Ashland’s Whistle Stop – In the heart of the Center Of The Universe
Come and enjoy this beautifully remodeled and quaintly decorated 3-bedroom 2.5-bathroom home that will enfold you in the look and feel of the Town of Ashland. Come and enjoy the custom décor that celebrates all that Ashland has to offer, such as the Train Room, the Randolph Macon inspired bedroom, and the Center of the Universe Billiards Room.
Located just blocks from Downtown Ashland and Randolph Macon College – choose your mode of getting around – many attractions are walkable such as the YMCA or Town Pool. If you prefer biking, there are many quiet, safe, tree-lined streets that end up at the center of town where there are many restaurants and shops. Catch a movie at the recently renovated Ashland Theater then stop in one of the local eateries for live music and a cold beverage.
Community events like street parties, fun runs, bicycle rides, Holiday parades, the Strawberry Fair and of course, the Biennial Ashland Musical Variety Show as well as Randolph Macon College sports and campus events help make Ashland a very lively, fun, and friendly place to be.
This home has everything you will need or want to unwind for a weekend away or to enjoy an extended stay for several couples or an entire family. This home sleeps 6 adults or 4 adults and 4 children.

The open floor plan has a rec. room with a full-sized Brunswick pool table; a cozy living room; a spacious kitchen layout with lots of cabinets, counter space, a breakfast bar and a large coffee bar; the dining room has seating for at least six – the separate laundry room has a full-sized washer and dryer.

We booked for Ashland Train Day and had a wonderful stay! James was very quick with responding to any questions and the check in and check out was seamless and easy. Fantastic communication, the house was spotless and beautifully decorated, it is only just under a mile from the Ashland train depot and was easy to get down there. I can't say enough about how nice our stay was. I highly recommend this house and host!

We were in town for a wedding in seven springs- outside Richmond. The property was really nice and the location to the wedding and RMC and the downtown area there very convenient. Cool brunch spots and close to grocery and convenience stores. Anything you could want. Pool table fun with my adult kids! Nice neighborhood. Host was responsive and everything we needed was taken care of. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time visiting family in Glen Allen from this modern, beautifully appointed home. It had everything we needed, and the host was extremely attentive and thoughtful. Highly recommend. It is quite close to downtown Ashland, and about 20 mins to Glen Allen.

Center of the Universe
We planned on staying in Ashland while visiting my sister nearby. The property was as advertised with pristine themed rooms. All of the beds were extremely comfortable and allowed for maximum relaxation. The host recommended a local eatery "The Caboose" approximately 7 minutes away and it was just as awesome as the residence. Definitely staying again when I visit Virgina!
