About this property
University Pub Craftsman | Walk Downtown + Game Room
Historic Craftsman Charm, Just a Stroll from Downtown
Set in one of Walla Walla’s charming historic neighborhoods, University Pub Craftsman is a welcoming 1920s bungalow just a few blocks from Whitman College and downtown Walla Walla.
Original hardwood floors, Craftsman millwork, built-in cabinetry, and a classic fireplace give the home its vintage appeal, while an updated kitchen and comfortable living spaces make it an easy place to settle in for a wine country getaway.
Two bedrooms—a King and Queen—are located on the main floor, along with two full bathrooms with walk-in showers.
Downstairs, the University Pub adds a fun second gathering space with shuffleboard, darts, a pullout sofa, additional bathroom, and small office. It’s a great spot for a little friendly competition after a day exploring the Valley.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard is made for relaxed Walla Walla evenings. Grill dinner, gather around the fire pit, or enjoy a glass of wine outdoors while your four-legged travel companions have room to roam.
Walk to Whitman College and downtown for tasting rooms, restaurants, coffee, and shopping, then come home and settle in for the evening.
Historic character, a fun downstairs hangout, a fenced yard, and a walkable location make University Pub Craftsman an easy home base for experiencing Walla Walla.
Please Note: The game room, office, pullout sofa, and additional bathroom are located downstairs and require stairs to access. Both primary bedrooms are located on the main floor.

We had a wonderful stay in Walla Walla! The game room was a ton of fun, shuffleboard and darts. The neighborhood was quiet. We loved the extra touches, such as robes and slippers. I would definitely stay at this beautiful home again.
We were in Walla Walla for Whitman Graduation. This house was very cute, in a perfect location and had all the amenities we needed. Thank you for a great stay!
This was our second stay at the "University Pub Craftsman". It is a cozy, clean, well decorated place that is pet friendly! It is within walking distance of Whitman Campus, Pioneer Park and the downtown area and is in a nice neighborhood. We would definitely stay again!
The location and home were perfect for two couples and one dog. Enough space for us to spend time comfortably at home, with great outdoor space for nice weather days. The game room in the basement was also a great place to spend time after days out in the vineyards.
Great place and great neighborhood. Fenced back yard was perfect with the dogs and the bonus room (shuffleboard particularly) was a hit.
Very comfortable and Terri was highly responsive.
Highly recommend.
We enjoyed the house. Plenty of room for the four of us. Close to downtown and nice neighborhood. The only issue was the setting area in the living area while watching TV was not that comfortable.
This property is close to Downtown and a very central location to wineries, golfing, bars, and restaurants. The basement has darts and a smaller shuffle board table which are fun for an nightly wind down. Thanks for giving us a place to stay.
This house is a great, convenient property for 4 to 6 people. It’s about a 25 minute walk from the downtown area; it has a nice little game room downstairs; it’s super clean and it has nice amenities, like plenty of towels, plenty of shampoo packets, and a welcoming bottle of wine. Definitely recommend.
We enjoyed staying at University Pub Craftsman. Great neighborhood and comfortable accommodations. Just a couple of suggestions in the spirit of continuous improvement: 1) A hook within an arm's length reach of the shower in the downstairs bathroom to hang the bath towel for easy access post-shower. 2) Update the instructions for the Wi-Fi to reflect the router that is currently in the living room.
Absolutely loved the home - old world charm with updated features. Comfortable and very clean, useful amenities throughout the home‼️Just a short distance to downtown and very easy to navigate. I hope to return soon - too many things that need to be done…🎉
Well-maintained property with everything you could possibly need for a stay. Nice private outdoor space and short walk to the Green Lantern. Walking downtown is a bit of a trek so we opted for the short drive. Communication with the manager was excellent. Highly responsive to all questions. It’s worth noting both bedrooms are on the main floor, but one of the bathrooms is in the basement. Great stay for two couples!
I have stayed at another property managed by this group and it was awesome. However, this experience was far different. Originally I booked this place because I planned on bringing my dog. Sadly, she died before the trip. First, I will start and end this commentary by saying that the management group was 100% responsive to all of my contacts. The , downside, none of this should have happened and I should not have had to reach out, three times, due to issues/problems. The beds (both) were uncomfortable, the frame broken on one of them. The HVAC control was resetting itself, such that the temperature increased during the night. The management group was responsive and came to the property twice to reset the thermostat. This should not have happened and the full instructions on resetting the HVAC should be in the house binder. They were not. On Saturday morning of my stay, the Smoke/CO2 alarm in the basement went off, with an oral message to vacate the building. Less than a halfhour later, another alarm in the bedroom was going off. Upon contacting management, they sent their maintenance man who replaced all the batteries in all of the smoke/CO2 detectors. Beyond these maintenance snags, I felt uncomfortable in this home.There were other issues with outside lighting, etc., that were not, in my opinion, as they should be, for a five star VRBO. I paid a handsome sum of money for this and it was not a good experience.
Communication was great and the shuffle board was a hit!

We had a wonderful stay at University Pub Craftsman!It was a clean, warm & cozy home, with a fully stocked kitchen, in a nice neighborhood.The fenced backyard was great for our little dog.
University Pub is in a great location, central to almost anything in the Walla Walla area. Nice cozy place to celebrate our early family Thanksgiving. Owners were very responsive and friendly.
