There are not many hotel and vacation rental options near Ashland University, especially ones that allow pets. The “Quiet Shiloh Retreat” met our needs for moving our daughter back in at AU and bringing our dog. It’s about the same quality as a Super 8 or Motel 6. There are a few things to note about this property: It’s old. The beds and furnishings, cabinets/counters, etc. are worn and dated, but everything is about as clean as a budget motel. As others have mentioned, there is no tv and the wifi is not great, but you’re out in the country. It’s peaceful. There were some things that were not as advertised. The place does not have central AC or heat, just old, small window AC units in two of the bedrooms, old baseboards, and two gas fireplaces. Hand soap and bath mats in the bathroom and paper towels in the kitchen were not provided. The house does NOT have a keyless entry. The owner just leaves the front door unlocked for your arrival with a key hanging inside. The door from the house to the garage does not have a lock at all. The rate is fair for 3 bedrooms, but the fees are way too high for cleaning (and it was not really clean), for the pet fee (advertised on VRBO at one price, but charged more, and damage protection, which is all in addition to the nightly rate and the VRBO fee. So, for 2 nights the fees double the cost. It was the only available option for our dates in the area, but we likely won’t choose to stay here again. It’s pretty mediocre.
