We had a wonderful stay here for the month. The home was perfect; cozy, warm (with it's fireplace:), well-appointed, ideal for a couple (young or old). Within a few days we were referring to our rental as our "home". Russ and JoAnn were very gracious hosts. Location was great; wonderful views, walking-distance to downtown, walking/hiking/running just out the front door. Without a doubt we would rent here again.

We had an excellent stay at La Dolce Vita - perfect for a couple's getaway. We were within walking distance to plays, restaurants, yet in a quiet neighborhood. We took advantage of the great mountain biking in the Ashland Watershed, just up hill. The place is in perfect condition, and we highly recommend it.

Great place to stay -- perfect walking distance from the plays, quiet neighborhood, and the cottage itself was really comfortable. The Manzones were gracious and checked to make sure everything was going well. Highest recommendation.

The moment I walked into this stunning cottage, I knew I was in for a heavenly treat. I was VERY sad to leave when my 2-month stay ended, as everything about this place supported my need for a deep rest and relaxation--My experience at the cottage was many times beyond my initial expectation and I would love to return for another visit. A secret for future visitors: I wouldn't call this a cottage but more of a mini-chalet! Everything is extremely tastefully appointed, from the lovely furniture you see in the photos to the stunning stone shower place. La Dolce Vita is located in one of the best locations in town within a very easy, walking distance access (4 blocks or so) to the sweet downtown area with shops and theatre-- but also 2 blocks from a tremendous set of walking trails parallel to the most energy-filled park in the nation-- Lithia Park. The view is spectacular from the windows and even though the cottage is conveniently in town, it feels like you are nestled in a secluded location. I also really appreciated Russ and Jo Ann. The owners are lovely people and very courteous of my needs, not to mention that you can feel the loving attention they give to the cottage. Any one who gets to stay here is lucky, believe me. -- Pauline T.

My wife and I wanted to get a flavor of what beautiful Ashland had to offer. We wanted to stay in an area that was walking distance to town and all that it had to offer. A 5 minute walk down the hill to the town center and the Shakespeare Festival became a welcomed journey at the end of the day. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Russ and Joann were the perfect hosts, and went overboard to make our stay comfortable. Very private and comfortable with a beautiful view of Ashland and the adjacent valley from the front porch was an excellent place to relax from the days activities. We stayed for 5 weeks and would recommend without reservation this lovely little home away from home.

A lovely oasis in the mountains of Ashland. Your hospitality was healing for us. We truly were able to realx in this quiet, comfortable home. Every wish we had for comforts of home were filled. Thank you for creating this. We felt "sheltered." We would recommend and definitely come back.

This is the sweetest vacation rental! It may be a one bedroom cottage but it is not short on space. It's a perfectly cozy house with wonderful views of Ashland, and if you're up for it a short walk into downtown. We had a great time and will definitely check for availablity next time we visit.

Like my own private mountain villa...peaceful, incredible views..every amenity that I needed. Russ and Joann were like little elves appearing when I needed them and gone when I didn't. Stayed in other houses in Ashland... none of them compared to this.

Our best ever vacation rental! We truly felt 'at home' in your lovely, peaceful, comfortable haven. Everything was perfect and we did, indeed, enjoy La Dolce Vita. You were most attentive, accommodating hosts and we greatly look forward to a return visit.
