Tandem House
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Walla Walla
Walla Walla is one of the greatest areas in the state for being outdoors, cycling, fishing, hunting and close to skiing at Bluewood in the Winter months. Of course Walla Walla is also home to some national and internationally renowned wineries and up and coming restaurants.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The Tandem House is located by the historic Pioneer Park. The park was designed by John Olmstead, who designed Central Park in New York, as well as numerous other Parks in Washington and Oregon. The Park is home to some state and national record trees. Tandem House is walking distance to Whitman College (10 min) and downtown (15-20 min). We also stock the garage with 3 speed bikes to explore the town on.

My wife grew up in Walla Walla and I met her while attending Whitman College. We love it there and try to get back as often as we can. We also love cycling and can make great recommendations for area rides, restaurants and other fun activities. Thanks for checking out our house.

A group of wine loving nurses and spouses came to enjoy Tandem house for a beautiful weekend in September. We were so surprised and impressed with the spaciousness and comfort at Tandem House, and look forward to staying there again, as it's now impossible to even make a tiny dent in the wine experience that Walla Walla has to offer!

We recently stayed at the Tandem House for my oldest son's graduation from Whitman College. Not only was the house beautifully renovated, but it was very comfortable for both sleeping and entertaining. My son's fellow students and faculty easily found their way over by bike, walking, and car to share meals with us and to celebrate. The grandparents (a 98-year old, 85-year old and 82 year old) loved seeing their grandchildren and family all under one roof. Mark was a pleasure to work with and we will certainly plan on renting from him again. And of course, Walla Walla is a wonderful town - the town so nice they named it twice!

The Perfect House

This house is the perfect place to stay in Walla Walla. It sits in a beautiful and quiet residential neighborhood, minutes away from downtown (even by bike). Pioneer Park is a half-block away. The house itself is immaculate, all of it completely renovated and very very beautifully done. The three bedrooms upstairs are large and roomy with high ceilings. The three bathrooms are clean, large, and modern. The kitchen is what I wish my kitchen at home was like: huge, plenty of counter space, and full of all the appliances and tools that one could need. Everything was clean, clean, clean. We really didn't come across anything lacking at this house, including the locked garage that we could put our bikes in and the lawn furniture we could pull outside to sit in the evening sun. Even the landscaping is clean and neat. We try to get to Walla Walla twice a year, and we look forward to staying at this house every single time we go. Highly recommended!!!

We had a reunion of ultimate frisbee player friends over an early April weekend and the Tandem House could not have been more perfect for us. Thank you Mark for providing such a lovely and welcoming home base for our reunion weekend. Every one of us could see ourselves living here. This is a house with character. We took full advantage of the fleet of classic cruiser bicycles and tandems, of course! Loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the glorious Walla Walla evenings. The house had all the amenities we could need, was very spacious and we all appreciated the bicycle-themed decor. The rooms were all comfortable, the master bedroom was unbelievable! The kitchen was wonderful to cook in and had every item you could imagine. We also loved the backyard lawn and comfy lawn furniture. Mark (owner) was flexible, accommodating, and helpful. This would be a great place to vacation with a family or mid-size group. The location is in a beautiful neighborhood near the crown jewel of Walla Walla’s park system, Pioneer Park. Also it is very close to downtown, Whitman College campus and the nearby vineyards. It was the perfect place! Couldn’t have been better!

Great place, great town! relaxing, beautiful, clean and spacious, house. We spent a wonderful weekend at Tandem House last year during the walla walla onion festival. this place is beautiful, VERY clean and VERY comfortable. we didn't want to leave! riding the bikes into town for a wine tasting and visits to the local shops and bakeries was just idyllic. the house is situated on a quiet street, caddy corner from a beautiful little park with tennis courts, great old trees and a gazebo. its like traveling back in time to the days of norman rockwell. evenings on the swing on the front porch...this house is very special - we will be back for sure. mark and julie have made it a place that you wont soon forget.
