I stayed at Emma's place while in town for WSU new student orientation for one of my kids. The house is in a great location - right behind the Old Post Office and is a quick walk to downtown Pullman and a 20-minute walk / 5-minute drive to the WSU campus. Additionally, the house was extremely comfortable, and we could tell that even the smallest details were thought of from the furniture, linens, fixtures, and even the outdoor spaces. Staying here with 2 adults and 2 teenagers was great - room for everyone and we (the parents) had the upstairs to ourselves at night while the kids were able to have the downstairs, giving everyone the space they need. This is now our top place to stay while in Pullman and will be the first place we look at for availability for future visits.

What a charming home! Clearly well-loved and renovated. This home was adorable and just perfect for us. Lots of character and unique features. Amazing location. One block from downtown Pullman. Huge pro. It’s the little things that make a difference in an Airbnb. The towels were super fluffy and soft and plentiful! We had access to a full closet of towels if we wanted. The beds and linens were hotel quality and very comfortable. Emma provided a supply of super yummy coffee. Filtered pitcher in the fridge for water. Great communication. Bathroom products smelled wonderful and were of good quality. Highly, highly recommend this Airbnb! We will stay here for a Cougar football game. Go Cougs!

This home was really special. Room for everyone with well appointed kitchen and baths, comfortable beds and fun details behind every door (hint: find the shower). Just a couple blocks up a hill from downtown Pullman. Would stay here again.

We loved the McKenzie BnB! The access code to get in was personalized to us, so it felt very secure. The home is warm, inviting, and free of clutter. It was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and more: Public Goods toiletries, extra towels, coffee maker, tea kettle, Brita water filter, etc. The home is beautifully and simply decorated with calming color palettes, real plants, modern furniture, and framed prints. The linens were soft and the beds were very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay and we look forward to returning! Thank you, Emma!

We visit Pullman about 5-6 times a year. Since we discovered the McKenzie last summer we schedule our trips only for when it is available. The house is comfy, nicely furnished and well-stocked with what you need for your stay. The neighborhood is quiet and the location is an easy walk downtown or a quick drive to campus. Emma is a 5-star plus host. Always responsive and pleasant. We always look forward to coming back!!!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Emma's Airbnb, McKenzie, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I booked, Emma’s communication was exceptional. She was prompt, clear, and made sure every detail was covered, which made the entire process seamless. The home itself is centrally located, making it so easy to get around and visit my WSU college daughter. It was impeccably clean and thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities we needed, which made it feel like a home away from home for my small family. The quality of the sheets and towels was top-notch, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, providing a restful retreat after a busy day. What really stood out, though, was Emma’s decorating style. She has an incredible eye for design, and it perfectly complements the character and bones of the house. I highly recommend McKenzie to anyone visiting the area, and I would absolutely stay here again! Thank you, Emma, for your incredible hospitality!

We were lucky enough to find Emma's place available. We were there attending some WSU baseball games. It fit our family perfectly. My senior citizen parents used the upstairs bedrooms and my daughter, my wife and me took the downstairs bedrooms. Yes, it's a steep staircase, but it's as described. It was perfect for us. Emma was a pleasure to communicate with. Pullman is hilly and Emma's place is perched right over downtown on a steep hill. It's walkable to a bunch of restaurants, but the walk back is steep. Easy enough to drive the few blocks and find the plentiful parking. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks, Emma!!!

Great home in quiet neighborhood. Super location with walking distance to heart of Main Street with restaurants and shopping. Home is comfortable with good beds. Entire home is very clean and accommodating. All three bedrooms are fairly large size and I especially loved the unique walk-in shower downstairs. Nice to have 2 bathrooms. Emma is quick to respond to any questions. I will stay here again when I visit family.

We had a great stay with our 3 kiddos. The place was close to restaurants where we walked every night. The house was beautifully decorated and clean. Emma was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for hosting us.
