The Pelton House

Our visit was a bit strange. Though the accomodations (water room) were nice, it wasn't the traditional bed and breakfast warmth and friendliness that I was expecting. Before we arrived we spoke with the owner on the phone and gave her our ETA. When we got there, we walked up to the front of the main building and rang the bell. We were greeted by bewildered guests, and led to believe that we were in the wrong place (even though Pelton House was on the sign). After a few confused minutes, the owner came rushing over from across the street. She guided us to a back cottage where our room was and told us the main house was being rented in its entirety to a family. I would have appreciated finding out about this prior to arrival. The water room was nice. There was a gas (fake) wood burning stove, comfy king size bed, and a clean and modern bathroom. The TV was tiny and only got about 5 local channels, which was not a huge deal as we didn't want to spend too much time watching television our one night in Ashland. Take note about the water room: there is a large skylight right above the bed, which was charming in the evening but shone bright light into our eyes in the morning. There was also a strangely old, lint-covered robe hanging on the coat rack in our room - very out of place in the otherwise sparkling environment. The breakfast was disappointing. Because the main house was off-limits we were instructed to walk across the street to eat breakfast in the owner's tiny kitchen. It was awkward and not very comfortable. We were served fruit, blackberry muffins, and then fruit-topped bread pudding. As strange combination if you ask me. The food was OK.

We were not able to get the water room, and was in the building adjacent. The bedroom interior nearly the same as hoped for....the breakfast was the outstanding item to complement on. We will plan to stay here again when possible.

We have had the good fortune to stay in three of the Pelton Houses's rooms and loved each of them, the owners have excellent taste and give great attention to detail. Mostly though we have been pleased with the personal attention to our needs (traveling with small children). The house is one block from the center of Ashland, in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood, and includes a beautiful large garden and exceptional breakfast menus.

My husband and I stayed here after a camping trip - so the accommodations were welcomed! The breakfast is great and the service is nice. We stayed in the Fire room. We really liked the decor and the bathroom shower had lots of room and good water pressure. No picture of the Fire room was posted online so we were surprised to find our room had 2 twin beds instead of 1 queen. The owner said she informed us, but that wasn't the case. Anyhow, just be aware if you stay in the Fire room that it's 2 twin beds. Also- owners if you read this, please update your website. Other than that, we had a pleasant stay. Did I mention breakfast was fabulous?!

Great website and easy to navigate. Simple, but delicious breakfast. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Great location. Welcoming hostess. All the details taken care of. Highly recommend.

I picked the Pelton House because it was between the Shakespeare Festival and my favorite restaurant in town, The Peerless. My son and I stayed in the room, Fire, which had two twin beds and was located in the main house. I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and modernity of our room and bathroom (gorgeously done in slate with an amber raised glass bowl sink). The robes were a nice added touch. I would definitely stay here again.

Pelton House is a nice, cozy place and perfect for walking downtown, to a play or to Lithia Park. The breakfast is terrific and Brenda was very nice about fixing a special oatmeal for my husband. We enjoyed our stay. I did think the bathroom was rather small in the Water Room and needed a shelf (at least under the sink) to put your stuff on. But, that's minor compared to the comfortable feeling we had while we were there.

The Pelton House is in an excellent location, only a couple of blocks from the Shakespeare Festival and local restaurants. Although small, the room was very nice, if a little dark. The staff was very kind. It was a fine place to stay, but nothing was extraordinary, which is why I have rated that everything met our expectations.

We stayed for several nights in the Pelton House, and have been raving about it since. Even with theatre and the beautiful scenery around, this place still managed to be a highlight of the trip. The staff went out of their way to be courteous and accommodating; the location was perfect - a short walk from everything, but in so quiet a location it felt more remote than a suburb (perfect for relaxing outside, in the beautiful garden). All was very clean and quiet, yet friendly and close to everything. A perfect combination. Kudos!

Comfortable and convenient. The shower stall in the Wood room was worth the visit

The Pelton House Divas are old friends that we love seeing year after year. They always make room for us even on short notice. Their rooms are lovely, breakfast is delicious, and they are a short walk to the theater!

I enjoyed my stay at the Pelton House. I especially loved eating the chocolate chip cookies. The owners were very nice, as well.

Very quiet, larger room than expected, good food, good company, good location.

The service was great, and we really enjoyed the breakfast. Overall, we had a great stay.

Our room was in the house across the street from Pelton House. A bit small, but comfortable, and the bathroom was charming. Pots of decaf and regular coffee are set up for the morning, providing fresh coffee whenever you wake up and push the button. The hostess was delightful, atmosphere friendly. Would definitely return.

