Fabulous property! Large, clean, and full of anything you could need. I had an 11 night stay and even used the fire pit in the backyard! They've thought of everything and had a nice surprise of Scandinavian bread when we arrived. I will stay again!

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. We spent our mornings on the porch with our coffee and books just watching the beautiful neighborhood come awake. We walked to town everyday and took an uber easily out to dinner once when it was still too hot to walk. Christina is a delight. I hope to visit again next year.

Perfect Birthday Weekend!

The house is in a great location just a few blocks from downtown. The quarters felt very private and secluded. The furnishings were very comfortable and the size of the suite was perfect. Christina was such a great host. She really made us feel welcome.

Great getaway

First time visit to Walla Walla. This rental is a short walk to all the downtown WW shops and restaurants and a short drive to wineries in the country. We had a great time walking the neighborhoods every day too. The apartment was just perfect. My bed was really comfortable and we both just loved the light and airy Scandinavian interior. There is also comfortable seating outside to enjoy with a cocktail.

Perfect Place!

We stayed here long-term and enjoyed everything about the home. Located within minutes to downtown we walked everywhere; parks, restaurants, wineries and grocery stores. The unit is very quiet, clean and spacious. Kitchen is well stocked and the layout of the unit is great. Owner is gracious and very helpful. You won't be disappointed!

Month Long Visit

Very charming vrbo on second floor of a Victorian home hosted by a world traveler. Plenty of room so grandsons could spend the night and daughter could come for lunch everyday. Within walking distance of downtown and Pioneer Park. A real gem!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Johanson

Host profile image
I was born in India and moved to Sweden at the age of four, where I grew up. Coming from a multicultural family has given me a deep appreciation for travel, experiencing different cultures, and the connections we make through shared experiences.

When I’m not hosting or traveling, I enjoy exploring Walla Walla’s wonderful wine and culinary scene, supporting the arts, and spending time in the beautiful nature that surrounds our community.

Caring for our environment is important to me, and I am continually working to create a thoughtful, sustainable garden while respecting the natural beauty of our area. I appreciate guests helping me care for this special place by recycling appropriately during their stay.

Why they chose this property

I love architecture and history, and this neighborhood offers the perfect combination of both. This home’s Victorian character and timeless details are something I truly enjoy preserving, while thoughtfully adding modern comforts that complement rather than compete with its original charm.

I love that Valhalla is close to the heart of town while still being located on a quiet street lined with century-old trees. It offers the best of both worlds—a connection to Walla Walla’s restaurants, wine, and culture, along with a peaceful place to relax and feel at home.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this house for many reasons. The swing on the covered wraparound porch offers a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a rain or thunderstorm while taking in the fresh scent of rain and staying protected from the elements.

The century-old Sycamore trees lining the street create a beautiful sense of history, with their large, gnarled trunks reflecting the many years and generations they have provided shade and beauty to this neighborhood.

The combination of this home’s historic character and its close proximity to downtown creates a unique connection to Walla Walla’s past and present—a feeling I love sharing with my guests.
