Located just two blocks from Whitman College and an easy walk through campus to downtown Walla Walla’s wine tasting rooms, restaurants, and shops, this charming 1926 English Storybook Cottage offers one of the most desirable and walkable locations in town.

Ideal for Whitman College visits including graduation, Family Weekend, and Admitted Students Weekend, as well as wine country getaways, the home blends historic character, modern comfort, and a beautiful private garden retreat.

The home offers approximately 2,700 square feet of living space and sleeps six adults comfortably across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it perfect for families, multiple couples, or small groups. The large remodeled kitchen is a true gathering space, featuring a large island, generous counter space, and two dishwashers, ideal for preparing meals together after a day of wine tasting or campus activities. The cozy living room features a fireplace and a large flat-screen TV, creating a warm and inviting place to relax.

On the main level you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms, one with a king adjustable bed and one with a queen adjustable bed, along with a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring quartz and travertine finishes. The entire upper floor is dedicated to a spacious private master suite with a king bed, sitting area, and spa-like bathroom with a classic claw-foot tub with shower, providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. The lower level includes a fourth bedroom with egress and a double bed, a full bathroom with a glass-enclosed tile shower, a private exercise room with cardio and free-weight equipment, and a full laundry room.

Step outside and discover a true backyard oasis. This tranquil garden was featured on the Walla Walla Pond and Garden Tour and offers rare privacy so close to downtown. Mature landscaping surrounds a copper bowl fountain, a gentle waterfall, and multiple seating areas. The brick patio seats eight for outdoor dining, and the extended patio with a gas fire pit is perfect for enjoying a glass of local wine in the evening. A playset is also available for children. A Weber griddle is available for preparing meals and enjoying outdoor cooking.

The walkable location allows you to stroll through Whitman College’s beautiful campus and continue directly to historic Main Street, where you’ll find more than twenty downtown wine tasting rooms, excellent restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and galleries. For full winery visits, the airport district and Southside wineries are just a short drive away.

This Storybook cottage offers a rare combination of charm, space, walkability, and a peaceful garden setting, making it an ideal home base for Whitman College stays and unforgettable Walla Walla wine country experiences.

    This home is conveniently located to Whitman College and the town of Walla Walla. The hosts responded to any questions promptly. They were so thoughtful to have so many items in the house which made us feel welcomed into their home. They had many thoughtful touches for our weekend in Walla Walla to celebrate our son’s graduation from Whitman College. The fresh eggs, flowers from the garden, Walla Walla onions, graduation celebratory items, robes, pickelball rackets, games, and amazing backyard with a beautiful water features and fire pit all made for a memorable weekend. The house is stocked with everything one would need. The beds are very comfortable with quality linens. I would highly recommend this home!

    A group of us return to this whimsical beautiful home every year to play golf, wine taste , and enjoy evenings at the house cooking. We would not consider staying anywhere else . The owners are just amazing to work with and so accommodating . You will not want for anything as it’s stocked with everything you can imagine . You’ll open a hall cabinet to find bins labeled from scissors and clippers, to first aid, sunscreens, Covid tests etc. Kitchen cabinets containing bins labeled containing basic staples, drawers filled with candles and lighters for patio use, 2 coffee stations, etc. Upon arrival in the kitchen we were greeted by the smell of a large vase full of freshly picked lilacs and a bottle of wine . Your rooms have luxury spa robes and trays contains sleep masks, earplugs, etc. And the list goes on. The decor is lovely and our favorite gathering place is the back yard . We can’t wait for the sun to set so we can use the provided remotes and turn on all the strings of lights through the yard in the trees . Light a fire , drink wine and listen to the two water features nestled in the yard. Book your stay. You won’t be disappointed.

    This is our second time staying at this property and we absolutely love it! It’s such a lovely house and is clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. It’s in a perfect location. We were able to walk to downtown Walla Walla where we enjoyed the tasting rooms and shops. We would love to stay here again!

    Our stay with friends at the Storybook Cottage was absolutely lovely. The house was sparkling clean and every room is designed to be comfortable and inviting — the private garden and outdoor spaces even more so. We only made breakfast and coffee, but the kitchen has everything you need to prepare a full meal. The kitchen has a traditional coffee maker with fresh beans and a grinder, as well as a Keurig machine for a fast breakfast beverage. There were also fresh eggs in the fridge (thank you!) and gorgeous peony bouquets in the kitchen and the garden. Really an outstanding property - highly recommend. A sincere thank you to our hosts for a wonderful weekend.

    my husband and I and friends make our annual visit to Walla Walla for winetasting weekend and we always stay at the Crawford house. This is one of the historic homes that has been restored beautifully inside and out. The interior decor, and the attention to detail is the best I’ve seen. The kitchen is stocked with everything a cook could need . The cupboards are well organized and everything is labeled . Extremely organized. The bathrooms have all the amenities along with Spa Robes just like a five star hotel. The backyard is one of our favorite places to hang after golf and winetasting. The gardens, several water features, the whimsical garden decor, herb garden , and little pathways are amazing . At night with a remote control, one click and the yard lights up with mini lights and yard lights. It’s beautiful and we highly recommend We can’t wait to be back next year.

    We had a great stay for our group of 5. The house is beautiful and comfortable. The hosts have shown great attention to detail. The house is well stocked and has many nice touches. The backyard is very creative. We enjoyed the gardens and the various seating options. The location is very convenient. The neighborhood is very walkable and close to downtown. The beautiful Whitman College campus is about a block away. Highly recommend this house!

    We had the best time staying at this house! It’s centrally located to many restaurants, activities, and wineries in Walla Walla. It was easy to either walk or drive anywhere we wanted to go. The house itself was gorgeous! It was well-stocked, everything was comfortable and clean, and the yard is so lovely. Mike and Debbie were wonderful hosts and even left us treats upon our arrival. :) We would love to stay here again!
