Our Vacation rental named "Brew House Boarding" is located in the historic 100 year old Carrico Building in downtown Kittitas, WA. Built by a Barber, James Carrico, it was used for many types of businesses downstairs and has always been room rentals upstairs. When we purchased the building our vision was to provide a space for a small microbrewery on the first floor. We set about renovating the downstairs and in 2013, Colockum Craft Brewing opened for business. It survived about 2 years and promptly went out of business. We had already planned the upstairs spaces and continued the renovation. It still bears the name Brew House because of the Brewery. The old tap room is now used as a private event venue when the suites are reserved as part of the package, by the party goers. This unique property is perfect for a quiet vacation or quick stop with it's close proximity to I-90. It's a short drive to the hub bub of Ellensburg, Yakima River Canyon or Gorge Ampitheatre. Here we offer a quiet, quaint experience of home town rural life in the small farming town of Kittitas. We truly are just a 10 minute drive to CWU and Ellensburg because traffic jams here, are well, non-existent.

When we purchased the building in 2011 it was being used as low rent apartments. It had been unloved and neglected to a point where we were unsure it could be renovated. We talked of tearing down the building. Finally rolling up our sleeves, we began the 4 year task of total interior demolition. There was little that could be saved besides the original wood flooring found under the nasty carpets. With the remodeling nearly completed, doing the majority of it ourselves. We created the upstairs suites to reflect our heritage being born and raised in the great Northwestern United States. My husband grew up on a ranch in Salmon, ID and rode bareback horses for years before getting too old to continue his folly. I grew up on small farms and a dairy as a child and have always been a bit of a tom boy. Renovation & building seems to be something my husband and I do naturally. The rooms are a labor of love we especially enjoy sharing. Many of the furnishing are from our past. We choose to share them with our guests with hopes of creating a unique experience you won't find anywhere else.
