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 fully fenced, private lawn is much larger than most other downtown properties. The property location is perfectly placed to be within walking distance of most local attractions while still remaining secluded and quiet.
