Syvila’s Cottage | Private Garden Near Downtown

Step back in time at Syvila’s Cottage, a charming 1940s bungalow that has remained in the same family and been thoughtfully updated for today. Original character pairs with an updated kitchen and bath, two queen bedrooms, and comfortable spaces for up to four guests.

The real surprise is outside. The nearly half-acre, fully fenced backyard feels like a private garden retreat, with mature trees, colorful landscaping, and covered outdoor dining—perfect for morning coffee, an afternoon in the shade, or dinner after a day of wine tasting.

Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood just a quick four-minute drive from downtown Walla Walla, Syvila’s is an easy, welcoming home base for exploring the valley.

Syvila’s Cottage is a strictly no-pet property. Thank you for respecting the homeowner’s pet policy.

Exterior Security Cameras: For guest and property security, there is a Ring doorbell camera at the front entrance facing the front door and walkway, and an exterior security camera overlooking the backyard. There are no cameras inside the home.
