Our stay at the Century House in Ashland was amazing. The hosts Bryan and Jennifer provide excellent service and their house is clean, comfortable and inviting.The hosts have thought of everything and more. The town of Ashland is beautiful and we are so thankful that we found this gem. This is the best rental house we have ever stayed in and if we are in the area again we look forward to visiting again. Thank you Bryan & Jennifer!

The place was extremely clean and comfortable. The house used to be smoked in as there was a noticeable old smell of cigarette smoke. Otherwise it was a great place.

Summer family visit
We have family live in Ashland. Great location for small kids. We love walking a lot so it’s close to our family we are visiting and even to downtown (if you really enjoy walking ).

Perfect little house
I honestly hate saying we were there for Miss Ohio week because do not want anyone to poach it from us for next year!House was PERFECT for our needs for the week. Close enough where relative easy drive but far away enough to not be part of the drama.Communication with owner was fantastic - super responsive.Would absolutely stay here again.

simple place convenient to attractions
Had a little trouble getting in but once settled, the home worked very well. My husband and his caregiver did a road trip to visit the Ship state Reformatory while I entertained some women friends for a few days. The place worked well for that.

A gem
Within a charming exterior, the rooms remarkably spacious, recently renovated, and meticulously clean. The property is quiet, and the hosts were very helpful and responsive. The inclusion of a piano, coffee maker, and a comfortable couch in front of a large TV made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is a short walk to Ashland University and a short drive to parks and trails. We’d love to stay here again!

Always consistent
We’ve stayed here several times while visiting our son who attends Ashland University. It’s close to campus and the baseball field where he plays. We always recommend it to other sports parents. Cheaper than the Hampton Inn usually
