Fabulous Property

Every detail was exceptional and our group of 8 all agreed the house was perfect for our golf and wine tasting adventure. The property is easy to get to set in a private and quiet neighborhood. Very close to our wine tasting venues and next to the Mill Creek Recreational area for walking.

Perfect setting

The house was the perfect place to bring my family for a wine tasting weekend and to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and Easter! The house is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We never had to eat out!The grounds are beautiful and the surrounding area is spectacular. We enjoyed the yard and the fire out. We walked along the Mill Creek and even saw deer in the neighborhood. Thank you for hosting this amazing place!

Spacious family getaway

Heron house is everything promised. Clean, nicely appointed, well equipped kitchen, hotel quality bedding and inviting decor. Our group/family of 10 enjoyed our stay and had plenty of space to entertain. The property management was highly engaged and responsive. We appreciated the location of the house as it backs to Mill Creek greenbelt. We saw a river otter, deer and many birds including a blue heron. The yard is lovely and we enjoyed the patio in the evenings. Highly Recommend.

Nestled in the Woods

Quiet location, sizable, private backyard near hiking trails. Large modern home with gas fireplace, one on-suite King room, spacious kitchen and dining room. Loved the location and the house. The hostess was quick to respond and friendly. Check in was easy with a door code. The house has a unique layout as the bathrooms are a bit awkward for the other bedrooms and there is no access to the garage. However, we had a great time and enjoyed our visit.

An Absolutely Gorgeous Home

We were in Walla Walla for a family girls’ weekend and had a phenomenal time! This house is not only gorgeous but very spacious, well-stocked with all essentials, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our group of 9 to have stunning accommodations. Two bedrooms on the main level were nicely accessible for older members of our group. The kitchen is amazing and we appreciated having the space and tools to create and enjoy delicious meals there. We all raved about the home! The Mill Creek trail is just steps away and is wonderful for running or walking. The host was responsive and organized, the entire rental process was simple and easy to communicate. Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you!
