About this property

Luxurious, private country estate - 5 min. from downtown, wineries & outdoor rec

Close to town, yet private, Andare is your home away from home in wine country. We’re 3 miles from the airport, and 5 miles from charming & vibrant downtown Walla Walla. Our 10-acre oasis allows plenty of space to play and relax; enjoy our signature coffee on the patio, a dip in the heated pool, & the incredible sunset with a chilled glass of rosé. Come stay and savor the sensory pleasures of being among friends - cooking in the kitchen, playing board games, dance parties under the stars, and relaxing with your new-found winery favorites. This house is best with adult couples- designed to accommodate 4 couples in harmony. On-site caretakers stay in a separate building on the property.

Great location for wine tasting

Fantastic very comfortable home close to all Walla Walla winery tasting rooms. Owner was very communicative and helpful, we would recommend this place and would come back again when the weather was a little warmer to enjoy the pool more! Beautiful quiet country location yet still close to town. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful!!

We had a wonderful time! The house is exceptional and clean and comfortable, and the grounds are well-appointed. The hosts were kind and gracious. We stayed with a group of 6 ladies, and had a really comfortable and fun stay. I'd like to bring my family back in the near future! I would highly recommend!

Amazing Stay!

We came with 3 couples for a weekend of relaxing by the pool and wine tasting. This house fit the bill perfectly! It is so quiet and private - we loved being able to play music and enjoy the pool with no neighbors! The house was well equipped with glasses and necessary supplies, and had plenty of seating inside and out. Great stay

Golf and Wine Tasting

We had a group of 4 couples come and stay for the 3 day weekend. It was great staying away from town and get the quiet of the country. We have rented multiple house with pools over the years in the Walla Walla area and this pool was by far the best. The house was spacious and inviting. The owners were wonderful. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wine weekend

The house was perfect for 4 couples coming to Walla Walla for crush weekend. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by wheat fields and only 10 mins to downtown. We already discussed renting again in the summer so we can enjoy the pool. The house is well equipped even had board games and cards. We were even able to stream the college football games on the tv using our laptop. We will be back!

Family Stay

This property is very nice. You need to be aware that it is in the middle of nowhere but has a wonderful swimming pool and lots of peace and quiet. It was just what we ( 8 Adults) were looking for. Kitchen was very good. We could not use the washing machine because the well pump was not working properly which was a big disappointment and inconvenience. We made many attempts to contact the owner who had previously said he could do a temporary fix, but he never returned our calls and texts. So while the property is nice the customer service was sorely lacking.

Better than we even imagined

This property looks fantastic in the listing and it more than delivered! Our group loved the house overall, especially the layout that balanced private spaces with group gathering spaces, the decor, the amount of outdoor seating areas, the sunset views, and, of course, the pool! The host was easy to communicate with and helped us out with a special request. Everything was absolutely perfect and everyone mentioned how great the house was!

Exactly What We Were Hoping For!

Nice home in a lovely setting amongst the rolling hills just outside of Walla Walla. The host thought of just about everything a guest might need (or forget to bring) and stocked the home with those items. And having your own quiet pool to jump in on those 90+ degree afternoons (between wine tastings and dinner) was just perfect. Thank you! Thank you!

A large hidden gem in Walla Walla

We came to spend time as two sets of empty-nester parents. Our goals were to relax, get away from our busy professional lives, try some of Walla Walla’s wineries and restaurants, and have some time together. The house exceeded all expectations. Located well out in the country, it is in a quiet, scenic location. Wow the scenery of Palouse wheatfields is not for everyone, the sense of solitude and quiet were welcome breaks from urban lives. The house is just a few miles out of town, so, while nothing is within walking distance, everything is within a 10 to 15 minute drive. Not that you need to go anywhere; the kitchen is well stocked, there’s lots of room for everyone, and the pool is large, clean, and very pleasant. As you might expect, the four of us only used two of the mini bedrooms. The house is quite capable of welcoming, many more people, but even for the four of us, things felt warm and welcoming. When we return to Walla Walla, we will look again for the same home. Five stars on every count!

Had a wonderful girls weekend here! Gorgeous views of the wheat fields from the pool, loved having the Adirondack chairs for lounging next to the pool too! Inside was really spacious and cool for reprieve from the outside heat. Would absolutely stay here again!

We loved staying at this home. We had a total of 3 couples in the house and we could have easily added a 4th couple, plenty of space. We staying in July so the pool was amazing. Very clean house. When we go back to Walla Walla with a group, we will stay at this home if available.

75th birthdays of 3 old friends

Great location and had a great time. Couple of things for owner info. There were a few ants in downstairs bathroom. The downstairs shower control needs attention. barbecue ran out of propane while cooking the only dinner we had at the property. Otherwise perfect.

A hidden gem

This property was perfect for our stay in Walla Walla. It is close to the wineries and yet secluded and peaceful. We had everything we needed and more. Tom was awesome with his instant replies. and helpfulness. The two couples we stayed with are also looking to rent it again in the future. Gorgeous sunsets!

Beautiful oasis!

This house was very beautiful and a lovely environment for a getaway with three of my favorite couples. We took the basement room for a little more privacy and dark room sleeping, which we love. Our host was very communicative! The details, amenities and decor was thoughtful and tasteful. The only thing I would pay attention to as a renter is the proximity to Walla Walla wineries. It’s a little bit of a jaunt, so make sure you have a sober driver planned!!! One of our friends was pregnant.. so she was our shuttle which was helpful. The house doesn’t run a bit warm, so if you sleep hot, maybe crack a window. Thank you for a great time! Veronica

Lovely setting for our group’s visit. The house is very comfortable and stylish. Well equipped with all the essentials except a place to plug in and play music, so don’t forget your portable speaker. Bonus points for the resident cat that checked in on us each day! We had a great time visiting wineries & downtown. Oh! Forgot to mention the awesome pool. Overall an excellent house.

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Judy Bennett

Tom and I fell in love with Walla Walla years ago, and we've always held it in our hearts as a special place to relax and find some quiet time among amazing views. I grew up in Portland, but I attended Whitman back in the 80’s and I dare say my heart never left.

We own a fantastic pizza restaurant 12 miles east of here (called American 35) in Waitsburg. That’s not just a brag; I can say that because of our 4.9 star rating! Tom also owns a mobile catering business called Fiasco Wood-Fired Pizza. Hosting guests, at the restaurant or at home, is the thing we love to do the most. We’re honored that people choose to celebrate their special occasions with us, and we work hard to create the best experiences that we can.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property due to its unique characteristics. There aren't many contemporary houses with this kind of space, near to town. It has the wonderful ability to be remote and private, while being so close to Walla Walla's dynamic community.

What makes this property unique

"Andare" in Italian is the verb "To Be". It also means to simply stay in one place. It perfectly describes how we feel when we're here. When we’re thoroughly content and having a nice time with people we love, there’s no desire to be anywhere else. We have worked to make our home as inviting to you as we find it ourselves.
