Our party of 5 adults had a wonderful 3 night stay in Walla Walla Gem! The house was everything we could have hoped for - super clean, thoughtfully appointed kitchen and baths, everything in working order, clear directions on heating and internet. Vicki was very quick with responses to questions, and had the propane tank promptly refilled when needed. The yard was especially nice, and we enjoyed the fire pit and barbecue in the evening. Thank you, Vicki and Robert, for a terrific experience!

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Rising

Host profile image

Robert and I lived in the Willamette Valley for decades, but love to travel and seek warm weather. Our travels brought us to Walla Walla and we decided it was a great destination. We have children and grandchildren in the area. We enjoy family time and water sports in the Columbia River and snow sports at Bluewood Ski Resort.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the Walla Walla Gem in January of 2017. We were charmed by beautiful historic buildings, tree lined streets and vitality in Walla Walla. We also enjoy the Central Washington weather. In addition to the wineries, there are many cultural, music and community events to enjoy. We love the energy created by having Whitman College and Walla Walla University in the community.

What makes this property unique

We were delighted by the recent renovation of the home. The early 1900's charm is still visible, with modern updates in all areas of the home. You can look forward to enjoying the warm weather on the back deck or sitting by the fire pit on a cool evening. The first floor has an open floor plan, so you can visit with friends while cooking in the well equipped kitchen. The close proximity to downtown is also a big advantage, as you can park your car and walk to shop, have breakfast or dinner, or for wine tasting. The home has a walkability rating of 85.
