming historic house, then this is the perfect place to stay! My husband and I had our first getaway weekend without our kids in four years and this place was so perfect. The house is steeped in local history and it was fun perusing the library, examining the old photos of the house that hung in the halls, and enjoying the fire in the living room. We also loved the grounds, especially hopping in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub and sauna. The best part was breakfast, where we chatted with the owners as they whipped up and served a truly outstanding homemade breakfast each morning. A few highlights were the warm gingerbread cranberry walnut muffins (tasted just like fall), yogurt with berry compote, French toast soufflé, apple chicken sausage, and baked egg cups. This was such a memorable and unique stay and we will definitely be back the next time we are in town! read more

Best bang for the buck bed and breakfast I've ever been to. The owners were a delight and the building was very well kept. Breakfast was amazing and I left having had enough food (not normally the case at B&B's in the area). I made a special request for condiments and they accommodated me without hesitation. My wife and I will definitely be going back again. read more

You won't find a better B&B than this. Before Brian and Gary took over, this 1916 Craftsman style home was a typical nice B&B - judging from the before and after photos in the book in the great room. Tim and Gary have made it into a completely elegant B&B. The decor is wonderful and the furnishings high quality. The great room has Stickley easy chairs and sofa. There are so many places and little nooks to sit in the common areas, indoors and out, you would need to stay there a week to try them all out. The grounds are beautiful - also designed by Tim and Gary. Our room, the Elizabeth TouVelle room, was spacious, light, and very comfortable in spite of the outside temps in the mid 90s. The front window looked out into a huge old oak tree and on to the extensive grounds. The side window looked down into a side courtyard with a fountain and garden. The chair in our room was very high quality and comfortable. I have stayed at many nice B&Bs without a single comfortable chair in the entire place. This was a delight. Everything was first rate. The breakfast was excellent, with everyone seated at one large table. We had wonderful conversations at breakfast with the whole table participating at the beginning, then breaking into a group at each end. We walked to dinner both evenings and had excellent food at two of the many near-by restaurants. Tim and Gary were both very charming and made the extra effort to give each of their guests individual attention. We look forward to staying here again. read more
