We stayed here to do a little snowboarding up at Bluewood and move our daughter back in to Whitman for spring semester. Great location with all of the comforts of home. The hot tub was a great bonus after a day on the slopes!

Thank you Sam for your kind review. Would love to have your family back anytime.
The Haven is a lovely home with all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay with friends or family. We celebrated our anniversaries with friends and it was delightful! Two upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms. It was perfect for two couples. Very quiet and peaceful!
This is by far the best VRBO we have stayed it. It was clean and amply stocked with supplies. The house is adorable and the yard is beautifully maintained. If I ever come to Walla Walla again- I will absolutely stay here.

The historic neighborhood of 100 year old homes, tree lined streets, and local parks make a perfect place to walk and ride bicycles.
