The Rambler was gorgeous! Such a fun house to stay in while we were visiting our family. The house was spotless, everything was easy to access and clearly labeled, and the beds were very comfortable. The heated floors were a nice bonus during a very cold winter. Would have loved the outdoors spaces in warmer months.

Great house, amazing vibe!

Our group stayed in Ashland for a softball tournament! I was so happy to find this home, the modern retro vibe was so fun. This home was perfect for our group, the amazing backyard was perfect for playing games and the nature trail also was such a pleasant surprise.

The Rambler is an AMAZING home-away-from-home! It is very roomy and comfortable in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Aubrey and Aaron have decorated in such a fun, colorful way with great large and small touches. It was also so appreciated to have a nice selection of coffees and teas available as well as the necessary filters and coffee makers on hand. There was also a great variety of quick breakfast items and some yummy snacks. All info was presented in an easy-to-use book. Aubrey answered my questions quickly via the VRBO app. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Excellent Family Gathering Place

We came to Ashland to celebrate an early Christmas with family with 7 out of town family members. The Rambler was perfect in terms of space, fully equipped kitchen, ample bedrooms and bathrooms with plenty of supplies. The retro and music-themed decor of the Rambler was so unique too! We had a wonderful stay and will be back for sure!

Amazing location and stay, despite lack of communication

The property is amazing! Stay here! Lovely, clean accommodations, large bedrooms, I loved the woods, the amazing neighborhood, and easy walk to AU. Our family of 10 stayed here comfortably. The piano was out of tune which was a real bummer, and hostess was not communicative during our stay. But on the whole, we would definitely book again!

About the host

Hosted by Aubrey Bates

Host profile image
Aaron and Aubrey are mult-hyphenates as serial-entrepreneurs, community-centered, family-focused, adventurers and embracers of the fulness of life. They are ramblers in the truest sense of the word. A rambler is one who wanders, but not without direction. Ramblers take the paths that appear to them, not needing a map, not within a time-frame. The way appears before them and they step upon it. Each path, each vista, more expansive to the soul than the one before. From the outside looking in, their way may not make sense. It may appear crazy, even. But the rambler IS on a path-- usually one of his own making. Aaron and Aubrey have 3 teenage children who journey with them, as well as a dog, 3 cats and a turtle. They invite you into their Rambler- a place that provides a sense of home base where journeying can happen without needing to travel far.
