Beautiful private location

Beautiful home, beautiful scenery and very nice owners. This was a perfect location for our yearly family trip. We had a family pics down here, it was a perfect location. Loved sitting around the dining table for family dinners and front porch sitting with the beautiful mountain scape while the kiddos ran in the yard. The horses coming to visit thru out the day was a big hit with everyone. Highly recommend the Evans Farm 👍👏

Authentic farmhouse in spectacular Oregon high-country

A very pleasant farmhouse conveniently located near Joseph and Wallowa Lake resort. We enjoyed the quiet, the views of the surrounding mountains. and sharing a relaxing time with some pretty ponies and a family of goats within view across the country road. We had privacy and everything we needed for a five day stay. The soaking tub was a bonus. Our hosts were friendly and helpful.

Wonderful place to stay

I stayed at the Evans Farm with my ten-year-old son and my parents for three nights last week. We can't wait to return! Not only is the home gorgeous and comfortable, but the setting is stunning, with views of the surrounding farm, horses, and mountains. The home is beautifully decorated with lovely antiques, art work and furniture painted by the talented owner, with every amenity you might need and a selection of interesting books and magazines. It is very charming and full of character. The beds are also extremely comfortable, with high-quality sheets and exceptionally comfortable down pillows. My son loved visiting and watching the horses and goats. We all had a wonderful stay, enjoying coffee, visiting and reading in this lovely home. Thank you, Kathy and Grady!

Incredible Views

We stayed here for the 4th of July weekend with friends - we had 4 adults and 5 kids. We had plenty of room and the hosts were very welcoming and responsive. The house was easy access to the lake, town of Joseph and was in a beautiful location. The views were incredible. We had all the amenities listed on the website. Beds were clean and very comfortable. The owners live onsite as well as a few other VRBO sites - tents/glamping

Wonderful stay

Brought my adult kids and their families out for 5 nights and days to explore the beautiful Wallowa area. The house and surroundings exceeded our expectations. Hosts were amazing, wildlife everywhere plus horses, goats and breathtaking views. Perfect spot for basecamp with everything to do just a short drive away.

Hidden gem in the mountains

This was by far my favorite bnb/vrbo experience. The home is located in a beautiful location with mountain views and overlooking a beautiful property. The home could not have been more comfortable. The beds made you excited to get into bed. The home is decorated with a beautiful eye and gives you the country home feeling. Kathy was great to work with in working with the changes in party side even until the day of arrival. Looking forward to our next stay with her.

Wonderful stay

We so enjoyed our time at the Evan’s farm. Out and about during the day but home evenings to enjoy the view and the horses. We were lucky enough to see the beautiful new foals and Kathleen working with the others. The beds weRe so comfy with great pillows. It was so relaxing and I would highly recommend this place. Thank you Grady and Kathleen.

Dream come true

Two of my friends shared their love of horses with me on separate occasions. Both are artists. One had never been to the Wallowas. On a whim, I searched VRBO for a house with 3 bedrooms and Evans Farm came up: COMPLETE WITH WELSH PONIES! It was perfect: hospitable hosts, beautiful horses, unbelievable sunrises and cozy, well decorated house with all the warmth you would dream of in a farm house. The hosts are great, and we enjoyed watching them work with the horses but mostly it felt very private and beautifully relaxing and gracious. We would return in a second, and were sad to leave. Weather also cooperated quite well and we had a memorable fall friendship retreat! Thank you.

Evans Farm was a Great Holiday

We wanted a place near Joseph where old friends could drop by and family could stay on the weekends and we got that environment at the Evans Farm. Beautiful views, plenty of room, the lawn provided a place for old friends to Gather!!! We couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks Evan Farm!
