    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!

    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.

    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.

    Visiting our daughter while she was playing at Whitman for a volleyball tournament. Coincidence that my siblings from across country were here. We were able to plan an amazing weekend and enjoyed everything the house offered. The house truly made our time together even more special. Top service and amenities.

    This house oozed old world charm, character and authenticity down to every architectural accent and piece of art on the wall. The home was impeccably spotless, well stocked. There was more than enough room for our party of 4, which allowed us to spread out in our own rooms, though the house could easily accommodate more guests. We loved watching a movie in the comfy living room and having coffee on the porch, enjoying the mature maples and passersby. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops, or a short car ride to the wineries. We would definitely recommend staying here!

    This was a special birthday celebration for my whole family (10 of us) at this charming house in Walla Walla , walking distance from the downtown area. This home is spacious, well kept and the rooms were all wonderful with comfortable beds and very nice amenities. There is a nice large couch as well where we relaxed and enjoyed a movie together. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook your meals and the dining room table was big enough for all of us to enjoy our meals together. I’ve already had a friend reach out to me asking about renting this property and I gave her an enthusiastic thumbs up. The backyard also has a large table to enjoy a meal outside and we enjoyed sitting on the porch with the comfortable chairs and watching the resident squirrels in the trees in the side yard. It was a wonderful place to stay and if my whole family ventures back to Walla Walla, we would love to stay here again. Thanks so much - 5 stars all the way!

    I can't say enough positive things about this house. From the moment we walked in, it felt like magic. With six of us, the space was perfect—plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and everything was immaculately clean. The home was full of thoughtful touches, from ample towels to a seamless and uncomplicated checkout process. I highly recommend this home for anyone traveling to Walla Walla, whether with a large group or even a smaller one. Communication was excellent and prompt. The house was equipped with well-crafted notes that provided all the necessary information, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with luxurious bedding that made for a great night's sleep. It was the perfect setting for a girls' trip.
