We had an absolutely incredible stay at Happy's Hideaway in Ellensburg. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and attention the hosts put into making this property welcoming, comfortable, and memorable.The home itself is beautiful, spacious, and incredibly well maintained. Everything was spotless when we arrived, and the layout was perfect for our group. The bedrooms were comfortable, the common areas were great for spending time together, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook and gather as a group.One of the highlights of the stay was the outdoor space. The setting felt peaceful and private, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a long day. It really made the whole experience feel like a true getaway. The property had a great balance of being quiet and scenic while still being just a short drive to downtown Ellensburg.The hosts were fantastic as well. Communication was easy, quick, and helpful throughout the entire process. They clearly take pride in providing a great experience for their guests, and it shows in every detail of the home.Overall, this was one of the best Vrbo experiences we’ve ever had. If you’re visiting Ellensburg with a group or family, this place is an absolute gem. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, beautiful place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Buehn

Host profile image

Hello! My wife, Kendra, and I live in a small town in Eastern Washington. We have a passion for hospitality and building beautiful spaces for all to enjoy. While traveling, we work hard and play hard, trying to experience (and relax) as much as we can during our adventures.

Why they chose this property

9th Ave is one of the most historic streets in Ellensburg located right between Downtown and the CWU campus. Most of our neighbors are long-time residents that take care of each other. You truly feel loved in this neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

The tucked-away courtyard with private hot tub creates an oasis of privacy while still being so close to lively downtown Ellensburg. The unassumingly large home boasts a very spacious living area adequate for large groups of guests.
