The Inn itself met all of our expectations. Wonderful ensuite rooms with very comfortable beds. The location was amazing, right in downtown Ashland and walking distance to our celebration of life venue. Our host Annie was attentive to our service needs and allowed an early entrance to the home as we arrived.The coffee units seem to need upgrading as some were non functioning. I have to state that I was taken by surprise that we were being watched either by a neighbor or a security camera. We did host an impromptu gathering of my brother and sister-in-laws friends who came to support them in the loss of my brothers son. We stayed on the patio and visited for a few hours after the formal celebration of life. Little did I know that there would be an up charge for the extra gathering. It would be nice if there was something posted on the VRBO site that mentions the cost of the unplanned gathering. I would not have changed what transpired for anything in the world because my brother and his immediate family deserved to have all the support in the world due to the loss of their son/brother/uncle. Let's make VRBO upfront and honest about cost!Thank you Annie for letting us use your lovely Inn.
