This cottage was a great place to stay while visiting Walla Walla. Very clean and welcoming, with a very comfortable bed and nicely appointed living area. The bathroom is tight (one person only) and the shower is configured for someone who is 6'5" but the water pressure was great and no issues with hot water between two people. The neighborhood was nice to walk around with the dogs and it would have been very easy to go into DT Walla Walla at any time (so if you partake at the tasting rooms and don't want to risk driving - stay here!). The only piece of feedback would be better instructions on the AC system. We could not get it to work -- it wasn't unbearable but it would have been more comfortable sleeping if we could have gotten it to function. Would stay here again.
The Pros:The location is convenientâwithin easy walking distance to downtown and situated along a free bus line. The owner was responsive, communicative, and friendly throughout the stay.The Cons:Unfortunately, the property appears to have been neglected. It has a musty odor, is in need of a thorough deep cleaning, and would benefit from some remodeling. The shower handle/faucet was loose and difficult to adjust to a comfortable temperature, likely requiring replacement. There were a noticeable number of bugs both inside and outside the home, and we found animal droppings on the interior kitchen window sill. Additionally, the bed was not a queen as advertised and was quite uncomfortable.Overall, I would not consider staying here again unless significant improvements are made.
Very comfortable stay and very helpful owner. Perfect location to walk downtown every day and to the park across the street.
Comfy bed always a big plus.
Comfy, clean, quiet neighborhood walkable to parks, sculptures and downtown
Just the right size for two, we would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Eldon for sharing your moms cottage
Adeline's Cottage offered my wife and I a relaxing and cozy stay during our short wine tasting trip to Walla Walla. The communication with the host was perfect and the location served our purposes nicely. Highly recommended to those who need a peaceful respite.
Great place to stay for wine trips to Walla Walla. 15-20 min walk to downtown. Whitman college is 2 or 3 min away. Pioneer Park closeby which is great for humans or your fur babies. Our 2nd time here and loved it just as much as the first time.
Eldon's cottage is quaint and cozy. The little walk to town made it easy to leave our car parked and get to know the neighborhood. Eldon was very responsive each time we sent a message to ask a question or let him know about our arrival. We had a great time and Eldon was a terrific host.
Nice place to have a staycation..The bathroom was a bit tight and we couldn't quite figure out the Amazon fire stick. But that was probably more us than anything. But all in all nice place to be.
Yes itâs inexpensive for the town so itâs not elegant but itâs a nice space with good light and a good bed. Great location! Close to everything especially pickleball
The house was ideally located (walking distance) to visit mom at Odd Fellows. Just right for the two of us. The bed was very comfortable such that I didn't wake up with a stiff back! Kitchen equipped to make/simple meals. We would stay again. Thanks
Mr. Otis was wonderfully charming and very helpful. We had a lovely time in town for our celebration of life for my mother and grandmother. We are very thankful for the stay and ease of access to the property and the town at our location. Thank you so very much!!
location was great. the house was clean except for shower. nice to have a new W/D.
There was a tiny amount of dish soap, no body wash for shower, kitchen not well equipped if you plan on cooking.
sheets were threadbare with holes.
damp smelly towels found in washer.
From reading reviews, seems like upkeep is not what it used to be.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Eldon's little house on South Clinton. The air conditioning was very efficient, the home was clean, the wi-fi was great. I liked some of the old fashioned touched like the hutch in the living room with antique china in it. The house is located just a few blocks from Pioneer Park and Whitman College. The downtown is just a short drive away. We bicycled around town and in some of the outlying areas. Love Walla Walla.
Adelineâs Cottage is a quite small house near downtown Walla Walla. It was fine for us, a couple with one dog. It is nothing fancy, doesnât have a dishwasher, limited cooking supplies if you are like us and cook some at where you stay, and no body wash in the shower, which is a first for us at a VRBO. It is in a nice neighborhood, half a mile from downtown Walla Walla, The bed was comfortable, it has air conditioning, and is close to Whitman College and a couple of parks if you travel with a dog. Eldon was good at communicating with us.
I cannot in good conscience recommend this property. It seems to have been neglected for a while. The front room is fine, but the bedroom and bathroom are cramped, not functional, and dilapidated. This space needs a serious remodel before it is rented again.
Adeline's Cottage is a charming little place walking distance to town, the college, and Pioneer Park. You feel like you're stepping back in time with the vintage decor. Eldon was a friendly and attentive host, made sure we were comfortable and that the AC was on when the temps got hot. The amenities were basic, but sufficient for our short stay. I will note that the shower is a bit tight! And I'm on the petite side. It would also benefit from an updated showerhead.
Overall we enjoyed our stay! Thanks Eldon!

This little home is in embodiment of a dream never realized. Forced from the farm in Nebraska during the dust bowl of the 30's and 40's. Adeline Otis and her husband Pearley traveled and began a new life in Walla Walla. Adeline was a school teacher and Pearley found work where ever he could while making a habit of buying small houses to rent to GI's and their families while they were based in Walla Walla. This house was special as it was Adeline's dream retirement home. Small enough for easy house keeping with a yard just the right size for them to maintain, but to her it was the ideal place because it set across the street from her Nazarene church. Unfortunately Adeline passed before she had the opportunity to enjoy herself in this sweet little cottage. Remaining in the family so long ago it has served a need to house individuals and couples for decades. Today Adeline's lineage has decided to re-purpose her small dream abode into something people from far and wide can enjoy. The location is close to everything one would want to visit. From Whitman College to downtown Walla Walla, to East gate and the airport. We hope you enjoy your stay at Adeline's cottage
