The Haven - Whitman College Neighborhood. Walk to Main St. Hot tub/Families/Pets

The Haven is a 100+ year-old home on Pearson Street, in a beautiful historic neighborhood several blocks from Whitman College and Main Street in Walla Walla.

The Haven is a licensed vacation rental in the City of Walla Walla and abides by all regulations.

The Haven was set up in 2006 specifically as a nightly rental. It is a distinctive comfortable place for family and friends - coveted by those that drink fine wine, handcrafted beer, and specialty cocktails. Families love The Haven because there are ample places for play and privacy. Additionally, the neighborhood is charming and close to several parks.

The kitchen is the heart of this home and was remodeled creating an open floor plan. Relax and enjoy the patio with Jacuzzi hot tub - perfect for sunning and lounging in your private backyard.

This well-maintained and updated (3 plus bedroom/ 2.5 bathroom) home has distinct architectural features including Victorian fish-scale shingle siding, spacious front veranda, and second story sleeping porch (sunroom).

It is designed to provide the ideal Walla Walla experience for families and friends - wine clubs, girlfriend getaways, bachelorette weekends, bookclubs, reunions, cycling groups, golf weekends.

Don't miss your weekend morning walk to Pioneer Park or Main Street for the Farmer's Market. For a quiet evening at The Haven, utilize our Sonos system with 50-inch TV. Log into your favorite channels and music or use your personal device to fill The Haven with music. A vintage piano is also available for your enjoyment. Local and regional publications, as well as recommendations for dining, shopping, and touring is provided. Be sure to check out the assortment of books and our collection of family-favorite board games.

Enjoy our various entertaining spaces which can accommodate gatherings such as cocktail parties, wine tastings, barbeques, and family feasts. Utilize our distinctive serviceware and place settings and sit down for an elegant dinner.

Have a casual meal on the front veranda or in the backyard. Help yourself to what is in the pantry and fresh ingredients from our seasonal culinary herb garden and use the gas bbq. Lounge about the Jacuzzi Hot Tub and soak up the sun by day and head back into the spa for special star gazing at night.

At the end of the day, sleep comfortably on our pillow-top beds with quality linens - King, Queen, Full, and two twins. There is also a memory foam queen sleeper sofa in the den.

The Haven is an ideal opportunity for wine enthusiasts wanting to learn more about the Walla Walla appellation! Customized tours, tastings, and unique events available for Haven guests. Check out our tour company CuratedWW for details.

Proximity to Whitman College makes The Haven ideal for inviting your student's roommates and fellow Whitties over for a home-cooked meal.

Owner was very responsive to requests. Home has plenty of room to socialize or hang out on your own. Quiet neighborhood in a 15min walk to downtown. Fenced backyard perfect for dogs, also has a small hot tub. House has craftsman charm with a fully modern kitchen. Beds were incredibly comfortable, which is not something you find often.

Clean, beautiful, excellent service and great location!
The Haven is a gem of a rental! We loved the big kitchen, dining room, living room and TV 'den'. It was the perfect layout for our holiday family gathering. We played a ton of games, watched movies, and made delicious food. Fab Whitman location...just a block and half away from campus and easy walk to downtown if you want. Surrounded by beautiful homes, so fun walking area. We brought the dog, so it was a lovely place to exercise him. (must crate if you leave your dogs alone, but we never did). We loved the hot tub on these cold winter days/nights! The house can be cold in the winter, but there are two supplemental heaters that we were able to shift around when needing a bit of extra heat around Grandma. The kitchen is stocked, but if you need certain types of pans/tools for cooking a special recipe, you may want to bring it with you. (for example, there was no casserole dish, but I was able to purchase one for use while there...if you need a roasting pan or something like that...bring it). The home is well stocked with games/puzzles which we enjoyed. The home was lightly decorated for the holidays which made it extra special! My young adult kids and I thought the beds were comfortable. Overall GREAT stay! Sue's communication was top notch and helpful. The instructions were clear and easy to follow.

Fantastic place
This property is fabulously dressed, inside and out. A Craftsman house that welcomes you the moment you open the door. We were always seeing something that started a conversation, from the Antiques to the modernized kitchen. And the beds are very, very comfy. You won't be disappointed in a stay here!

Wonderful historical location
It's a lovely older house with an updated kitchen and bathrooms, but retains the charm of the nearly 100 year old home. They were very accomodating allowing us to bring lur dogs. One of the best features of the property is it's well maintained backyard with lots of shade for hot walla walla weather. We enjoyed the hot tub and the house is well located for explorinv the town.

The historic neighborhood of 100 year old homes, tree lined streets, and local parks make a perfect place to walk and ride bicycles.
