Great family vacation!

So glad we went! Joseph, OR is a hidden gem. So much to do and see. All the outdoor fun you could want. This little 2 bedroom cottage was just right for our family and dog. Close to downtown, places to walk the dog around, and a fenced in spacious back yard. We look forward to returning.

Cosy Home: Very Dog Friendly

Neat and tidy with everything you will need for a getaway in Joseph. Located only afew blocks from Main Street, it's a short walk to shops and restaurants. We were there in February over President's Day, so many places were on winter hours. We still had a lovely time with the mountain views and bright blue sky. We plan to come back in the summer.

Walking tour of a once cool, but now tourist town.

Best pet property I've seen. Even without a pet, great place and location. A bit spendy but was happy with the stay and would do it again. Note to self....if you don't like crowds, check the calendar and avoid Chief Joseph Days. We wondered in not knowing what was going on and still enjoyed it.

Comfortable and convenient cabin

This cabin is perfectly (walking) located close to town for enjoying all that Joseph has to offer. The home is clean and well appointed with comfortable beds and spaces. We had three people staying with no issues in space or bathroom time. The host was quick to respond to all communication and welcoming in all of her responses. Although we ended up leaving the dog at home with a petsitter, the cabin was ready for a canine companion with bowls, dog towels etc. I hope to come back and stay during the winter! I would not hesitate to recommend this cabin to my friends and family.

Joseph, OR magic

Our stay in Joseph, and in this rental, was magic. The beauty and peace abounds! If you are looking in a rental for glamorous and modern, forget it. If you are willing to be transported back in time and stay in this small up-kept house straight from the 50's, you have found your dream. Yes, there are creaky floors and drawers, old style two person kitchen table, and small tub and shower but all just added to the charm. Appliances, heating, water heating, beds, and furniture were all great. And the fenced backyard, though non-assuming was spacious and PERFECT for our pup (along with the added dog bed, toy, treats and pup towels provided) For us people, the side deck was a nice place for morning coffee, and an evening vantage of beautiful sunsets. Walking the neighborhood, sooo close to the cute downtown AND to Wallowa Lake..it all felt like a big comfortable hug. I would stay here again in a heartbeat

Very clean, well kept happy house. Very dog friendly. Fenced backyard with lovely well kept lawn. Clean up after Fido so it stays this way! Well stocked and two block walk to town with top shelf views of the Eagle Cap Wilderness and 5-minute drive to Wallowa Lake. A true gem.

Perfect in every way

My husband and I traveled to Joseph with our dog. The house had everything we needed. The yard was perfect for our dog and the neighborhood was fun to explore. The kitchen was very well stocked and the living room was very comfortable. The gas stove warmed the place completely. The bedroom was great with lots of storage for our things. We can’t wait to return in the summer and enjoy the deck.

The kitchen table has leaves that should extend...but they were inoperable, we had 2ft. x 3ft. of table space to use!! After this Vrbo experience I cancelled 2 other reservations with Vrbo.

My dog Sherpa and I hiked, relaxed, and thoroughly enjoyed this lovely comfortable cottage in Joseph. Gorgeous views, a huge fenced yard, and all the amenities, including a bathtub for soaking weary limbs after epic hikes into rugged wilderness. An adventurers paradise, especially for dog lovers.

Very tight quarters

The location of this house is very convenient to downtown area, we frequently walked to eateries and it had a nice deck that looked out over the mountains. This is a very small home. The bedrooms and bathroom are very tight. With 4 adults staying there, there is minimal space for toiletries, hanging wet towels and maneuvering around the room safely. The TV is older and only connects to Amazon Prime and Netflix. No local TV or weather available. We were even able to sign on to our own streaming services such as YouTube. For the cost of renting this property, we did not get anything near what I expected.

Nice relaxing stay

This was a great place to stay for the week with my wife and two Shiba Inu’s. Great location and Joseph was a blast. Stephanie was so welcoming to us. We cherish our vacations and this was just what we needed to decompress from very demanding jobs. We also celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary while we were here. Our dogs loved the backyard and hanging out with the deer. Thank you for a great experience! Jeff and Christa
