As the name suggests the house sits on the edge of a meadow with beautiful views including Mount Ashland and the Siskiyous. The Meadow House was built in 1987 by a Buddhist nun. The care and attention to detail in the placement and building of the house makes for a serene and idyllic setting, reflecting the goal of providing temporary quarters for the Rinpoche, leader of the Buddhist Temple.
The house comfortably sleeps up to six (more on the floor if you choose).
The master guest suite features a King size bed, writing desk, walk-in closet with a child's bed, adjoining bathroom with shower.
The basement "family room" has extra beds, and separate entrance, writing desk, and DISH TV. Other modern facilities include washer, dryer, dishwasher, and utility sink. The full kitchen has a microwave, toaster oven, electric stove. And there's WiFi internet and fax links, and television if you have to stay connected with the world outside.
The main floor features the kitchen, and combination dining and living room with a sofa bed -- extra cozy with the nearby wood stove -- in addition to the second bathroom, laundry, and a piano in the foyer.
The house boasts extensive LP, CD audio, video, and DVD collections. Curl up on the couch in front of the toasty wood stove with a book from the library that we trust will serve you well whatever your tastes and interests, from science to personal growth, from health to art and photography and popular to classical to new age music. The piano is an added feature with a variety of music from beginner to expert.
To be active or not to be active that is the question.
The choice is yours! The mythical State of Jefferson (Northern California and Southern Oregon) has much to offer from the sublime to adrenaline pumping. Your choices include: do nothing; read or listen to music, meditate or contemplate, walk, hike, jog or run. Other activities include rock climbing, river rafting, downhill or cross-country skiing, home cooking or fine dining, enjoying the theatre or a concert and much more. The Siskiyous are host to many trail heads giving access to the Pacific Crest Trail, Pilot Rock and Mt. Ashland. River raft or kayak the wild and scenic rivers of the Rogue or Klamath rivers, each with stretches that vary from sedate to thrilling.
Ski the Mt Ashland Ski and Snowboard Resort. With advance booking, attend The Oregon Shakespeare Festival and other theatre and performance venues; the Britt Music Festival (in season) for a vibrant cultural experience in nearby Ashland and Jacksonville. Within the valley: a visit to Tashi Choling, a Tibetan Buddhist Temple and Statue Garden is an absolute must and only a short walk from the Meadow House. The valley remained untouched by glaciation and holds many unique plant varieties.
Great opportunities to see eagles, wild turkeys, bluebirds, swallows, deer, elk, bobcats, coyotes -- all kinds of animal and bird-watching abound for the patient observer. The usually clear skies afford excellent night sky viewing of the Milky Way, planets, constellations, and meteor showers.
The Meadow House offers You a unique experience!
