Beautiful historic home

This historic home is beautiful inside and out. It has very nice furniture and a well stocked kitchen. It’s located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and has lots of nice little touches - like a free bottle of local wine - that make it a special place. This home is the perfect base to visit the many wonderful wineries in Walla Walla. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Perfect Craftsman

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The owner is super easy to work with and answers questions in a timely manner! The house was clean, just as described, and we’d stay there again in a heartbeat! The house is actually bigger than the pictures suggest. I forgot something when we left, and the owner is shipping it to me! Just an all around fantastic experience! You won’t be disappointed!!

Lovely charming home

My husband and I rented this charming house for a weekend in October with two other couples. The house was very well equipped with all essentials. There are cute little seating areas for some quiet time, a fully fenced yard for the dogs, and great entertaining spaces as well. The bedrooms are spacious and so cozy, and the house has three full bathrooms. Location is walking distance to downtown. We loved getting up early and taking the dogs on long walks around the town. The host was so easy to get in touch with and the instructions were all very clear. We had no issues at all and we had a truly lovely stay.

Good stay in Walla Walla!

PROs: Renovated old house with lots of character and great detail. Roomy fenced yard, great for dogs (we ended up not bringing ours). Quaint neighborhood, ample driveway street parking. Very roomy for three couples (a 4th bedroom is available, but single beds). Each couple can enjoy privacy (bedrooms/ bathrooms on 1st & 2nd floor, and basement). Cool fireplace.CONs: My mother-in-law commented on cleanliness, which I noted can be an issue with most dog-friendly older houses. 1 mile to downtown, which could be an enjoyable stroll, but it mostly rained during our stay. Located on fairly loud street.Bottom line: We'd stay again if bringing our dog. Otherwise, we'd want to be closer to downtown wineries/ restaurants.

Wedding weekend

Our family came from across the country for a wedding. The 7 of us were very comfortable at the home. With bedrooms and bathrooms divided across 3 floors, we had ample privacy. It was wonderful to have coffee and wine available upon arrival. The back porch also provided a great outdoor social space. We would definitely highly recommend! Just two notes: The AC system is uneven, so the basement is cold, the ground floor is comfortable, and the upstairs is quite warm; in addition, the shower in the basement is built in such a way that the ceiling inside the shower is very low, making it a bit awkward for anyone over 5’6”. Despite these “old house” quirks, it is a lovely home with very responsive hosts!!!!!!!!

A home base for exploring Walla Walla

The four of us are retired geology professors who enjoy wine and golf and good food, and this home has great access to all three. Very clean and well maintained home, this is a classic craftsman from the early 1900's with lots of beautiful hardwood and trim throughout. The home has four bedrooms (plus room for additional sleepers) plus a full bath all levels (three total) - comfortable beds and lots of outlets for everyone's charger habit. Kitchen was well appointed with all the modern conveniences, and there is a back deck, patio, and yard with gas grill (was too chilly for us this time). It's maybe a mile's walk to downtown. The neighborhood is full of similarly well kept period homes - I think we also hit peak flowering dogwood time as there are beautiful old and large flowering dogwoods all around this neighborhood and beyond. Quick and simple access to both the southside and eastside/airport wineries. We hope to be back!

Best for shorter folks as the tub/shower combo is barely 6 feet from floor of tub to ceiling. Utilizes a handheld sprayer.Overall an excellent value and location

We are 4 best friends for decades who seek a rendezvous location every couple of years. We hit the Jackpot with this charming home in the heart of Walla Walla! It was like walking into our Grandma's home! The open central kitchen and large dining table was perfect for sharing dinners and catching up. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms we had privacy yet plenty of central space for gathering. The host is an amazing communicator! Each time I texted she was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed morning walks to nearby Pioneer Park -- gotta love that! The kitchen is very well stocked and the TV room downstairs offers plenty of cozy seating and a game table. We absolutely enjoyed every minute of our stay! This home would be great for a family or even two with it's three levels, patio with barbecue and just a minute or two to downtown shops and restaurants. We will keep this charmer at the top of the list for our next getaway.

Perfect house for wine tasting tour

I did have some trouble with VRBO and my reservation. I made a mistake on my e-mail address, so was having difficulty in getting the reservation confirmed. The host really helped me with giving me a phone number to contact VRBO, so I could fix the mistake. The house is exactly as described. The kitchen is amazing with everything you would ever need. Rooms are large and spacious. The outdoor patio was a wonderful place for us to gather any time of day. It's close to downtown and wineries. Loved that we could ride bikes to town and wineries.
