Charming townhome next to park, trails, close to downtown, discounts for month+
Just a 2-3 minute drive to historic downtown Ellensburg or a 10 minute walk with a variety of local restaurants, a growing number of locally owned shops, art galleries and grocery stores, this modern and private detached guesthouse by the park, the "Gorgeous George," is a tribute to the late George Rominger, a prominent trucker in the area who was the original owner of the property this house was built on.
This thoughtfully designed 1 bedroom/1 bath guesthouse above a detached garage is within walking distance to several parks, including West Ellensburg park with pickle ball courts and Rotary Park, which features baseball fields, soccer fields, walking routes, a bike park, basketball court and an off-leash dog park. In the winter the soccer fields are groomed for cross country skiing which extends to the walking trails adjacent to Rotary Park. A lake "People's Pond/Irene Reinhardt" with swimming and more trails is adjacent to the park. It's a 10-15 minute walk or few minutes drive.
Enjoy a full kitchen, wifi, smart TV and your own washer/dryer, and full bath with shower to make your stay as comfy as possible. Mini-split air conditioner/heating.
This unit is for one or two guests. Guests beyond 2 (i.e. 3 or 4 guests max) have an extra charge of $20 each for the 3rd and 4th guest. The bedroom has a queen bed and the living room sofa folds out to a futon style into a double bed that could sleep one adult or two (snugly). There is also an electric auto inflatable queen air mattress with firmness adjustment stored in the bedroom closet. Though technically The Gorgeous George can sleep 4, it is better suited for 1-2 adults.
Great mid term rental for traveling nurses and other medical personnel, professors, and other professionals looking for a private, modern, fully furnished, comfortable and convenient place for stays of a couple of weeks to 6 months.

Host is very attentive and responds quickly. Home is very clean and close to everything. Plenty of bedding & pillows. We will stay again if we can when visiting Ellensburg.
Perfect for what we needed. Kitchen even had some olive oil, coffee and sodas (perhaps left over from the last guest) Bedroom had a fan which was appreciated. The best part was a very friendly cat named Boomba who greeted us each time we arrived.
Thought it was very cute and very convient . We were doing stuff at the college and only took 5 min to get there . I don't know if I would have 4 ppl stay again . 2 teens and 2 adults was a bit cozy. My kids are big 5'10 and 6'3 so the sofa bed didn't work for them .we used the air mattress , but there isn't really enough room to set it up and walk in the living room. Also they need more outside lighting in the parking area , very dark out there and kind of creepy at night when we arrived. Overall ,good price and no problems .would stay again

About the host
Hosted by Dawn Conyers
I'm from Alaska and have traveled to most states in the U.S. and many countries abroad. I've been hosting travelers at another short term/vacation rental in Mazama, WA for several years. I love providing a comfortable place for people to unwind for their vacation or after a work day for those traveling for work. My day job is a massage therapist.
Why they chose this property
I love the funky, unpretentious vibe of "Dogtown"/West Ellensburg. Great location just steps from a huge park with a dog park, sports courts, including pickleball, and walking trails. When there's enough snow you can cross country ski at this park just a block away.
What makes this property unique
New, clean and modern in a neighborhood with charm, a couple of minutes to downtown, CWU and a block from parks. Affordable and no cleaning fee. Cool view of an old brick school building that now is apartments.
