Erica provides a tranquil setting that we just loved. We stayed in Mountain Side 1 and the views were amazing. The city of Walla Walla is 5 miles away and we enjoyed a day at the farmers market, as well as the shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend Erica’s little farm and plan on revisiting ourselves.
