About this property

2 Blocks from Whitman College, Walkable 4BR Storybook Home

Located just two blocks from Whitman College and an easy walk through campus to downtown Walla Walla’s wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops, this charming 1926 English Storybook Cottage offers one of the most desirable and walkable locations in town.

Ideal for Whitman College visits including graduation, Family Weekend, and Admitted Students Weekend, as well as wine country getaways, the home blends historic character, modern comfort, and a beautiful private garden retreat.

The home offers approximately 2,700 square feet of living space and sleeps six adults comfortably across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it perfect for families, multiple couples, or small groups. The large remodeled kitchen is a true gathering space, featuring a large island, generous counter space, and two dishwashers, ideal for preparing meals together after a day of wine tasting or campus activities. The cozy living room features a fireplace and a large flat-screen TV, creating a warm and inviting place to relax.

On the main level you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms, one with a king adjustable bed and one with a queen adjustable bed, along with a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring quartz and travertine finishes. The entire upper floor is dedicated to a spacious private master suite with a king bed, sitting area, and spa-like bathroom with a classic claw-foot tub with shower, providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The lower level includes a fourth bedroom with egress and a double bed, a full bathroom with a glass-enclosed tile shower, a private exercise room with cardio and free-weight equipment, and a full laundry room.

Step outside and discover a true backyard oasis. This tranquil garden was featured on the Walla Walla Pond and Garden Tour and offers rare privacy so close to downtown. Mature landscaping surrounds a copper bowl fountain, a gentle waterfall, and multiple seating areas. The brick patio seats eight for outdoor dining, and the extended patio with a gas fire pit is perfect for enjoying a glass of local wine in the evening. A playset is also available for children. A Weber griddle is available for preparing meals and enjoying outdoor cooking.

The walkable location allows you to stroll through Whitman College’s beautiful campus and continue directly to historic Main Street, where you’ll find more than twenty downtown wine tasting rooms, excellent restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and galleries. For full winery visits, the airport district and Southside wineries are just a short drive away.

This Storybook cottage offers a rare combination of charm, space, walkability, and a peaceful garden setting, making it an ideal home base for Whitman College stays and unforgettable Walla Walla wine country experiences.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie and Mike Crawford

Host profile image
Debbie and Mike grew up in the area and own several rental properties in Walla Walla. We have enjoyed being landlords and this is our first vacation rental. We are both professionals and always strive to provide a high level of customer satisfaction to our customers.

Why they chose this property

We have worked hard over the years to preserve the existing form, integrity, and materials of this historic home. We have no kids at home now, so we decided to offer it to others to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

This home has the original stucco exterior and a unique rounded roof design. Throughout the house are built-in features. The kitchen was enlarged by 300 square feet in 2001, as the original was small, and the addition won an architectural award from the 2020 Walla Walla Organization that same year.
