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.

Guest Access:

Guests at the Whistle Stop enjoy the contactless guest entry and large driveway with off-street parking for two vehicles.

Other Things To Note:

Fire pit ring and firewood in the backyard with folding lawn chairs located in the side storage closet - Cornhole boards (Bags) also located in this outside storage closet.

The exterior of the property is protected with two (2) Arlo security cameras that have motion activated flood lights, so you can feel safe and secure during your stay with us.

Kings Dominion Trip
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!

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!

Stayed for Train Day
Great place to relax and unwind. Very user friendly and room for everyone to have their own space, but also able to have time together. Worked great for us and felt like home. Easy to walk into the center of town. James was great and responded quickly to a small issue we encountered even though it was getting late. Will definitely consider staying again.

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.
