What a great and convenient location for wine tasting on Red Mountain…
“What a great and convenient location for wine tasting on Red Mountain. Right on the river surrounded by a quaint little vineyard. Lots of charm to the house with different looks and feels. We will go back again for sure!”

Very enjoyable with easy access to all RM wineries and a day trip to Walla Walla…
“My wife and I were invited by our good friends, Greg & Stacy Lill, to spend a beautiful October weekend at the Red Mountain Villa. We stayed downstairs and had all the comforts of home with all sorts of rustic space inside and out. Very enjoyable with easy access to all RM wineries and a day trip to Walla Walla. Thank you, Greg, Stacy and Brad. Great visit!”

The villa is charming and scenery is stunning...
"The villa is charming and scenery is stunning. It's so cool to stay at a new and growing estate winery! The Vancours are outstanding host/owners. We'll be back."

Like being transported back 300 years to a small winery in Tuscany...
"Amazing place! Like being transported back 300 years to a small winery in Tuscany...the rustic charm, the massive grounds overflowing with Life and grapes and flowers, the Yakima River bubbling pensively in the background. I couldn't help but fantasize about owning a piece of this Eden - living off Nature's grace, and sharing with friends the wines produced lovingly from the vines right outside the living room windows. This is a place for wine pilgrims to get grounded and re-connect with the joy of wine, before tasting the gorgeous wines of Red Mountain AVA. Highly Recommended!"

Brad is a wonderful host and we look forward to booking many future stays at this Vancour property!
"Amazing property with vineyard and orchard warmly wrapping this Italian country villa. We walked, literally walked, to Tucannon Cellars just a few lots down the road and took our bikes to Terra Blanca and then Kiona Vineyards. Although those are both must see destinations, the best place to sip Vino is in the downstairs Cellar of Red Mountain Villa or on the riverbank of this property. Brad is a wonderful host and we look forward to booking many future stays at this Vancour property."

A Great New Villa To Stay At On Red Mountain!
"Red Mountain has become famous for being one of the premier vineyard regions in Washington State, which establishes it as the most expensive fruit for winery’s to buy. With that notoriety comes tourism, and the last few years has seen a huge surge of interest in wine enthusiasts wanting to visit. The problem – almost no where to stay! So I was thrilled to learn of a new vacation rental that’s available, and was honored to be the first overnight guest to enjoy the experience!
Red Mountain Villa is a gorgeous, old classic farm house built over a century ago, originally as a train station and converted to a home about 50 years later. This is the perfect place for 3 couples to rent, with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms ( 2 Kings & 1 Queen) and plenty of room to relax and hang out together before or after wine tasting. It’s rustic and elegant at the same time.
The Villa interior really has old world charm, with stone floors in some areas and amazing wide plank gorgeous pine floors in others, with exposed wood beams and brick arched doorways. The furnishings are a nice blend of old and new, with antique chairs, lamps, and cabinets balanced with brand new beds, couches, and an amazing dining room table perfect for big groups.
We loved cooking in the huge kitchen, which is a great feature since there’s not much for dining in the area. And the new high-end grill outside is a BBQ lovers dream as well, especially if like cooking at 625 degrees!
And the lower level of the home has it’s own kitchen as well, and with a bedroom, bath, and large living room with a huge new flat screen TV, it’s an apartment in itself for the couple who really wants privacy. And of course the home is equipped with free wi-fi and air conditioning, a necessity in Washington’s hottest growing region.
One of Red Mountains best attributes is 300 days of sunshine a year. We loved the private, 4 acre back yard where the sprawling lawn leads you past small orchards, grape vines, or various fruit trees (peaches, plums, cherries which you are free to pick and enjoy during your stay.) Pull up an Adirondack chair by the lazy Yakima river under the soothing shade canopy of the massive 100 year old Black Walnut trees. If you’re lucky you’ll get to meet the family of wild white kittens or the 4 baby owls that seem to enjoy the property as much as you will.
The two best places in the area to get married are within 2 minutes down the road, with a gorgeous new barn/event center at Tucannon Winery and a spectacular facility at Terra Blanca. The Red Mountain Villa is the perfect place for the wedding party to stay before and after the ceremony!
As the first guests to stay at the Villa, we enjoyed the quiet, peaceful surroundings and not having to drive far after a day of tasting wines, as there’s wineries within blocks and the remainder only 5 minutes away. This undiscovered gem in Red Mountain will soon be hard to book once the word gets out."

An outstanding location on the Yakima River...
"Excellent accommodations and outstanding location on the Yakima river. So many wineries nearby makes this a perfect hangout."

What a special retreat for anyone wanting an unique place to stay while wine tasting in Red Mountain.
"Our family spend a wonderful weekend at Red Mountain Villa. The Villa is perfect for family gatherings and wine tasting excursions. Beautifully decorated with old world Italian design. The host gave us wonderful recommendations to keep us entertained while visiting. There are several wineries nearby. We had a lovely walk to four of them. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials to make you feel at home. The grounds are vast and well maintained which lent to many playful adventures for the children. What a special retreat for anyone wanting an unique place to stay while wine tasting in Red Mountain. We plan to return to create more special memories at this villa."
