About this property

A charming townhome next to park and trails, close to downtown

Just a 2-3 minute drive to historic downtown Ellensburg or a 10 minute walk with a variety of local restaurants, enticing shops, art galleries and grocery stores, this modern and private detached guesthouse by the park, the "Gorgeous George," is a tribute to the late George Rominger, a prominent trucker in the area who was the original owner of the property this house was built on.

This thoughtfully designed 1 bedroom/1 bath guesthouse above a detached garage is within walking distance to several parks, including West Ellensburg park with pickle ball courts and Rotary Park, which features baseball fields, soccer fields, walking routes, a bike park, basketball court and an off-leash dog park. In the winter the soccer fields are groomed for cross country skiing which extends to the walking trails adjacent to Rotary Park. A lake "People's Pond/Irene Reinhardt" with swimming and more trails is adjacent to the park. It's a 10-15 minute walk or few minutes drive.

Enjoy a full kitchen, wifi, smart TV and your own washer/dryer, and full bath with shower to make your stay as comfy as possible. Mini-split air conditioner/heating. The bedroom has a queen bed and the living room sofa folds out easily futon style into a double bed that could sleep one adult or two (snugly). There is also an electric auto inflatable queen air mattress with firmness adjustment stored in the bedroom closet. Though technically The Gorgeous George can sleep 4, it is better suited for 1-3 adults.

Great mid term rental for traveling nurses and other medical personnel, professors, and other professionals looking for a private, modern, fully furnished, comfortable and convenient place for stays of a couple of weeks to 6 months. There are discounts for stays of 1 week, 2 weeks and 1 month or more. Please inquire about these rates. For stays of a month or more you'll have a starter set of paper products, bath products, coffee, tea, cleaning products and trash bags.

Dogs under 40 lbs are welcome, some breeds not allowed (no pitbulls, German Shepard, Rottweilers, Akitas and some others). There is no cleaning fee. Guests are expected to leave The Gorgeous George tidy upon departure and free of pet hair and damage.

The Main house is adjacent but your privacy will be respected. There is room for one vehicle to park off-street. If you need to bring a second vehicle please contact me. Though listed as sleeping 4, please be aware this is one queen bedroom and one double fold out sofa/futon. There is a queen air mattress that could go very snugly in front of the couch. The Gorgeous George is better suited for 1-3 people.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Conyers

Host profile image
I'm from Alaska and have traveled to most states in the U.S. and many countries abroad. I've been hosting travelers at another short term/vacation rental in Mazama, WA for several years. I love providing a comfortable place for people to unwind for their vacation or after a work day for those traveling for work. My day job is a massage therapist. If you'd like to book a massage during your stay at The Gorgeous George in Ellensburg just message me and we can arrange this depending on availability.

Why they chose this property

I love the funky, unpretentious vibe of "Dogtown"/West Ellensburg. Great location just steps from a huge park with a dog park, sports courts, including pickleball, and walking trails. When there's enough snow you can cross country ski at this park just a block away.

What makes this property unique

New, clean and modern in a neighborhood with charm, a couple of minutes to downtown, CWU and a block from parks. Affordable and no cleaning fee. Cool view of an old brick school building that now is apartments.
