Best in Walla Walla!!!

Our family has been coming to the Valley for the last 7 years. We have rented a number of large vacation rentals. The ALL SEASONS FIVE STAR RETREAT is truly Five Star Accomodations. It is by far the cleanest rental!! The owner was gracious and accomodating and greeted us when we finally arrived. My jaw dropped when we walked through the front door - AMAZING. The house has everything you could ever need (except for food - which isn't supplied anyway) but there was a huge variety of cooking oils and spices and every kind of cooking utensil and dish imaginable. The house has 6 bedrooms and small sunroom converted into a 7th bedroom. Our family loved this huge estate and we have already booked our return visit next year. The owner also gave us a special "great guest" discount on our return booking because we left the kitchen like we found it. I never write reviews online, but we were so impressed and appreciative that we just had to express our gratitude. The All Seasons Five Star Retreat should charge a lot more per night compared to what we have rented in the past! Thank you Trisha for providing such a beautiful rental and thank you for the welcome gifts you left us.

Perfect Home for our vacation

My husband and I brought our kids and my folks with us to Walla Walla for a week. This home was absolutely perfect. Immaculate, large, inviting, and very comfortable. We all had plenty of room and the owners were very attentive to our needs. The property is huge and the beds were wonderful for sleeping. It couldn't have worked out any better. I highly recommend this house... it's situated on a lovely piece of property with beautiful views. We loved it!

Owner response:You were wonderful guests. Thank you for staying with us and taking such good care of the property. You are welcome anytime and we will honor the rate we quoted you when you stayed with us. Plus, we always enjoy having golf celebrities stay as guests. Have the boys send their autographed photos and I will put them up in the sports room!

Huge, roomy house with 6+ sleeping rooms. Definitely an incredible value. Cleanest place our group of 8 has ever stayed. Owner was great to work with. Quiet and peaceful in a serene setting. Everything we could possibly need could be found in this story book Tudor! Geared more for sophisticated and conscientious groups. We would have paid double the rates once we saw the place. Truly an amazing weekend getaway and definitely the best VRBO out there.

We just stayed at the biggest vacation rental we were able to find in Walla Walla. EXTREMELY clean. Only rental we have stayed at that has an enormous supply of disposable utensils for those of us who hate doing dishes - LOL! Supplies included coffee, bottled water, gourmet soap, shampoo and conditioner along with everything else you could possibly need. It was just like a hotel only better with the wine and treats they welcomed us with. The reservation process was flawless and check in was even easier. Good Property Manager - we had one issue with trying to work the TV and they sent someone right over to help us.

Owner response:Thank you ~ we so enjoyed having you as guests.

A Most Accommodating Retreat

Guest: Audrie (Bonney Lake, WA)
Date of Stay: 10/11/10 Review Submitted: 12/13/10

This home provided the perfect setting for our group of 10 to kick back and catch up with each others' lives. The well stocked kitchen had plenty of counter space and side seating area to make it the hub of our activities but the huge dining table made it a comfortable place for long meals and conversation. The beds were comfortable and the baths were stocked with big, fluffy towels and quality soaps and shampoos. The location was perfect for wine touring/tasting, exploring the area and just walking the beautiful neighborhood. Although we didn't have children with us, it was obvious that the home was stocked with games for kids. If you are looking for a place to stay in Washington's wine country, this is it!!

Relaxing place in Walla Walla

Guest: J and B (Seattle, Washington)
Date of Stay: 10/11/10 Review Submitted: 12/10/10

We stayed with 4 other couples for a three day reunion. Each couple had a lovely room. Everything was very neat and clean and well-thought out. The kitchen was well-stocked and wonderful to use with plenty of room in the large kitchen for everyone to help with meal preparation. The house was also large enough that you could find a quiet place to read. We would use this listing again in a minute!

Owner response:Your group is welcome back anytime. We enjoyed having you as our guests!

Fabulous stay at retreat home #190912 in Walla Walla

Guest: Barb (Puyallup, WA)
Date of Stay: 10/11/10 Review Submitted: 12/10/10

The property was in perfect condition when we arrived, welcomed by a wonderful setting with beautifully decorated spacious rooms for our enjoyment. We were able to gather around the huge well appointed kitchen to taste our newyly purchased wine and cheese from the area, enjoy the media room to share travel adventures, sit outside on the patio and take in the views and sleep in very comfortable queen and king sized beds. We stayed in most nights just because the house was so beautiful and the setting made our visit all the more pleasurable. For our five couples it was the vacation we had hoped for much in thanks to the fabulous accommodations we shared. We would return to this lovely home and area in a heart beat.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words and wonderful review. You are welcome back anytime!

