This was our third time staying here between Christmas and New Years. Love the big dining room table and living from space.

A fabulous house that was clean and very well-stocked. It was perfect for our girls weekend of wine tasting!

A group of adult friends wanted to enjoy some kid free time with good food and great wine. The McCool house was charming and conveniently located to downtown. We walked there every morning for coffee and walked to and from dinner every evening. Would definitely stay here again for a short walla walla get away!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Was a comfortable house to hang out together in or have separate areas when needed. Close to downtown coffee shops and restaurants. Everything was great except the downstairs king size bed mattress was very soft and difficult for two people to sleep in. Other than that we had a very enjoyable stay.

We loved this charming place and will likely make it an annual tradition! It was close and convenient to everything we had planned, so we walked everywhere and enjoy visiting with family along the way.

We had family gathering for wine tasting weekend… the house has so much character, plenty of space, well stocked kitchen so you don’t have to worry about having only one spatula or pan when cooking, and a wonderful porch. Our only complaint was the busy street traffic… and would be nice to access the backyard from the kitchen instead of through gate. But otherwise, great time!

We had 12 family members coming together in Walla Walla to be part of a Murder Mystery dinner and wine weekend. The James McCool house was absolutely perfect! All of the bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable, and the entire house was fabulously equipped for anything we needed. Enough dishes, glassware and seating for everyone, with more kitchen essentials than we have in our own homes! So much fun, and the home has so much character and charm, so it was perfect for us. Thank you Terri for sharing this beautiful and historical home with everyone!!

This is a great house for large groups. Eight women enjoyed a weekend away in Walla Walla while staying at the James McCool house, and everyone said they would return. It’s a thoughtfully restored home with plenty of room and filled with decor that celebrate the house’s history. The kitchen was amazing and stocked with everything you might need. The large dining room was perfect for playing games and sharing meals. The only, slight downside is that the intersection where the house is located has quite a bit of traffic, but we all agreed that this wasn’t bothersome enough to keep us from staying again.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. The kitchen was more than well stocked with any utensils/ etc. that we could need, the beds were very comfortable and the community spaces were great for friends to gather. The check in and out process was clear and easy. Thank you so much for having us!

We had a great time at the James McCool house. The home kept the charm of an old house while having a relaxed and modern feel. The kitchen is well stocked and well organized. We especially liked how the hosts seemed to have gone above and beyond to make sure that the guests have an enjoyable stay, almost like a hotel. Highly recommend this place.

Fantastic historic farmhouse that's just the right mix of vintage charm and modern amenities. Perfect as a gathering place for larger groups, with dining room that seats 14, comfy furniture in the adjacent living room, and roomy wraparound porch. The fenced backyard yard is also well appointed for groups, but be aware that if you've got a dog with you the backyard is not directly accessible from indoors. You'll need to leash your pet as you exit onto the porch, go down a couple of steps, and through the gate into the fully fenced backyard. I would highly recommend it for those interested in the history of the Walla Walla area.

The house is a lovingly restored turn of century house. It was very comfortable for extended family to hangout with enough space to all be together but also to have spaces for separate quiet time. Kitchen and baths are very well stocked and it has a separate outside dining area. The downtown business district is an easy walk and two grocery stores about six blocks away. The only caution is it is located at the corner of two somewhat busy streets. The front yard is elevated and there is a fenced back so kids could safely play. There is off street parking for four cars so access and parking was not an issue. It could be loud at night as we slept with the windows open but ear plugs were provided in every bedroom and it was much quieter with windows closed (yes there is air conditioning…we just didn’t use it). Overall, great property and would happily rent again for family reunion or wine tasting trip with four or five couples.
