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).

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

3rd Stay Here

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.

16 people MAX

The Mansion was nice for our family, but it was distressing that we could not all gather for one meal at the mansion, as the owner was insistent that NO more than 16 people be at the Mansion for ANY reason. If you don't mind NOT being able to have more than 16 to gather for a meal, then the Mansion would work for you. It did have 8 Bedrooms, so that did accommodate our family.

Beautiful house

House and grounds are beautiful. Felt like it could’ve been stocked better with paper towels, toilet paper, dish towels and the ice maker wasn’t working so they did bring some bags of ice. The pool needs work. It looks dirty on the pool bottom because the surface is in need of work.They came to service the pool on the hottest day we were there in the middle of the afternoon so that finished our pool time and it was cold and windy the remainder of our stay so that was disappointing. I would hope the pool could be serviced and ready to use sometime the day or two before we arrived I agreed to a day we were there because it was supposed to be done at 10 am rather than 3pm as it happened. The beds were very comfortable, furnishings great and it’s an easy walk to downtown to get a Starbucks.

Such a gorgeous home and outdoor area. It was perfect for our large group of friends. We gathered for a golf & wine tasting weekend. The home was equipped with everything we needed. The host was very responsive to answer any questions. The pool area and covered patio was lovely for relaxing evenings. Thank you!!!

Best place we’ve ever stayed!

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!

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.

Historic mansion review

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.
