The Inn

The Inn was built in 1904 for William and Ella Breeden. In 1916, James and Carrie Hersey purchased the house, and five generations of their family lived here until it was sold in 1974. It was restored and converted into a bed & breakfast in 1983. The Olde Globe Cottage, built in the 1940s, was remodeled in 2005 and accommodates groups of up to six, making it possible for families with children of all ages to enjoy everything Ashland has to offer.

The morning sun warms the front porch on the main house inviting you to read, write postcards or play a friendly game from our guest library. At sunset it’s the perfect spot to watch the light play on the hills across the Rogue Valley. Our deck at the side of the house is shaded by an ancient sycamore tree where you can enjoy a picnic lunch or take an afternoon nap.

The gardens are filled with color most of the year, from March when the cherry tree is in full bloom, through September when the Concord grapes are ripening and the colors and fragrances are deep and rich.

Hersey House is located in Ashland’s Historic District, a short walk from the Plaza, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and beautiful Lithia Park
