Spent two nights at the Jessel House and would agree a 3* review is most appropriate. The…read morepositives would be the location is within walking distance {1+ mile} of downtown and the property itself {patio and outdoor firepit area} are beautiful. The Homeowner was very responsive during VRBO communication and sent a very lovely RSVP via mail to confirm our stay. The not so positives - walking in the house it appears to be both neat and clean, but once settled in that's not the case. There are cobwebs everywhere and all of the furnishings and the house in general needs to be more thoroughly cleaned and dusted throughout. There was mold in the shower and on the tiles and also on the inner shower curtains in both bathrooms - this needs to be addressed@ Our reservation was for six and there were only two rolls of tp in each of the bathrooms which we quickly ran out of. The furnishings are a bit outdated and the two twin beds in particular really {really} need new more comfortable mattresses - they're very hard and not very comfortable. We had no hot water at all the first morning of our stay. We contacted the house manager first thing in the morning, who did eventually reply after about an hour of calling and texting. The Homeowner, who we also called when we couldn't reach the house manager, did not respond to our call. House manager did finally respond and open access to the downstairs flat so that we could shower which we greatly appreciated. Apparently, a breaker had tripped but once reset we did have hot water for the remainder of our stay. Overall, I really think a thorough and deep cleaning, updated mattresses and ensuring the home is equipped for the number of guests staying here this would have easily been a four-star review.

Friends and I wanted to spend a week in Ashland, but started planning way too late (2 months in…read moreadvance)....everything was taken except for the Jessel House. So we plunked down $1700 for the week to rent the upper unit (3 bedrooms, 2 baths), and were sorely disappointed. It's an old house that is in great need of updating. The landlord and handyman had to come over 3 times during our stay! They had to fix a long list of items: running and leaking toilets and swamp cooler, dull rusty knives, doors that stuck or didn't close, inadequate and dirty linens and blankets, a nest of bees outside (with frequent visitors inside), funky furnishings and beds that had seen better days, a spotty wi-fi. The owner was prompt to come over, but would argue about repairs or our suggestions to improve. He did finally fix most of the problems, but we ended our stay with a vow never to return. For the money, it was far below the quality of most vacation rentals. We did think the location was nice (7-8 blocks from the OSF), quiet, and with a decent yard.
