Charming 3-Bedroom Home in Heart of Ashland
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 Space:
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.
You will definitely want to dine out with so many local restaurants in walking distance, but should you need, the kitchen is fully stocked and includes an electric stove, microwave, toaster, Ninja blender, rice cooker, large refrigerator, full-sized dishwasher, electric kettle, and Keurig dual coffee maker.
The Primary bedroom features a luxurious King bed, seating area, walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom. The Second bedroom has a “memory foam” queen bed and a full-sized closet – this bedroom shares the hall bath with the Bunk Room. The Bunk Room has two full sized beds arranged in an over/under layout.
There are 40-inch “Smart TV’s” in all bedrooms and a 50-inch “Smart TV” in the family room all with Roku streaming capabilities.
The quiet back porch is the best place for morning coffee as well as for enjoying cool summer breezes in the shade of the tree filled back yard. The gas grill, just off the back deck, is available if you love to grill as much as we do. Enjoy the large firepit while relaxing with your family and friends.

The four of us had a great time staying at this house while enjoying Ashland and the surrounding area. The neighborhood is very quiet and family friendly, and conveniently located. We found the host to be very responsive to our needs. Will gladly stay again.

The property was very clean and comfortable. We had easy access to downtown Ashland and plenty of room.
House was very clean and well maintained in quiet neighborhood. Perfect for families. Great communication with property manager. We would stay here again.
This was our second time staying at 8 Swanee to take the kids to Kings Dominion for a few days before school starts back up. It was just as described and close to the Park. We’d definitely stay here again!
Clean, spacious and great communication! The location was perfect for our needs. Beds were all very comfortable and we could not have been happier with our stay. Thank you!
My husband and I recently stayed at this property while attending a business meeting in Richmond. It was very comfortable, super clean and very quiet. James was extremely helpful and responsive. We would definitely recommend this home for future guests.
This is truly one of the best places we've stayed. I can't say enough good things about James and the property. It was perfect for our needs. It truly is what you should expect from a host and property. Everything was as described and it was like we were at home. James' communications is on point and he is very responsive. Being from the area, we have found our home away from home when we are back!
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!
Fine house in nice neighborhood, close to everything
Very spacious, bedrooms were cozy and decorated very nicely. They had plenty of equipment in the kitchen to use to cook full meals and everyone enjoyed the pool table. It was nice to have a washer and dryer and we had more than enough clean linens and paper products. The oven appeared to have an issue with the controls, but were able to get around that and use it. It was nice to have the outdoor seating area and listen to the train.
The host was very responsive, communication was excellent. The master bedroom bed was a king size memory foam bed, it was amazing, i slept through the night every night.
We came to visit our oldest child and his family. Very close to Richmond and many things to do in the area. The property was very nice and clean! We would definitely stay again!
We were in town for a basketball tournament with our two teenagers. This property was perfect! There was plenty of room to spread out and the neighborhood was very quiet.
Great location to local restaurants and local attractions. The host was very responsive in providing information about the property. Plus, my boys loved the pool table.
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.
The property was wonderful. James had everything we needed there and then some. It was just the two of us but a grandaughter and great grandson came down for 3 of our days. He loved the bunk beds and the two bathrooms were great. Beds were very comfortable and home was nicely decorated.
