Wonderful stay!
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!

Wonderful cottage!!
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.

BEST IN WALLA WALLA
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.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie and Mike Crawford

Host profile image
Debbie and Mike grew up in the area and own several rental properties in Walla Walla. We have enjoyed being landlords and this is our first vacation rental. We are both professionals and always strive to provide a high level of customer satisfaction to our customers.

Why they chose this property

We have worked hard over the years to preserve the existing form, integrity, and materials of this historic home. We have no kids at home now, so we decided to offer it to others to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

This home has the original stucco exterior and a unique rounded roof design. Throughout the house are built-in features. The kitchen was enlarged by 300 square feet in 2001, as the original was small, and the addition won an architectural award from the 2020 Walla Walla Organization that same year.
