12 Min Walk To Downtown. 5 Min Walk To Whitman. Surrounded By 2 Beautiful Parks.

Menlo Park House is in a superb location. The house is 3 blocks from downtown in Walla Walla's most historic neighborhood. You may walk to over 20 wineries and breweries through Whitman College. We are a 12 minute walk to downtown, and a 5 minute walk to Whitman College. The house is surrounded by 2 parks. Menlo Park is directly behind Menlo Park House. The park features a tennis court, basketball court, large playground, swings, and a large shaded grass field. Green Park is directly across the street in front of the house.

The house is a 1930's cottage featuring an archway and coved ceilings common of the period. Renovated with beautiful new fixtures and modern amenities allowing the original vintage character and charm to shine through. Menlo Park House features 4 bedrooms (1 king, 3 queens), 2 bathrooms (1 bathtub/shower, 1 shower) and 2 kitchens. There is a sofa bed in the living room if an extra 5th bed is needed. Sleeps 8 comfortably.

The house has an eat in kitchen and cozy living room. Each bedroom boasts luxurious beds and bedrooms tastefully decorated. The back deck has an umbrella table with comfortable seating so you may enjoy dinner al fresco!

The entertainment room/bedroom features a Pac-Man 40th Anniversary Head-to- Head Arcade Table. It includes 10 classic arcade games: Galanga, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Dig Dug II, Pac & Pal, Pac-Man Plus, Super Pac-Man, Pac-Mania, and Pac-Land.

A new 6 person hot tub was added in January 2019. Nice for sipping wine or relaxing on colder days. Guests use hot tub at own risk. Guests are fully responsible for injury or death. Children under 12 are to be supervised by an adult.

There are 2 TV's with Amazon Fire subscriptions with access to thousands of streaming options and channels.

The childhood home of Adam West the original Batman is 1 minute away. Adam West's home is located behind Menlo Park House at 1141 Alvarado Terrace, which was renamed to Honorary Adam West Way.

Memorial Pool is a 10 minute walk and the Golf Course is a 5 minute drive.

Guests have access to the entire house, private fenced yard, and spa. Guests may use the tennis court, basketball court, swings, field, and playground at Menlo Park directly behind the house.

Lovely stay in Walla Walla

We stayed here the weekend our daughter graduated from Whitman College. It was in a perfect location for all the activities. Perfectly clean, lovely yard, comfortable beds, what more could we ask for! Owner/manager was extremely helpful and charming. We would definitely recommend this home!

Mini family reunion

My husband and I met up with our daughter and the two adult grandchildren for 4 nights at this wonderful home. We did not want for anything. The neighborhood is extremely walk friendly. Got to use the pickleball courts directly behind the house in the park. So much fun. Really enjoyed the spa every night.

They make it feel like Home - Put the key in the front door - Relax and Enjoy!

The Cottage has a great location, quiet neighborhood, steps to Whitman, and a stroll to downtown. The public areas are great if your group fills the house, our family size is 4 - so our college kids didn't share a room. Great layout, great back yard for BBQ. While you could easily enjoy the kitchen, the owner's recommendation for coffee/pastry and local restaurants was spot on. Ok, Colville Street Patisserie, the IceBerg for the best local hamburger and shakes, and the Green Spoon for a great range for everyone. We just kept enjoying Walla Walla. Sunday/Monday lots of places are closed, so we missed the Sweet Onion Sausage on Main. The hospitality from the owner made us feel welcome and we appreciated those efforts. Great beds! I love the dining room chandelier too. Thank you -

Cute, quiet, and comfortable home away from home. Plenty of room for the 3 ladies to rest and relax. We enjoyed the outside deck area (coffee and conversation in the morning) and (beverages and hot tub in the evening)! The kitchen was stocked with all amenities for cooking (however we did no cooking)! We chose to eat out and enjoy the local restaurant vibe. Just two things to comment on (but did not hinder our stay), the bathroom upstairs is very narrow but had a nice shower/tub and the larger bedroom (probably primary but no on suite) has a sky light that tends to give one an early wake up call. It was close to the main downtown area; about a half hour walk but it’s a nice area to walk in (if you cut through the University campus you can cut off some time I suppose). We drove (all but one day) because it was maybe 3 minutes and there is a ton of parking. The neighborhood was beautiful and tucked in between 2 parks! We had a very nice visit.

Charming house in quiet neighborhood

The Menlo Park house was just a short distance from Whitman Campus and downtown, along with several nearby parks. We were able to walk just about everywhere. The house has a private fenced in backyard, great for throwing a ball for our dog. Charming house that is well taken care of.

Walla Walla Stay

The house near Whitman College was lovely. Charming, quiet neighborhood with shady streets. The large, landscaped backyard had a deck with large barrel pots of petunias and two tables with chairs. The hot tub was fun to have as well. Three bedrooms were on the main floor with the fourth in the basement. All had comfortable beds with nice linens. The kitchen was well equipped. Drip coffee maker. The restaurants we visited downtown (Saffron, Hattaways, and Passatempo were about 1.4 miles from the house. Cutting through campus was the nicest way to get to them. We didn't bring a pet but the large yard would have been great if we had. They have a nice selection of books and games. Good value!

Ideal

This place worked perfectly for our family. My parents in their 80s were staying with us as well, and there was enough space for them to have their own peace and quiet apart from the rest of us. The yard was ideal for our family dinners, and the neighborhood is lovely. Communication with the host was great. We will definitely stay here again.

Great stay

This house is cute and located in a great place in Walla Walla. Clean and nicely decorated. Beds very comfortable, bathrooms clean. In the kitchen you need to check out all the cupboards as the plates are in a bottom cupboard. We wish we could have found some plastic wrap and sandwhich bags. The steps going downstairs are steep and have a low ceiling which heads got knocked for people taller than 5'6". The little kitchen downstairs is cute. The back yard is inviting with a wonderful deck with tables and chairs. The hot tub was clean and hot. Yard was well manicured and fenced in. We had a great a stay!

Cute and cozy

Very clean and neat. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking items. Cozy to sit and visit and kitchen is big enough for several of us to cook at the same time. We enjoyed the jacuzzi. Overall we enjoyed our time in Walla Walla and staying at your home. Thank you. Just a few comments. The home could use new beds in a couple rooms and water filter changed in the refrigerator. Guests should be aware that because it is an older home that anyone using cold water can affect a change in the water temperature for anyone in the shower.