Five stars for a FAB FIVE retreat

Guest: Janet (Montrose CO)
Date of Stay: 10/11/10 Review Submitted: 12/10/10

What a gorgeous place for a friends/family retreat! The house was spacious, comfortable, and was well supplied.We were five couples who chose to hang out in and around the house--watching videos, enjoying the cheese and wine we purchased at local establishments, playing games, taking walks in the beautiful and safe neighborhood without worry of traffic, sunning on the patio, having a cookout on the grill that was supplied. The beds were comfy and bathrooms ample as well as beautifully decorated. We couldn't have chosen a better place for our friendship retreat. The management was friendly and accomodating. We fixed gourmet meals and all sat down together at the large dining table. The two fireplaces, multiple TVs, music, books, games, etc. added to the ambiance. The decor--tasteful and imaginative--added to the luxurious feeling of the site. We had a wonderful time just relaxing, being together, and enjoying the nearby wineries and local wine and cheese shops. The location of the retreat is superb--far enough from the highway to be quiet, but only a few minutes from nearby wineries and the highway for zipping right into town. We hope to return to this place soon for another retreat.

Owner response:So glad you had a nice visit. You were excellent guests and welcome back anytime!

Wonderful estate that makes you feel at home

Guest: Enjoying life (Grants Pass, Oregon)
Date of Stay: 07/01/10 Review Submitted: 12/09/10

My family stayed in the beautiful two story home over the fourth of july weekend. It is located in a beautiful community on two acre lots so the neighbors are not right next to you. The views are spectacular with a very large yard for the kids to play in. This community is the Beverly Hills of Walla Walla. The home was immaculate and was comperable to a five star hotel. Every thing was fresh and clean with plenty of supplies and cooking equipment. Every bedroom was decorated differently with lots of sleeping space. It was a very classy but comfortable setting. Lots of games for the kids with satellite tv in the family room and master bedroom. Great bathtubs and large bedrooms. The owner was very professional and friendly and made us feel at home. We were provided information on the best winerys and how to get to them. There was also some wonderful restaurants to go to in town when we didn't feel like cooking. This is a great getaway for either a family or just a group of friends or couples. We will definitely visit again in 2011 and hopefully it will be available. We have stayed in other homes in the walla wallla area and this was definitely the creme of the crop. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who wanted to visit the beautiful valley.

Owner response:Thank you so much! Glad you had a nice time.

Would not Recommend

Guest: Emily (Bend, OR)
Date of Stay: 06/21/10 Review Submitted: 10/21/10

Our exciting wine tasting get-away was incredible, except for our stay in this house. Yes, the house is decorated nice and it sleeps many. But there were significant discrepancies between the amenities promised and the actual comfort level of the home. For example, the rooms are compartmentalized and difficult to "hang out" with a large group; the kitchen is only partially furnished. We did not feel comfortable eating as a group, no area seemed to have enough seats to gather and we had to piece together enough place settings and utensils for a group of 12. Plus, there was not any toilet paper and not enough soap to run the dishwasher - not something you want to think about when you travel on vacation with 12 people! We made the best of the accommodations, however, in the end our group left disappointed. To make matters worse, management of the house was unprofessional and disrespectful to our group. I (and many in our group) have stayed in several VRBO homes, this is the first time I, and none of our group will ever return to this rental.

Owner response:When people are held accountable for damage to someone's home they tend to publish vindictive comments.

Thank you for everything. What a wonderful place to stay and great value. My family and I needed a private get away from our hectic L.A. lifestyle for a week and just relax and wine taste. This unit was ideal for our entourage. It was absolutely immaculate. Thanks again and we will be back again soon!

We had a great alumni weekend at your place. Go Zags! Your house was cozy, clean and fun to kick back in. Your sunsets are quite spectacular. It was hard to leave the peaceful beauty of Walla Walla and the All Seasons Five Star Retreat. We are planning on a second visit, when the husbands are able to manage on their own without us. ~Theresa

The house was absolutely AMAZING. We had friends and family come through during our stay and everyone was in awe of how gorgeous the entire property was. The beds and furniture were so comfortable and everything was immaculately clean. I would recommend this house for a variety of things, family getaways, romantic weekends away, wine tasting and much more. I can't go on enough about the amazing service that was provided to us!

Owner response:So happy this worked for your wedding venue!

Perfect venue to host our Daughters Wedding!

Guest: Mom (College Place, WA)
Date of Stay: 09/19/09 Review Submitted: 10/08/11

This property was beautiful. Had the wedding the middle of Septemeber. Wedding in front yard, reception in the rear. Beautiful views (not just my daughter..lol), of the mountains and the home. Our wedding guests numbered close to 250, so there was ample space, and the owners were very accomodating with helping us to find parking in the lot directly across the road, within steps of the wedding site. We had the groomsmen all stay at the house the night before, and all the wedding party stayed the night of the wedding, and that was a total of 16 of them....and it worked out perfectly! This home is immaculate and had plenty of towels, and the beds were very comfortable. We even made use of the "mother-in-law suit" in the back for the DJ to stay. You can't find a more elegantly simple location with the greatest owners to work with!

Thanks for helping us have a fun and unique family vacation. Now that my kids are grown, what better way to take-in the extended family then in a spacious home surrounded by some incredible wineries. My husband and I are thinking of stealing some of your design ideas. Your kitchen was fun to play around in and you should upload pictures of the incredible master-suite (my girls knew better than to lay claim to that room). I just wanted to stop-by and say thanks and wish you the best! -Courtney Ganesvoort
