About this property

Bella Vida | Historic Home Steps from Downtown

Bring the whole crew together under one roof at Bella Vida, a spacious five-bedroom home just two blocks from Main Street Walla Walla. Whether it’s a weekend with friends, a family gathering or a wine country getaway, there’s room for up to 12 guests to stay together—and downtown is an easy walk from your front door.

Originally built in 1904, Bella Vida spans three levels and approximately 3,500 square feet, with multiple living spaces that give a larger group plenty of room to gather as well as space to spread out.

The well-equipped kitchen makes cooking together easy, while the formal dining room gives everyone a seat at the table. After a day of wine tasting or exploring downtown, come home to the living room, settle into the downstairs TV den, or take dinner outside to the private patio.

And one of Bella Vida’s biggest perks: you can leave the cars behind for the evening. Main Street’s tasting rooms, restaurants, shops and cafés are just two blocks away.

For a Walla Walla trip where being together is part of the experience, Bella Vida gives your group the space—and the location—to make the most of it.

We fell in love with this house immediately we wanted to buy it. It was perfect for my nine family members who all came into Walla Walla for my son‘s wedding. My grandchildren absolutely loved the downstairs having their own space playing with the Wii. I loved having coffee out on the back patio in the morning with my sister and brother-in-law and husband and niece this place could not have been more beautiful and more perfect. We kept looking at each other and around the living room and saying I love this house! I would love to see a photo album of before and after the remodel, but everything you could possibly want is here and it is right in the center of everything. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this beautiful home thank you so much. It was a perfect stay.

The listing was accurate. Check in was seamless. I had a question during our stay that was answered immediately. The home is in good repair. My only very small input would be to put some high visibility tape or paint on the stairs from the house to Cherry Street. We have senior citizens in our group.. I recommend this property!

I went with 6 of my girlfriends for a wine tasting trip and the Bella Vida it was the perfect place and location for us. It was very clean with beautiful decorations and bedding, kitchen well-stocked and spacious enough for a few of us to enjoy cooking together. A lot of thoughtful amenities were placed throughout the house. The location was so perfect! We enjoyed the short walk into town for dinner, wine tastings and shopping. The host kept me up to date with my reservation and gave me very useful information on local activities, and replied very quickly when I had a question about the barbecue. We enjoyed the nice town and plan to come back again for another girlfriend trip and stay at the Bella Vida. Absolutely recommend this beautiful, comfy home!

Bella Vida was perfect!!

We stayed at Bella Vida on the weekend of Whitman's graduation. We had a full house of relatives and friends. Bella Vida was the perfect place to entertain and call home. It's well stocked, beautiful and extremely comfortable. When we come to Walla Walla with a group we will definitely try to stay at Bella Vida.

Great house!

Rented this adorable house for a birthday getaway with a group of friends. There were 5 couples and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Great location and walking distance to town. It was clean, well equipped, has comfortable beds and plenty of common areas for us to hang out. We spent a lot of time on the patio and visiting on the front porch. We would book again in a heartbeat.
