Perfect Lake Getaway

The property was a great getaway that was more than adequate for my husband and I as well as the two other couples that stayed with us. The check in and checkout process was clear and easy, and the house was perfect for a relaxing few days at the lake. We will absolutely be staying here again.

Gods Country

The property is a beautiful lakefront property. Easy accessibility to the water for jet skis, paddle boards, kayak's, fishing or swimming. The house is perfectly set up for a relaxing and family enjoyment. It is well stocked and clean. The owners are quick to respond to any questions. The town of Joesph has great places to eat and shop. The state park has all kinds of family activities and you should always take a trip up the Tram. Wonderful vacation and family time.

Summer fun! Fishing and more fishing🎣

This was a last minute getaway that did not disappoint! The location and views are incredible. We spent a long weekend enjoying all the comforts this home had to offer. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you might need, a large table for enjoying meals together, comfortable living area for late night movies after viewing the stars from the deck, comfortable beds to recharge. Days spent fishing and paddling around from the private dock…weekends like this fill your soul!

Gorgeous view & location!

Our family had the best time!! Lake access for dock fishing, paddle boarding, & kayaking was a dream. The layout was great, everything we needed in the kitchen, the heated bathroom floor was a dream. Sitting on the back patio had the best view. So peaceful!! Just what we needed. We hope to go back soon! Narrow road and parking, but we didn’t have any big vehicles or trailers.

Nice stay, but we left early.

Overall, this is a lovely cabin. Unfortunately, concrete stairs leading to the main entrance are crumbling and railings are less than stable. The layout is definitely less than ideal, considering the only bathroom is up a steep stairwell that I would not recommend for anyone who has mobility issues. Bedding was very comfortable and all slept well. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for family meals. The neighbors are an elderly couple who seem nice but are very close and hinder privacy on an otherwise very private cove. The $250 cleaning fee was exorbitant, given the soiled bathroom wall. We ended up leaving a day early-it just wasn’t the level of privacy we wanted with active neighbors so close by.

The property could use a good clean outside. There NO a/c in the house. It was pretty hot. Which made swimming in the lake wonderful. But bed time was hot. Lots of stairs. Not enough toiletries out for 3 night stay for the 6 of us.

We love Wallowa Lake!

This is the second time we've stayed at this house and it's very darling. I think they've done some updating and the style and furnishings are lovely. Of course the draw for us is the lake, we absolutely love it. And downtown Joseph feels like home to us. Unfortunately we lost power 4 or 5 times, which is no fault of the owners, but it was a big bummer. Someone in our family uses a cpap machine so his sleep was constantly being disturbed. And we had spent hundreds of dollars on food and we were worried it would spoil. Luckily the power came on before that happened. If I had any suggestions I would say to provide a fan for every bedroom and the living room. It was hot while we were there and with the bedrooms upstairs we all needed fans but there were only two provided. Thanks for letting us stay at your place!

Very misleading add

This is anything but a lovely home. The general appearance of the property was terrible. The home is scabbed together from every sale item and garage sale. The bathroom is the perfect example of this home. The tile shower rotted out so they glued a plastic corner shower in and left the other half of the rotten shower in place. The dock had no ramp so we had to crawl out on the bow of the boat and climb over rock to get to the home made ramp that is too steep. We talked to owner,no ramp the water is too high-what?everyone else was working. The stairs! No old people or physical problems here you won't make it. You can do better than this property!!!

Lovely location but fell short of expectations.

Came to Lake Wallowa to hike and tent camp. Loved it so much here that we decided to splurge on a lakefront rental for a couple of days. Were pleased to find one available, albeit more expensive than we are accustomed to. But hey...it was right on the lake! Location is convenient to town as well as many hiking trailheads. First impression of the home was it is more of a traditional "lake cabin" vs the upscale home we had expected based upon the rental price. That being said, the view of the lake and Eastern rim of the glacial bowl was perfect. Owner/manager very responsive when we couldn't get wifi to work. Furniture, beds, bedding, appliances, etc. all good. Very quiet and peaceful at night. The major disappointment came from the fact that we had to clean before we could enjoy it! We were refused an early arrival due to necessary "cleaning " after departing guest, but we were met with nasty windows inside and out, dead bugs in window slides inside, deck covered in debris, spiders and webs prevalent inside home, dishes, cookware and utensils required washing, etc. Also some issues of deferred maintenance like electrical outlets that won't hold plugs, slider lock broken etc. Finally, it was lacking basic amenities usually supplied in our previous VRBO rental experience such as soap, shampoo, hair dryer, etc. With very little effort this rental could be really sweet. None of this amounted to our not enjoying our stay. However, these things could so easily be fixed rather than having this listing fall below expectations and resulting in disappointment.

Lovely little vacation home

We had a wonderful time staying right on the lake..!! We had a great time fishing and it was so nice to just dock the boat at the house..!! Loved the deck and patio. We used the treager and the tri-tip turned out great..!!. There are lots of stairs but it adds to the charm of the cabin feel. Thank you for the special touches, everything was so welcoming..!! We can’t wait to come back again next year..!!

Lake house vacation

This house was in an amazing location! Beautiful views and beautiful lake! Check in was easy. There was garbage and recycle left in the house when we got there and tons of spider webs throughout inside. It could use a good deep clean. The coffee pot was also broken. The biggest bummer was the dock was not in the water. One of the only ones on the whole side of the lake that wasn’t. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time. The other docks around were all lowered as the water level dropped and this house didn’t maintain theirs. We made it work and still had lots of fun. Very quiet and gorgeous location and close to town. Overall the house was fine, we had fun playing in the crystal clear lake and we all had a great vacation.

Nice view

Had nice time, great view and location. I would not recommend for young children or older individuals due to difficulty accessing lake due to steep stairs and steep ramp with no safety rails. Bathroom is also up a steep set of stairs. Cleanliness could be much better, spider webs, food down sides of furniture. Picture shows dock in water, the dock is sitting on rocks. Both neighbors had their docks in water.

We enjoyed our stay so much we have already requested 5 nights next summer. We lived having the dock to swim, paddle board and kayak. The view from the deck was beautiful. Our grandson loved watching the birds. If you don’t like stairs you might look for a different rental.

Disappointing stay

While we had a great time with our adult children, the cleanliness of the house was very disappointing. The overall condition of the place was run down and there were several non-working items. Happy to provide a laundry list of those items if you are interested.
