Ashland Outdoors

Last spring, we had the privilege of seeing a pair of twin fawns born in our backyard! It was a  profoundly moving experience, and reminded us that living inside a wildlife overlay is a pretty awesome experience—there’s something magical about being surrounded by nature and catching glimpses of local wildlife right outside your door.

That said, there are a few things to keep in mind during your stay with us that will help keep nature in balance. For example, it’s a good idea not to leave food or garbage outside overnight—curious critters like raccoons or even bears might decide to pay a visit. Feeding wildlife, even if it seems harmless, can actually cause problems for them down the road. And if you’re out driving, especially early or late in the day, just keep an eye out—animals don’t always look both ways. It’s all part of living in harmony with the landscape, and honestly, that’s part of what makes it so great.
