As guests we loved our visit, located conveniently by both Central Washington University and downtown Ellensburg’s Restaurants markets, and shopping, just a short walk away. And how convenient recharging our devices with plug-ins conveniently located within reach in our room. Host Steve loves the 1885 Victorian home displaying local artifacts. We will certainly be back