We were two couples who stayed in the Manzanita rooms in a cottage across the street from the Pelton House itself for a couple of nights in early September 2011. Each couple had a separate upstairs queen bedroom and shared an expansive spa-type bath and shower down the hallway (a washer and dryer were also available, but we did not use them). Downstairs in the building, we shared with occupants of two other downstairs rooms, a nicely equipped and stocked kitchen, and several pleasant sitting and eating areas (inside and out -- perfect for the hot days and pleasant evenings we spent). Cookies and breakfasts were very tasty, if not gigantic; just right for us. Best of all, the facilities are located in the heart of downtown Ashland, a few short blocks from OSF venues, very pleasant morning walks in Lithia Park, and within easy walking distance to Ashland's many restaurants, shops, museums, galleries, and bookstores. The price for the Manzanita and breakfasts, considering the time of year, competition and location, was very fair for 4 people in separate rooms.

Pelton House exceeded our expectations in every way. Breakfast each day was delicious. The rooms were clean and well organized. Love not having TV's in the rooms! Mary and Brenda (and little Warren) were most gracious hosts. My cousin and I plan to return to Pelton House next chance we have to travel to Ashland! Carole Matteson and Patricia Matthews

We were very pleased with the accomodation at Pelton House. We stayed in the Water room and it was quite lovely - comfortable bedding and beautiful decor. The breakfast was incredibly delicious and Brenda, the hostess, was very friendly and helpful. We would certainly stay here again and recommend it to our friends.

Can't say exceeded our expectations because they were as good as we have experienced in the past. Lovely, convenient place to stay. Very helpful all the way from recommending restaurants, pointing out birds nesting, and putting out blankets to take to the outdoor theater.

We like this B&B because it's right in town, but quiet. One bonus is the tasteful, modern decor - none of the frilly/cheesy decor that is common to many B&Bs. The friendly staff never hesitates to accommodate our dietary restrictions. Would definitely recommend.

Only there for one night...sadly, but enjoyed the lawn chairs, cute room and cool house. We got to stayed in the McCully house. Too many BIG pillows on the bed and nowhere to put them but on the floor. Thanks for the breakfast coupon, too! We dined around town...

This inn is wonderful, with warm, friendly, and competent innkeepers, and is a great value as well. There are many various options for room/bed configurations, all in cozy and wonderfully renovated rooms and houses. The breakfasts are a highlight, and the many homey touches made us feel like Pelton House is a home away from home.

We stayed for two days & nights, we loved the rooms & breakfast. Wonderful!

Great place to stay - the room was spacious and had tons of character. The food was excellent!

Our stay was just as good the first time as well as the 6th time. Hostess of the house was gracious and very accommodating. Rooms tastefully decorated and comfortable. We felt welcomed and at-home. Breakfast was tasty and presented "Bon Appetit" quality. Location of the house was ideal....2 blocks from downtown and theaters.

Our stay at the Pelton House was absolutely needed. The Earth room with it's own private hot tub and mini courtyard was perfect. Quiet, clean and the hospitality by Mary and her daughter was second to none. We will definitely be back. The location to downtown and the theaters is unbeatable.

We stayed in the Cypress Room and it was outstanding. We have already reserved it for next year. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the afternoon home made cookies each day! Mary was great and made our stay very welcoming.

y stay at Pelton House, which was also close to the theaters. The room was large and comfortable, and the breakfasts were super. We also enjoyed talking not only to the guests but also to the owners.

We loved the Pelton House. Great hosts and wonderful breakfast. Close to everything. Will be our first choice next time we are in Ashland.

Perfect spot to stay in Ashland- close to everything. Breakfasts are really delicious and plentiful. Rooms were pleasant enough, but the general property is in need of some deep cleaning and repairs.

I would recommend this place highly. It was within walking distance to theater, shopping and dining. The breakfast were very good and they cater to your needs. The staff was very friendly and the afternoon cookies a delight.

We stayed here last year and will return later this year. Brenda was very helpful in making a reservation. Be sure to call them because the website doesn't show all the available rooms.

The garden was beautiful, rooms large and well decorated, always cookies out freshly made Huge delicious breakfast perfect place to stay. Ashland was a delightful town to visit

The rooms are great. Very comfortable beds and lots of room. The innkeepers are very friendly and accomodating. Breakfast was fancy and yummy, though if you are looking for something to really hold you over, this will not. Lots of pastry type sweets, but no protein. Otherwise, this was a great value (especially their off-season rates)!

Mary and her family are generous hosts and made me feel right at home. Location is close to dining and the theaters.

Very convenient for attending the Ashland Shakespearean Plays. The breakfast was excellent. Parking can be difficult. Overall highly recommended!

We've stayed several times at the Pelton House and always have a great time. The rooms are quite comfortable, even luxurious, and the bathrooms pretty spectacular.

We rented the house across from the main B&B for four days. We loved it. Lovely rooms, great kitchen, nice outdoor area and fresh baked cookies every afternoon, need I say more? Everything is within walking distance, one friend lost two pounds even though we ate great food and drank perhaps a bit too much.

