We had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to pick this vacation home again were it to be available for our next trip to Walla Walla. The house is spacious and nicely laid out, which allowed each member of our group (2 adults, 2 kids) the room to do their own thing without being on top of each other. The walk to town is pleasant and short … a couple of blocks and there were plenty of restaurants and stores to visit. This is a lovely house and we highly recommend it.

Great location, within walking distance of downtown. Plenty of parking. Awesome kitchen with everything you could want. Large bedrooms, and a great living and dining room to relax and socialize. The property manager was super responsive and friendly. We have stayed twice and would definitely stay again. A fantastic Walla Walla home away from home.

Great weekend getaway

We were there for a girls weekend, wine tasting, and visiting a kid in college. This was a perfect place to rest every night, great location walkable from main street, and we loved the memories that the record collection provided.

Fun family getaway!

We had a great time at the Alder House for a weekend of wine tasting with the family! We brought our two pups and especially loved the fenced in backyard. The location was amazing, just a 10 minute walk to Main Street downtown. Would definitely come again!

House was much roomier than expected with a wonderful old home feel. Location was excellent for wine tasting in the area, although a little further from downtown than I expected. Porch and backyard were beautiful and I wish I had more time to enjoy them. Only problem was driveway - narrow pavement strip with gravel on sides meant wet feet when it rained. It was also difficult to back out of onto fairly busy street.

Beautiful House!

This house was perfect for our group of six! We had our two dogs with us so the fenced backyard was a major plus! Loved the record player, fireplace, and big living room/lounge area. Great location, close to downtown with lots of shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Alder House is a great place to stay - close to downtown

House was exactly as advertised. Cool record player that we really enjoyed. Plenty of off street parking and great fenced back yard and deck. One thing that would make it perfect - if checkout time could be flexed to 11am, not 10am

Such a great location! We loved listening to all the vintage vinyl on the easy to use turntable. Beds were comfortable. Wonderful towels and linens. Fireplace was nice to have. Recommend backing into the long driveway to make it easier to get onto the slightly busy street. Only one shower but with only three of us, it worked out fine. We had a wonderful weekend stay.

Great place to stay if you'd like to walk around and not drive everywhere. On a busy street but it's not so much at night. House is old and creaky but we found it charming. Amenities were great.

Cute & very comfortable stay super close to downtown Walla Walla

My husband, two kids (3 & 5) and I stayed for 5 days and it was absolutely perfect for what we needed. The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of space to spread out -- and for them to play. We utilized the well stocked kitchen and backyard during our stay and loved how close to downtown we were, we walked down several times. We would definitely stay again when we're back visiting family (and the wineries!). Thanks so much for the hospitality!

We had 7 family members meet for a college graduation, coming from all over, plus 2 small dogs. The place was great, accurately advertised with 1 & 1/2 bath, was fine with d as one planning. The backyard was perfect for the 2 dogs to get their energy out. One of our members wishes she could buy the house, very cute, lots of character, plenty of parking. We were very happy there.

The house was nice. Centrally located although I was a bit surprised it was on a main thoroughfare. The noise wasn't bad, noticed mostly in the morning. The main problem I had was with the cleanliness. Everything was clean except for the floor. I walked around with socks on for a few hours and noticed the bottom of my feet were filthy. The floors were gross. I found an old dog pee (dryed) on the stairs. My dog found old kibble near the dog bowls. I looked for a mop but couldn't find one. My guess is the maid service runs a dry swifter around and that's it. We wiped a few spots, upstairs and downstairs, with a clean paper towel and it was filthy everywhere

Family Christmas

5 of us stayed at the Alder Street House for a long Christmas weekend. The house is the home my mother grew up in. Mom, my sister and I, along with our partners, enjoyed spending 5 nights over Christmas in the home sharing Mom's memories and hosting my own 3 adult children at various times for meals and socializing. The large dining table and open spaces were excellent for these activities. With snow on the ground, we were not able to enjoy the outdoor seating but our dog appreciated the securely fenced back yard. My only recommendation would be, during winter weather the host might provide a snow shovel so guests could clear ice and snow from the porch steps and walkways. I would also caution guests to be aware that the single shower with a full house of adults can create a logistics problem. However, we were aware of this situation before making our reservation and chose this priory anyway because of the family history. All in all, it was a great stay. Thank you.
