Use the gas barbeque; roast marshmellows in the firepit; and play croquet. Help yourself to what is in the pantry and fresh ingredients from our seasonal culinary garden.
At the end of the day, sleep comfortably on our Sealy pillow-top beds with quality linens - King, Queen, Full, and twins.

The Haven is steps away from Whitman College and Main Street in Walla Walla, WA. Guests enjoy a stroll along the creek through campus to get to the downtown core of Walla Walla. The historic neighborhood of 100 year old homes, tree lined streets, and local parks make a perfect place to walk or ride bicycles.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The Haven was one of the first vacation homes in Walla Walla. Of all the properties now available, guests say it is in the perfect location - a beautiful neighborhood and easy access to downtown. One activity that our guests have really enjoyed is a private wine tasting at the house.
