Wonderful place to stay

This is a great home with that was so comfortable to stay to spend away in. It was the best stocked home I've stayed in. Everything you need in the kitchen and more was available to use which really made it a home away from home.

Amazing Get Away

We stayed here with two other couples and it was absolutely perfect! The house was so clean and comfortable! And the kitchen was very well appointed! The freeway noise was very minimal and the house was centrally located for all our wine tasting sessions! Jim has thought of everything you will need for a perfectly relaxing stay. We will definitely be putting this house at the top of our list for a future vacation home! Jim was very responsive to all of our questions, and was gracious enough to move our days when the weather proved to be uncooperative! Such a gracious host and a bottle of wine was waiting for us upon checking in!We had a fabulous stay and cannot wait to return!

Very comfortable and beautiful sunsets.

Although we didn't have a bottle of wine set out to greet us (saw that the previous guest did), we still enjoyed the soft beds and beautiful views out back. We used this as a base as we travelled to Pomeroy and back to visit family graves. It was so comforting to relax and share memories in this beautiful home. I was so taken by the view out the patio windows. Although it is right next to the freeway, you'd never know it. Lovely home. My sister and I thank you.

Jim’s house is lovely and well appointed! I appreciate the lengths he has gone to in order to be environmentally conscious. He was a gracious host and we appreciated the bottle of wine left on the counter to welcome us. It was a little closer to the interstate than we realized so light sleepers might want earplugs but other than that, it was a great homemade to explore the local wineries!

We were so lucky to find this cute, clean home at the last minute, after different booking canceled on us last minute. It was a blessing in disguise, because we loved out stay in this home. The host was very responsive and helpful, with a long list of local recommendations. The house is very conveniently located close to dozens of wineries with easy access to the highway. We enjoyed the BBQ, hot tub and beautiful sunsets on the outdoor patio. The home was so welcoming, with all that we needed and helped to make out trip to wine country most enjoyable!

Great location for Benton City area!

Wonderful home and great host! Very thorough instructions on everything. It was exactly as advertised. Sat out back and watched the beautiful sunrise with coffee every morning. Walked down the street to a great winery one day. Very comfortable with 5 adults and a baby for 4 days. We will look to stay there again if we are back in the area.

Fantastic Location, Incredible Sunset Views

We had 2 wine loving couples stay here for the weekend in Yakima wine country and had a phenomenal stay! The photos do NOT do the views justice and spending 2 sunsets in the hot tub with wine that we bought locally was THE most amazing experience! The house was clean and comfortable with VERY nice bedding. We very much enjoyed the hot tub & fire pit in the evenings. We all agreed, all of us would return to this property 100% on future stays in the TriCities.
