Callahan's Mountain Lodge

Loved the spacious room, it was a breath of fresh air! Everything was sparkling clean, which is always a plus. The only downside? That AC could drown out a symphony! It made it a little hard to relax, especially at night. Overall though, a really nice stay.

Callahan's has been on my list of places to stay, but I was concerned that it wasn't close enough to the theatre district, which is the main reason for going to Ashland. While it's a short drive, it's also a pleasant drive. The rooms have all the amenities that you would expect in any hotel. I was particularly impressed with the staff, who were all pleasant and helpful. The rooms might be just a tad dated, but that really adds to the charm of the lodge. (I don't think I've stayed in a mountain lodge that wasn't just a tad dated.) The continental breakfasts are outstanding and bountiful. The grounds are well maintained and the flowers everywhere are lovely. I would definitely stay here again.

Our room was #12 which is directly below the dining room. So we were awakened every morning at 6:30 am by the terrible noise from above. On our last night we were awakened at 2:30 am by the same noise. We called the front desk and complained and it got better but we could still here someone moving around above us. Additionally, the jacuzzi in our room had to be operated by getting under the bathroom sink and resetting the GFI switch. Then to turn it off we had to reverse the procedure. Also, our TV controller didn't work properly. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the entertainment very much. We would come back but definitely would ask for a different room.
