About this property
University Pub Craftsman | Walk Downtown + Game Room
Historic Craftsman Charm, Just a Stroll from Downtown
Set in one of Walla Walla’s charming historic neighborhoods, University Pub Craftsman is a welcoming 1920s bungalow just a few blocks from Whitman College and downtown Walla Walla.
Original hardwood floors, Craftsman millwork, built-in cabinetry, and a classic fireplace give the home its vintage appeal, while an updated kitchen and comfortable living spaces make it an easy place to settle in for a wine country getaway.
Two bedrooms—a King and Queen—are located on the main floor, along with two full bathrooms with walk-in showers.
Downstairs, the University Pub adds a fun second gathering space with shuffleboard, darts, a pullout sofa, additional bathroom, and small office. It’s a great spot for a little friendly competition after a day exploring the Valley.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard is made for relaxed Walla Walla evenings. Grill dinner, gather around the fire pit, or enjoy a glass of wine outdoors while your four-legged travel companions have room to roam.
Walk to Whitman College and downtown for tasting rooms, restaurants, coffee, and shopping, then come home and settle in for the evening.
Historic character, a fun downstairs hangout, a fenced yard, and a walkable location make University Pub Craftsman an easy home base for experiencing Walla Walla.
Please Note: The game room, office, pullout sofa, and additional bathroom are located downstairs and require stairs to access. Both primary bedrooms are located on the main floor.

About the host
Hosted by Terra Luthi
This 1920 Craftsman home has been in the Dashiell family since 1979. It has always been a warm happy cozy oasis. Dennis and Jeannette Dashiell took over the home from Dennis’ mom Sharon, who lived there through her career as a beloved local grade school teacher and later in her retirement. The Dashiell family lives in Bellingham WA now but family, friends, beautiful vistas, sun, great wine and an exceptional Walla Walla food scene has kept them coming back every chance they get. Dennis and Jeannette did most of the remodel work themselves with great attention to detail and are very proud of the house as it stands today.
Your vacation dollars support a noble cause: In January of 2014 the Dashiells lost their college-bound daughter Hannah to a car accident. Hannah was pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor. A scholarship fund has been set up in honor of Hannah’s legacy of generosity and caring. A percentage of receipts from this rental will go to a community foundation scholarship fund for young women entering the medical field. www.whatcomcf.org/dashiell-scholarship
Why they chose this property
The magical beauty of rolling wheat fields, wineries, the blue mountains, tree lined streets and a Norman Rockwell inspired old-world downtown - all combine for a great vacation destination. Many people think Walla Walla surpasses Napa for access to incredible vintners and quality of wine tour experience. The “foodie” scene in Walla Walla is amazing with a competition among chefs to continually reinvent fun food experiences, cutting edge dishes and wine-pairing events. The warm evening walk-ability of this beautiful town ties it all together.
What makes this property unique
It’s the best of all worlds when this home offers a perfect peaceful setting to launch your tour of the valley by day, and a slow down to the nearby pub and other fun eateries by night.
