Had a lovely time. The cottage was warm and welcoming when we arrived. The reservation process was seamless, and Whitney was friendly and response to questions after the booking and before our stay started. The location is quiet and lovely. Not too far from Ashland. I'd stay there again.

I loved this quaint, fully equipped home with a really nice yard and laundry/mud room. It was warm, cozy and my cats and I felt right at home. Gold Hill is a tiny town tight on the Rogue River with lots of buildings that have stood the test of time. Very quiet. I would stay here again. Check in was easy, the host was very accommodating. I enjoyed my stay and loved the way the home was rustic and modern. Really nice place.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello! We are locals with a great love of Southern Oregon and all it has to offer. We enjoy camping, tasting the local wine and attending local concerts.

Why they chose this property

Southern Oregon has always been our home. Gold Hill offers a tranquil, small town feel, with easy access to the interstate and nearby Medford and Grants Pass. The Rogue River runs through the area which is surrounded by historical buildings and a glimpse into early America.

What makes this property unique

The cottage was built in 1930 following a large fire that destoyed a lot of original homes in Gold Hill. Its former self was a one room cottage featuring only a wood stove.
