Cameo Heights Mansion
-all quite reminiscent of Tuscan, Italy," reveals innkeeper Alan Fielding. "
The mighty Columbia River, cutting its course to the Pacific Ocean, is five miles west of the resort, while the lazy Walla Walla River winds its way to the Columbia River adjacent to the south border of the property."
Cameo Heights Mansion is a country inn with amenities akin to prestigious small boutique luxury hotels, including 7 lavish and internationally-themed romantic suites on the first, third, and fourth floors. All accommodations include king beds with the finest high-count, crisp cotton linens adorning top-quality mattresses, air-jetted tubs, showers with rain heads, natural gas fireplaces, and stunning views of the landscape. A diverse range of spa offerings are available, ranging from couple and individual massages and facials, to manicures, pedicures, makeup, and hair care. Guests may indulge in these services within the privacy of their individual suites, relaxing poolside, or in the elegant theatre/media room.
The inn features an on-site restaurant called The Vine, a unique find for fine dining in the region. Available to lodging and wedding guests alike, it's also a popular destination for the public at large, who regularly head there for the exceptional culinary experience.
Five hours from the Canadian border, Cameo Heights Mansion is a resort destination/bed and breakfast situated halfway between Walla Walla, WA (the state's wine and onion capital) and the Tri-Cities (the three sun-drenched cities of Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland, collectively).
"Viewed from Highway 12, one mile to the south, the inn has the eye-grabbing appearance of a beautiful green oasis perched on a loft. It stands surrounded by an organically-grown orchard and vineyard on the north side of the picturesque Walla Walla River Valley, with the distant naturally rustic background of rolling green hills laced with lava rock outcroppings
