We have stayed at the Historic Mansion several times and every time we look forward to the next. The house is spacious and well stocked for cooking. The house is always clean and free of maintenance issues. Our favorite feature is the pool/hot tub. Looking forward to staying again!
We had a great adults only family reunion over 4th of July weekend. The property was beautiful and well situated for exploring the town. The communication with the property manager was excellent. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The location was convenient and we were even able to use the pool in late April. The water was a bit cool but a quick text to the property manager resolved that. Check in and check out were seamless.
We stayed for 6 amazing days and it was bliss! Walking distance to nearly everything in town, beautiful neighborhood, perfectly warmed pool and hot tub, very clean, abundant linens and towels, nice bedrooms, spacious shared areas, streaming abilities on a huge TV, responsive managers; the list goes on and on. A lot of thought and care went into this place and it shows. The AC kept us nice cool in 90, great outdoor seating and we pretty much lived in the pool (fully fenced which was a huge comfort with our little ones) . If you’re lucky enough to have a chance to stay at this property - book it and you will not regret it!The pictures don’t do it justice - it far exceed our expectations on every level. Can’t wait to come and stay again next summer; best stay ever!
Beautiful Walla Walla home walking distance to town and Whitman College
We stayed at this beautiful home for our reunion weekend. It was so nice to have a lovely spacious home for our group to come back to and relax in together.
Restored mansion, quiet street, close to town center
History (hardwood floors, grand piano) with modern amenities (hot tub and heated pool), only 0.5 miles to Main Street tasting rooms, groceries, restaurants and shopping. Plenty of beds and bathrooms, most on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Off the street parking and lovely grounds. We had a very comfortable stay and a great time. Thank-you Barbara (owner) and Stefanie (property manager).
The property and host were both wonderful. The property is exceptionally well appointed. We cooked two big dinners for a large group and found nearly everything we needed to pull off great meals. I highly recommend this property.
We truly enjoyed our stay at The Grand Tudor home! It is beautiful, well-appointed and both Barbara and Shannon were available if needed, making sure our visit was wonderful. We look forward to staying here again soon!
This was our favorite location yet in Walla Walla. The mansion was absolutely beautiful with a huge pool that included all the amenities. The owner and property manager responded quickly and the house had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay with our friends and family. We can’t wait for our next visit!
We visited in summer and loved the open spaces around the pool and on the patio for informal daytime gatherings. The pool was wonderful for family play. The kitchen and adjacent spaces worked very well for our evening gatherings. The property is light, spacious, and fun to explore. The neighborhood is great for walks and has easy access to downtown.
This house was stunningly beautiful in every way. It was well equipped with all of the essentials needed for our trip. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone.
If you’re looking to stay in Walla Walla and you have a large family, being all together is the best! The accommodations are lovely from time-period furnishings to the gourmet kitchen and a lovely private back yard with lounging area and pool. In town location is perfect to walk to fine dining, shopping and wine tasting. Thanks to the host for also being great with communication prior to and during our stay!
This home is absolutely gorgeous, and we were all very comfortable. The location is perfect for walking to and from Main Street for food, drinks and shopping plus it’s a beautiful walk! We enjoyed time in the pool and tub after wine tasting as well. Absolutely perfect spot for a large group and the hosts are super responsive and helpful! Highly recommend if you’re coming to the area!
the pool had some issues that were being worked on to resolve and the oven and grill needed some attention, but other than that we loved everything else this old beautiful house had to offer. We loved the pool area and the upgraded kitchen was a gathering place for all. Easy walking to downtown for wine tasting and short drive to golf course.

A wonderful stay
This stay in Walla Walla could not have been better The host Marysia was ever so kind showing us around the a home that is quite large. My wife and I felt the redectorrating by Nicks wife was ever so well done ( we know people that were there 15 yrs ago and it was not so nearly well done ) Nick the owner is very easy to work with so I wouldn't hesitate to call him if you have a special situation
This is our 3rd week-long stay in this great Walla Walla house in the past 4 years. Every time has been perfect. From check-in to check-out, days swimming in the pool, walking to downtown restaurants and tasting rooms, visiting wineries, etc. We love visiting Walla Walla, and this house is perfect for our large, three-generation group. I highly recommend it.
