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.

Great Multi Family House
Really nice for more than one family. There are 3 different areas for private sleeping and bathing with large kitchen and dining area for gathering. There are also sitting areas for quiet time. The host is extremely helpful when communicating by email with any questions about the house before you arrive. We had no reason to contact her after arrival as the place is wonderful. Thanks for a great stay........Sandy

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.

We had a great weekend in hot and sunny Walla Walla! The terrific air conditioning greeted us as we came through the door, and everyone had fun choosing a bedroom from the main floor, upstairs and full basement. The house is extremely well stocked with everything you need. The location is superb and a short distance to downtown. We would definitely come and stay again!

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!

Wine Tasting Getaway with Europe Travel Friends
We stayed here 8 years ago. It is exactly the same. It was still a good place for our group of travel friends from Oregon and Washington. The house isn't upscale at all. Cozy is probably the best description. The kitchen is fully equipped. The welcome wine was a nice touch. We wish that it had more living room seating so that all 6 of us could visit comfortably to chat. We were all able to sit around the large kitchen table, but couches and comfy chairs would've been better. Other than that, it was still a good place.

Comfy stay in wine country
The house was amazingly well stocked with everything you might want on a vacation. There is a little bit of a musty smell as you walk in the front door, but it is an old house and it quickly dissipates with the doors and windows open. There is tons of space For together time and getting away from each other time. The fenced backyard was fabulous for our fur babies. Neighborhood is great only minutes from downtown Walla Walla and walking around the neighborhood. Seeing the great old homes was fun.
Great Communication with the owner.
We will definitely be back!

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.
