We chose to purchase a cottage in Joseph, rather than Wallowa Lake because we like the sunshine and the easy access to amenities like restaurants and shops. The homes in the community of Wallowa Lake are tucked right up against the mountain-side, making the days feel shorter and cooler once the sun goes behind the mountain. Where ever you choose, this neck of the wood is amazing. We think you'll love it here!

As avid outdoorsmen, we first started visiting Joseph in 1998, when a coworker offered to let us stay in their cottage for the weekend. That weekend we fell in love with Joseph, the Wallowa Mountains and the amazing locals that live there.

We frequently visited Joseph for 15 years before we decided to purchase a home. After diligent house hunting, our real estate agent insisted we look at an adorable cottage we originally resisted because it was a bit out of our price range. When she led us into the front door, we instantly knew that the house felt familiar. As it turns out, this cottage, OUR cottage, was the exact house that my coworker lent to us 15 years prior. It was serendipitous. Meant to be. And now it is our little piece of paradise that we are excited to share with you.

Check yourself in using the electronic keypad and enjoy full access to the house and yard.

Have questions? Just ask! We love pointing people in the right direction for great hikes, restaurants, galleries and things to do in the area.

Located in a quiet residential community, this is your opportunity to interact with the locals. Introduce yourselves to the neighbors and share stories over the fence. The best way to learn about Joseph is through its people.

You will have parking available in the driveway (up to 2 vehicles) and limited street parking. The cottage is within walking distance to everything Joseph has to offer.
Our cottage is dog-friendly for most well-behaved, gracious pets--up to two dogs during a visit. We charge a fee of $40 per dog, per stay (not per night). Dogs are not allowed on any furniture (sorry, no exceptions), and please be sure to pickup after your pup.


Deer are abundant in Joseph. Although tempting, you should NEVER feed the wildlife.
