The room was comfortable and the location was excellent, just a short walk to the downtown area which had tons of restaurants. A quaint place with an excellent host.

Sadly, It’s gone downhill…
While past guests have enjoyed it, the owners seem to have run out of energy. We learned that they no longer serve the breakfasts that drew praise in the past. There are now only three rooms, which are “fine” but nothing special. The garden in back is lovely, but there are only hard metal chairs with no cushions and no lounge chairs at all. It is very convenient if you are walking to downtown or the Shakespeare Festival, but that’s the best I can say about it.

This is an adorable inn that is close to downtown Ashland and across the street from our daughter's apartment. The proprietors were so kind, the room was clean and cute, and we had a private deck outside our door. We were only there for one night, but we really enjoyed it and will come back!

It's a great place and has friendly owners. Needs a little extra gardening outside but maybe just the time of fall is hard.

This was an absolute gem of a place. We enjoyed the garden and comfort of the room, but didn't have a chance to use the pool. We were pleasantly surprise that they had a Level2 EV charger for guest use. We had a lovely walk into town for dinner. Wish we could have stayed longer!

I had the best sleep here! It was so quiet and peaceful - an oasis really. Our room was comfy and the bed and pillows were perfect. It is an easy walk to the center of town. The property grounds are a haven with lots of different sitting areas - I sat outside and read many times during my stay. I highly recommend staying here!

Let me begin by saying that I have never given a 5 star rating to a hotel but Arden Forest Inn has earned it! Our room was very private and spacious. The attention to detail and special touches were evident throughout. The location is far enough away from the busy plaza but close enough to walk. Having a fully stocked guest kitchenette was another plus. We'll be back!

We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Our hosts, Corbett and Bill were exceptional. The breakfasts were amazing enough to feed an army. Staying at Arden felt like we were staying with family. Even strangers became friends thanks to the warm of our hosts and the home.

Took a quick three day trip and have to give the highest compliments to the hosts. Great place, great breakfast, and great people. The hosts are a treat to chat with over breakfast. A very private pool was a welcome site in summer heat as well.

Nice B&B
Owners are very nice. Great breakfast. Toilet leaking in room 1 so the tile was coming up and damp. But the room was clean and well stocked.

Very clean, very quaint, and cozy comfortable. The best part though, was the 9:00am breakfast every day the hosts prepared and shared that usually lasted all morning because of the friendly and engaging conversations they provided. It was as if we were best friends even though we had just met. The best bed and breakfast we've ever experienced.

The lovely innkeeper met me for a late checkin at 19 pm. There was e-vehicle charging right by my room. The sidewalks were a tad rough to navigate with my rolling suitcase - but overall all lovely stayover in Ashland

We had a lovely stay at Arden Forest. The location is perfect, about a 10 minute walk to town through a quiet, leafy residential area. The off-street parking was convenient. The grounds were beautiful; I wish we'd had time to spend a few hours relaxing in the garden. Our room was great -very clean with a comfy bed. The shower temperature and pressure were so appreciated after a chilly night of camping just before our visit. We barely interacted with the hosts, which was fine. Overall, a terrific option for Ashland and a great value if you book a few months out. Highly recommended.

Real Breakfast
Great Location. Beautiful yard with cozy privacy pool. Surrounded by plants and dears. Comfortable bed. Good pressure shower head. Hosts served a real breakfast with fresh fruit bowl and a main course - Haven't found such an authentic home-made omelet + biscuits anywhere else. Family enjoyed staying in the main house. As my suggestion, I wouldn't book the downstairs bedroom in the main house as the upstairs walk in the wooden floor makes considerable noise for people downstairs - I didn't see the others accommodation but for those matters, I definitely recommend a separate accommodation from the main house.

Enchanting weekend
We would definitely stay here again and recommend The Arden Forest Inn. Our 3 night stay was very enjoyable; we walked to town for meals, shopping and also to catch our shuttle to white water rafting with Noah’s Adventures. (Noah’s is a top notch company! The lunch was delicious and very generous! We also enjoyed a dinner show at the Oregon Cabaret Theatre. (Generous and fair pricing for dinner) We had time to cool down after walking home from town in the refreshing pool! It felt like we had the place to ourselves! We were lucky enough to share the grounds with a Mama doe and her darling fawns. What a treat that was! The shared kitchen has a Keurig and coffee cups along with cream in the fridge that we enjoyed each morning. This place is charming and a perfect place to stay in Ashland!
We went to Skout three times to have beer and once for dinner. It’s along the creek and across from Lithia park, which is a fun people watching (and deer) spot! Skout had the best street tacos!! Generous portions of meat and accompaniments! They also carry many beers on tap and allow several tastings! They carry gluten free beer too!
What a fun weekend!
