Why our guests

Nice place. Clean, cozy.

My husband and I have stayed at many of the rentals in Ashland over the years. We really enjoyed the location of Hellman House. One could walk just about anywhere to dine, have drinks, shop, visit famous Lythia Park. The home was clean, and the property manager was very responsive. My only nitpicky thought is that the upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a door. Kind of odd. Should be easy enough to add one. Our daughter and her fiancé stayed with us two nights, and so we had to be quiet downstairs as not to wake them over our early morning coffee.

Excellent old home that has been modified throughout the decades to keep up with modern conveniences. Excellent heating and cooling systems. Love the front porch for rocking with a morning cup of coffee and an evening glass of wine. Pretty quiet inside while sleeping despite close neighbors with hyper-reactive dogs and a daycare. Each bedroom has a window without a blind/covering, so bring an eye mask if you don't want to be woken up by natural light from a 6ish am sunrise.

We were delighted to find the Helman House for our short stay in Ashland. It's a quiet, clean home and is an easy five-minute walk to the Shakespeare Festival and all the great restaurants and shops on Ashland's main drag. Highly recommend and we would stay here again.

August 2024
The Helman House is a terrific home, well equipped and perfectly situated in Ashland. You can walk everywhere local to shopping, theater, restaurants and parks. Kay and Silvie are there when you need them as hosts. Book it and have a great stay in Ashland

This worked great for us. The house was clean, comfortable and the bedrooms are great. However, if you want to cook, the kitchen is small and not well set up or stocked for real cooking. But Ashland has no shortage of good restaurants.

July 2024
Our group had a one night stay at this home. All went perfectly. The booking process was easy. Check in was smooth. Great communication along the way. The home is in a nice safe neighborhood. The home was clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay in this home again.

We enjoyed our stay in Ashland, the location was walking distance to downtown where we spent 90% of our time and lots of space to spread out and be cozy playing games and having morning coffee. Spacious enough for 3 women with the 2 bathrooms was a welcomed benefit. Beds were comfy and lots of extra blankets available. Would definitely stay there again and rec to others with a party of 3 or more. It's a bit pricey for just 3 peeps but worthwhile for the location, comfy space, and quiet neighborhood. Thank you so much, Sylvie :-)

Our stay at the Helman house was amazing! The location was just perfect, the spacious house worked great for my family. Being so close to all of Ashlands attractions, great restaurants was a big plus, and the comfortable living spaces made our trip super relaxing and enjoyable. We'll definitely be back and hopefully be able to stay here again for our next visit. Highly recommended!

We used all three beds and they were very comfortable. The linens, including towels were high end and seemed new as well. It seemed like the entire inside may have been recently painted and it was clean and bright. Easy walkable neighborhood, we were there mid-week- as close as it was to Main Street we easily slept in, it was so quiet! Sylvia responded to our questions quickly and was friendly and professional. Look forward to another stay.

April 2025
Very comfortable, and we were thrilled with how close it was to all of our favorite shops and theaters. We were able to walk everywhere. Hope to stay again next year!

Location is perfect for OSF theater goers. Like the Helman St. neighborhood and it’s convenience to walkable downtown Ashland. Loved the towels for dogs by the front door—-even though we four arrived without pets. Well-stocked kitchen, too.

July 2024
Quiet, clean and convenient location

May 2024
House was great, nice neighborhood.

March 2024
my family came to visit me here in Oregon. I live in Klamath Falls. I have never been to Ashland area, but we stayed here overnight. There was four of us total. I think it was exactly as described a wonderful place. The kitchen was beautifully stocked and it was just what I wanted as far as being close to the walkable Main Street, it’s an old house, but it has been updated and remodeled recently so I think it has that old house, character charm with all the updated amenities

May 2024
I was SO happy with Sylvie’s place. We had been camping for a few nights and needed a comfortable place to stay. I arrived took an amazing bath and had a great night sleep in the king bed. My friends slept great too and we did laundry before leaving. It was perfect.

June 2024
Sylvie was an excellent host and was a pleasure to deal with. She made our stay better than expected.

January 2024
We loved this place and would book again! We never had to drive the car after we parked as downtown and the theaters are a quick walk

Great location! Enjoyed the fenced yard.

November 2024
Had a great time. Nice that it was in walking distance to town. Never drove once. Beds very comfortable. The only thing was a rug in front room. It was coming up on the edge of living room. We kept tripping. It should be replaced before someone falls and gets hurt. Otherwise great place to stay. We would stay again.

Great place, close to downtown Ashland.

January 2024
A friend of mine and I stayed to this property for three days. We fully enjoyed the location as it is within walking distance to most everything a tourist could want or need. The home was clean, the beds comfortable and the front porch peacefully quite. All was as it was advertised to be and our host made herself available to answer questions and give recommendations. An easy place to return to should we find need for accommodations in Ashland sometime in the future.

Charming old school house renovated to feel neat and clean in a great location with awesome heating system, good water pressure and lots of comfortable space.

March 2024
A home away from home. Great location, clean with private entry and parking off street. My daughters and I were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with no hassle whatsoever. We had use of full kitchen and there was a washer and dryer on site. Hosts were in constant contact which was comforting in case of any issues. Would stay here again. Definitely recommend.

December 2023
I can not say enough good things about the helman house. It was so charming and comfortable. We loved the little enclosed front yard and the well lit breakfast nook. The location was excellent and was an easy 7ish minute walk to downtown ashland and ~10 minutes to the Oregon Shakespeare festival. My daughter loved the upstairs bedroom - big and spacious. sylvie was also excellent in her communication and availability. The neighborhood is super cute also. I would strongly recommend this place if you are staying in Ashland.

I recently visited Ashland with a family member to visit another living in the area and stayed at the Helman House (on Helman Street) owned by Sylvie & Kat. The house was perfect for what we were looking for and then some. The location is a quick ride (under 5 minutes to downtown) while an easy walk to some restaurants. There are two bedrooms, a master with King (comfortable) on the first floor and a large second bedroom with two Queens (also comfortable) on the second. two bathrooms on the first floor (none on second but no big deal). The water pressure in shower was great. The house was clean and had everything from a toaster oven to a blender (sadly didn't use). Decent sized tv for winding down. Easy access to house using digital locks. Off street parking proved handy with recycle trucks on road. Off street parking is available. Sylvie and Kat were readily available for any questions we may have had. The second floor had amazing views of the nearby mountains turning whiter and whiter near the top with snowfall each night. Ashland itself was a great little town offering tasty breakfast joints and shopping. There are several wineries (most seemed to specialize in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) just a hop skip and a jump from downtown with incredible views of their own. Ashland is an easy 20 minute ride from Medford Airport. Would I stay again? Absolutely. Thank you, Sylvie and Kat for providing your home. Edward Eldridge

We loved staying at Helman House! Sylive was a friendly, helpful host. The space was great for two couples. We enjoyed having a full kitchen and nice shared hangout spaces. We also took advantage of the great location, walking to the coop, coffee shops, restaurants, and the park. We hope to be able to stay here again.

February 2024
Fun location within walking distance to all places we would want to go to. We hope to be back soon! Comfortable and clean.