Beautiful room, very comfortable bed, slept great! Wished we could have stayed longer. Will return if possible.

The Pelton House is close to shops, eateries and to the Shakespeare Festival. The breakfasts are wonderful and the rooms are comfortable. Mary and Brenda are the PERFECT hosts. We travel to Ashland three times each year and wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Very nice B&B, super nice owner, cook, etc. Lovely bedding, which I really care about, and nice light breakfast with congenial crowd both mornings. Beautiful bathrooms. We enjoyed it.

We enjoyed the Water Room, which was airy and private. The innkeeper was gracious, breakfast delicious, and the conversation with the other guests great fun. Also very nice dogs..... And a very convenient location to boot.

Very delightful weekend stay at the Pelton House. Innkeepers were friendly and helpful with ideas and suggestions; the room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable; and the breakfasts delicious. Will definitely stay here again.

This was our 4th stay at Pelton House, with 5th and 6th stays upcoming. We find Pelton House extremely convenient to the theatres and downtown shops and dining. The staff is friendly and efficient, rooms uniquely decorated and breakfasts delicious. We highly recommend Pelton House!

Great selection of accommodations. Rooms boutique hotel-like; bathrooms exceptional. Great personal service and home-made breakfasts. Perfect location for Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

We enjoyed all aspects of our stay at Pelton House. The house and our room were exceptionally well decorated and presented. The location is ideal for Ashland theater and for strolling the main street and the Railroad District. The welcome was warm and the breakfast quite good. We'll be back.

gracious hostess, wonderfully comfortable rooms, easy access to downtown, fantastic food! I will certainly return.

Everything about the Pelton House and our stay was superb! Mary, our host, and her family are delightful. Our room was cozy, clean and lovely. The location is ideal for those who prefer to walk to activities, shopping and food. Our breakfasts...yum! We'll stay there again and highly recommend The Pelton House.

My husband and I stayed here recently. It was a lovely place, but we opted for the cheapest room; the water room. It smelled a little foul, but seemed very clean and cozy. In hindsight, I wish we had chosen a nicer room and we will likely do so if we stay there again. The breakfast and hospitality were above and beyond what we expected. The women who run the place are very sweet and welcoming. The proximity to downtown cannot be beat, as it is just a short walk away.

I stayed for 2 nights with 2 girlfriends on the Wood room, which has two connecting bedroom and a door leading to the dining room. (the drawback was that I heard everything from the dining room, including the chairs) We truly enjoyed the stay in this cozy house. The breakfast was fresh and homemade (quiche one day, and hot cake with a plate of fruits the other day) The photo showing the bedrooms did not do the place justice. I was reluctant to stay at this place because the furnitures looked too modern in the photos but in life, it was actually a modern classic and tastefully done. The towels and bed sheets were clean.

The Carriage House "Fire Room" was restful and decorated in a lovely way with good a/c, if needed. The yard with comfortable chairs and table was a treat to share with the house golden retriever, Honey. Everything downtown was within in walking distance. My only suggestion would be to have a breakfast menu at each table to help eaters gauge their eating; e.g., fruit, muffin, juice and then bread pudding followed. I would have gone "easy" on the muffin at the beginning of the meal.

My sister and I had never been to Ashland, so I made the reservation here by change and it was a wonderful find! Mary, the owner, was always making fresh batches of cookies, the rooms were wonderful and the location could not have been more convenient. We also loved meeting and talking with the other guests at our fantastic breakfast. We will return here when we can.

I was fairly tired and dusty from the road when we arrived. Our hostess immediately poured me a tall glass of iced water and treated me to homemade chocolate cookies and ginger snaps. I relaxed in the wonderful, private jacuzzi in our room (Metal), used the razor and other amenities provided, stretched out and enjoyed! Came out alive and refreshed! The hostess was caring and attentive, yet not intrusive. Breakfast was so good I actually shut my eyes to enjoy the flavors of baked eggs, which I have not had in years. This B&B was truly a Godsend to me. I highly recommend it.

We stayed here about a month before our first child was born for a kind of last get away. I had seen the pictures online, but I was blown away when we actually got there and saw it in person. Every room was modern and gorgeous, very clean, the people were wonderful, and the food excellent. Plus, it was so close to everything that we walked everywhere. We will stay there again for sure!

Clean, quiet, friendly, and good food...Who would have guessed it? Pat Iantorno

What a wonderful place to stay! We had the Manzanita suite and it was lovely--the bath was totally luxurious. The innkeepers are charming, the breakfasts delicious, and the location can't be beat. Looking forward to staying again.

We stayed in the Water room, it is seperate from the main house and upstairs. It was very calming and spacious. The hosts were very accomodating and the breakfasts were wonderful! We will stay there again!
