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).

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.

Delightfully Grand Manor

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!

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.

Grand Experience

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!

Never wanted to leave

Eleven friends, one weekend, no kids! We booked this house for a wine tasting weekend, and we are now old enough that we can’t handle weekends on fold-out couches. The property was a dream, it really is just as beautiful as it looks in the listing, there’s no exaggeration. Even with three bedrooms on one floor, you can’t hear anyone else, the AC kept things wonderfully cool, and we had enough spaces for small or large group hangouts. The pool was the perfect temperature and we spent hours every day in it, and the yard and gardens are wonderfully established and beautiful. We felt secluded but we were half a mile from downtown, and it was easy to get to the highway to go out to wineries. Shannon, the property manager, was so helpful and responsive when we had questions, and even offered to bake our lasagna at her place when the oven wasn’t working! She was very responsive and we were so grateful for

Retirement

Eight of us enjoyed our visit immensely. We played golf, (love Wine Valley), ate, wine tasted, and celebrated a very special mans career. The house was selected to reflect this career, in excellent condition, all of the necessities and of course, like the individual, old and stately. We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful Stay In Walla Walla

The property was as beautiful as advertised. Incredible space for a large group with great walkability. When our group originally booked the listing had included laundry availability as well as access to a Tiki Bar lounge; neither of these amenities were available upon our arrival. The listing has been updated and accurately reflects the conveniences the house provides.
