Downtown Delight: Ashland's Walkable Retreat

Helman House and Cottages ~ Old Ashland Charm, Short Walk to the Plaza

Just a few short blocks to Ashland Plaza on a quiet, tree-lined street you’ll find
old-Ashland charm in the Helman House and Cottages. Convenient to the
many theaters—including the world-renowned Oregon Shakespeare
Festival—boutique shops, award winning wineries, and restaurants Ashland is
famous for, Helman House is a home away from home for visitors eager to
experience all Southern Oregon has to offer.

Your reservation will include the Helman House and two cottages (sleeps 10). Updated with all modern amenities, Helman House boasts two large bedrooms, a king-size bed downstairs and two queens upstairs, two full baths, and a basic kitchen for light and simple meal preparation. Enjoy the bright kitchen nook for your sunny morning coffee or a long soak in the cast iron clawfoot tub. Located directly behind the house, each of the two studio cottages feature a king-size bed, sitting area, and kitchenette.

The main house has a central heat and AC. The studios are also equipped with window units that have both heat and AC.

Perfect for a multi-party or family gathering, the Helman House and Cottages provide comfort and convenience for all.

Other things to note:

Please note that the wall shared by both studios is relatively thin as far as soundproofing. If you’d like, please inquire about other units that may be more sound proof.

There is more than one unit at this property. There are security cameras at this property.

For safety, there is a ring doorbell at the front door. It is active 24/7. Video and sound recording is motion activated. The home is also equipped with a decibel monitoring sensor located inside and outside of the home. It is 100% privacy compliant and is required on this property. Tampering with or disabling the ring doorbell and noise monitoring sensor will immediately cancel the reservation.

Please be aware that if you're bringing a pet, there will be an additional fee of $150 for a pet fee. Thank you.

Ashland weekend

The house and studios were perfect for my 4 friends and myself. The location was amazing and we could walk to most of our destinations. I highly recommend staying at this house.

Great Location in Ashland

The Helman Street Guest Houses were a great retreat for our family's multi-generational family vacation. We had three families meet up and use the main house and two studios for our spring break. There was plenty of space for the nine of us and our dogs. The location was wonderful and was a quick walk to the main downtown area. Communication was easy with Sylvie and they were always quick to respond. We would love to come back to the Helman House for a future family vacation!

Great Location & Gracious Hosts

We really enjoyed staying at the Helman House Mega! Lots of space for extended families and walkable to downtown Ashland, Lithia Park and wonderful restaurants. Great off street parking, nice soaking tub in separate bath and W/D on site. Great communication from hosts, easy check in and out. A great place to spread out with extended family.

Cozy, comfy, perfect home for our very large group!

The Helman House (Mega) was the absolute perfect home for our stay in Ashland. We are a group of eleven 25-45 year old women going through a certification program and our teacher is in Ashland. It took us so long to find the perfect place for us to stay in Ashland as our group is so big. We really wanted to stay together, close to downtown Ashland, and this house made that possible. The beds were all so comfortable, the living room was perfect for having our circles in, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the bathrooms were great. Both of the two apartments were well furnished and just as lovely as the main house. Sylvie (the owner) and Kat (her PA) were wonderful hosts and we are so grateful we stayed here. We will absolutely stay here again next time we come together in Ashland!
