Terrific location, walking distance to downtown. The home is a beautiful, extremely well-maintained historic home. Everything we needed was there we spent an evening enjoying the backyard. Great home base for our group of girlfriends to enjoy a long weekend in Walla Walla!

The McCool House exceeded our expectations in every category. Vast attention was paid to the details of making our group of seven friends feel at home. The kitchen is superbly stocked for the cooks in the crowd. Dining and bedroom areas were generously sized yet intimate. The decor blends a vintage historical vibe with modern, unstuffy functionality. Communicating with host Tracy was a breeze and largely unnecessary once we moved in. Many thanks to the hosts who care and put the cool in the McCool!

Beautiful House

We loved staying in this house. It was spotless and comfortable. Four couples stayed two nights and everyone had a great time. It is on a busy corner with a stoplight which was the only disappointment - I was expecting a quiet downtown street, but regardless the house itself was very cool and well maintained. We had a great time.

Just what we needed

A group of adult friends wanted to enjoy some kid free time with good food and great wine. The McCool house was charming and conveniently located to downtown. We walked there every morning for coffee and walked to and from dinner every evening. Would definitely stay here again for a short walla walla get away!

Wonderful historic home!

This was a clean, well maintained historic home that had plenty of space for our family, friends and our dog. The home is on an intersection but the owners have taken care to address any noise issues with white noise machines and a lovely enclosed back yard. The home has gorgeous tile and details that evoke its unique historic character. It was a fun and easy walk to town.

Family Wedding

We really enjoyed our stay here. Was a comfortable house to hang out together in or have separate areas when needed. Close to downtown coffee shops and restaurants. Everything was great except the downstairs king size bed mattress was very soft and difficult for two people to sleep in. Other than that we had a very enjoyable stay.
