Ashland Creek Inn

A dream within a dream, this ten-suite luxury inn at the Ashland Creek Inn gives guests a first class base camp to experience entertainment including the world famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival at their doorstep and explore natural wonders such as Crater Lake in the bioregional backyard.

Since opening their doors over a decade ago, Ashland’s only all-suite inn has become a perennial pied-à-terre for patrons of the town’s annual ‘ode to Shakespeare’’, the nine-month festival that Time magazine ranked one of the top five regional theaters in the country.

ok but things to know

The hotel is only staffed from 9am to 3pm. Absolutely no one around during the typical hours that guests check in and check out. We stayed on a weeknight, and only one other room in the whole building appeared to be occupied. When I walked the dog later in the evening and early in the morning, I was approached by a couple of panhanlders and I didn't like the fact that there weren't other people around because it's down a poorly lit small side street on the edge. The hotel room was nice - comfy beds, nice linens and fluffy towels, and the outdoor decks overlooking the creek are great.

A perfect spot in Ashland

A lovely quiet spot on the creek but just steps away from downtown. Each suite has a theme. We stayed in the Sienna which had a beautiful private deck over the creek, fire place AND a Juliet balcony off the bedroom. One of the highlights is the amazing gourmet breakfast. Each morning was different and absolutely delicious! I would say the only down side was the giant jacuzzi tub that takes up way too much room. Plus the jets did not work. But we will definitely be back!

Wonderful place, close to town/theaters

This is a wonderful inn within an easy walk of the Shakespeare Festival theaters and shopping in beautiful downtown Ashland. We stayed in the Copenhagen Room, which comes equipped with a small kitchen area & table as well as a sitting area with couch, flat screened TV, etc. The room had a small patio that overlooked the koi pond and fountain. Decor was understated--and Scandinavian (in keeping with the room's theme)! Lovely! Breakfast was wonderful--and filling enough to last us through the day. My only caveat is that if you have short legs and/or are a senior citizen who struggles to get in and out of tubs, you might want to ask for a room with a standing shower; Copenhagen's tub-shower was quite deep, because it doubles as a jacuzzi tub, so getting in and out was challenging for us when showering. This was absolutely not a deal-breaker for us, however! Great place; we will be back.

A MUST Stay!

My husband and I have stayed in many stellar hotels and inns, and Ashland Creek is one of the most wonderful of them all! We were in the Copenhagen Suite, but I imagine that the experience in all the (themed) suites is the same—exceptional attention to detail, every amenity and comfort imaginable provided (freshly baked chocolate chip cookies upon our arrival, comfy robes, jacuzzi tub, fully-equipped kitchenette, interesting books to read). And all accomplished with style! Breakfast is included. We enjoyed ours on the outside deck next to the babbling and beautiful Ashland Creek. Graham, the owner of the Inn, made sure that all my dietary needs (gluten-free, dairy-free) were accommodated, and the meal was delicious: fresh fruit smoothie, french toast, chicken + apple sausage, fruit. Had there been any room available for a second night, we would have extended our stay.

You Have GOT to stay here

We have stayed at inns and hotels all over the world. Our experience at the Ashland Creek Inn ranks in the Top Ten - worldwide! Beginning with the theme of our room, the Devon Suite, all of the furnishings were curated with an uncanny eye for detail, making us feel as though we were actually in England. This suite has two balconies overlooking Ashland Creek. Due to the heavy snows this winter, recent snowmelt meant that the creek was running full and fast, and its gentle burbling sound was a perfect way to drift off to sleep. The beds are extremely comfortable. There is a tasty little in-house baked treat placed on the table inside the door each day. While Lunch and Dinner are not served (Don't worry, there are plenty of other venues in Ashland for those meals) the Breakfast is outstanding, uses locally sourced ingredients, and leaves you full and satisfied. Located on a very quiet side street, there is virtually no traffic noise, and yet multiple restaurants, shops, galleries, theaters, and even Lithia Park, are all within walking distance. Innkeeper and Owner Graham obviously loves his job,. He is friendly, hospitable, and can carry on a conversation on just about any topic. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Ashland Creek Inn during our visit, and we STRONGLY recommend that you stay here, too!
