Great stay at the White House. It's an excellent location, walking distance to food & shopping. The lake & hiking trails are within biking distance. Communication with the owner was quick & ready. Very clean home. Be sure to check out the owners store 2 blocks down the street. You'll fall in love with the soap & lotion.
The location and neighborhood were so convenient. We enjoyed being close to the shops and eateries. The inside of the home was comfortable. The soft towels and bath products were a nice touch.
This home was just so fun! The details of this home really surprised me. From the antiques, (brave to have in a rental),books and feel of homie surroundings. The view was awesome! The game room would have been fun with a larger group but, we'll be back to enjoy. Fully stocked kitchen was so appreciated.
This home is quaint, and inspires a desire to just relax and take it all in.
Very authentic historic house centrally located in Joseph. VRBO listing matches the property. Nicely furnished, clean and comfortable - with good AC too. Would stay again and would recommend to others.
Great being right in town. Loved having the creek in the back, especially in the morning with coffee. Enjoyed separate living rooms to spread out. Nice having a washer and dryer. Only suggestions: the "game room" could use a refresh and the bathroom curtain needs to be thicker for more privacy from the lumberyard next door.
Not only was this comfortable home located on a creek complete with a resident deer, it is a short stroll to restaurants, shops, galleries, and museums. We look forward to a return visit.
Great house on the main strip in Joseph, easy walk to shops and restaurants. The house has a lot of charming details. Very spacious. Would work well for a larger group. Wonderful view of the Wallowas. Would definitely stay here again.
The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of space for everyone. It’s a very cute and charming house, we loved the shampoo, conditioner and soap that was provided!!
Was close to everything. But perfect if you just wanted to get away. Very roomy . We Loved the balcony looking over the mountains with the creek running behind . We really enjoyed our stay. Would choose it again.
Enjoyed our stay in this cute 1930's home with a beautiful creekside backyard and game cottage. My family loved the convenience of the location on Main St., the game cottage and the lovely deck with mountain views from the upstairs bedroom.
This house was great for 4 of us from the Oregon Nordic Club, close to our other VRBO house. It is quaint, takes you back to the 50s! The beds and the linens were a great touch. I was very impressed with the responsiveness of the host to an issue we had. I wish all hosts were so caring!
The location was perfect for us.
This is the second time we have stayed on this property and it was just as good as the first time. The old house is quirky and quaint with all we needed. Location is perfect for walking around town.
We had a wedding to attend outside of Joseph. This location was perfect for us. Great walking distance to downtown Joseph, which is a great community. The house was a great location, with great decor and fabulous charm. The owner was professional and speedy to any needs or questions we had. Would recommend highly.
We stayed here for a girls trip and loved every minute! The location was perfect, the house was gorgeous and full of charm and character. We appreciated the large kitchen for group cooking and the cozy living spaces for relaxing and playing games. The host was responsive and so helpful - even providing local activity options. We would love to stay here again!
It had everything we could ask for. The game room was a big hit, playing table tennis, fooze ball, and darts. So was the record player and the old album especially the CCR album. My granddaughters loved it. Granddaughters even caught a crawdad. Let it go after playing with it. Loved the house.
This house has a great location right on the main street in Joseph. It’s walking distance to the shopping, restaurants, and grocery store. It’s just a quick drive to multiple trailheads into the Eagle Cap Wilderness. The game room is great for the kids, the vinyl collection was fun for the adults, and the creek behind the place added some great ambiance all hours of the day.

I was born and raised in Joseph and love living in this beautiful corner of the state. I own beecrowbee just up the street from the house where we make all natural soaps and bath and body products. We also have a small day spa offering massage and facials. My true passion is art which is entwined in everything i do. I hope you will enjoy this house as much as i enjoyed designing it!
