Experience the most breathtaking views of the lake
Wow, where do I even start? The view here is absolutely breathtaking! With the beautiful lake right in front and the stunning Eagle Cap Mountains in the background, it feels like weâre in a postcard. The house had everything we could possibly want, which made our stay super cozy. There was more than enough parking, and we really enjoyed being able to stroll over to the lake for some swimming or head to the nearby boat dock for paddleboard and kayak rentals. Plus, being just a hop away from the lovely city of Joseph was a huge bonus! We even spotted a few deer in the yard every dayâhow cool is that? Our days were packed with awesome adventures like horseback riding along the mountain trails, fishing and taking a scenic tram ride. It was such a fantastic experience for our whole family, from the little ones to the grandparents!
The house is old (but was refurbished at some point with medium quality materials). It has a tiny bath and a half (plus a full bath) which has no real room to hang towels or put toiletries. The house is totally devoid of things that make a home comfortable, like throw pillows, comfortable living area and deck chairs, rugs, easy to operate TV, etc. Neighbors surround you on three sides but only one neighbor has four-five vehicles in his driveway, mows his grass early in the morning, cooks outside with the smoke billowing over to the deck of the house, and is generally intrusive on your privacy unless youâre inside the house with the blinds drawn on one side. Itâs not a waterfront house, itâs a waterview house with a road and a public boat launch and county park in front of the house. The hostess is so-so on communication, with frequent snippety answers or retorts to your questions or concerns. She apparently thinks having deer on her lawn near the deck is something to encourage and enjoy, even when they are constantly relieving themselves on the paver pathway to the house door (which of course can be easily tracked into the house).. Very unsanitary and the hostessâs response was âmost guests like themâ. Itâs a question of sanitariness (and whatâs best for the deer, which should be relegated to the wild for their own well-being and not relaxing in the front yard of an old house in a crowded subdivision.). The hostess did shovel off the deer âlitterâ as she calls it.
Perfect spot for two couples or families. The views during the day and stars at night - magical. We enjoyed the deer that frequent the yard. So many fun experiences- Joseph Branch Railriders (we did the trip out of Minam), gondola/hiking, kayaking, ATV in Hells Canyon, hiking Chief Joseph Trail. Enjoyed Terminal Gravity and Embers Restaurants.Such a joy to come back to our cozy home and relax enjoying the views.
Our family loved this property as our launching point into the Wallowa lake area. Very comfortable, clean, well stocked and the view was majestic. Responsive kind host. Highly recommend.
The house was well appointed and very comfortable. The view of Wallowa Lake was superb and we spent as much time as we could on the deck. Cooked every meal in an efficient kitchen. Across the street from the dock and beach. Bathrooms were clean and functional although the tub/shower in the main BR was slippery and no grab bars or mat for safety. Mattresses were tired. Overall, an excellent rental. We will be back.
We love the view off the deck. Could sit there all day if Mother Nature cooperates. The house is comfortable and has everything you'd possibly need. Zero complaints. Stayed there two years in a row and it won't be the last time.
We enjoyed our stay at Wahluna Terrace. We spent mornings and evenings on the deck enjoying the outstanding views. Diane is a terrific hostess, checking in to make sure everything is satisfactory. She provides lots of information about the area making sure you don't miss a thing! We would love to come back and rent both of her houses to bring family.
We had a great time! 4 adults and 2 kids fit perfectly. The views, booking process, communications with the owner and accommodations of this home are fantastic! We will be back!
The title pretty much sums it up â this property sits right across from Lake Wallowa and offers sweeping views of the water and mountains that border it. The town of Joseph is a mile or so down the road, and there's a greenbelt that runs right past the house if you want to walk or bike into town. The host, Diane, is super communicative and responsive, and goes to great lengths to ensure the property is in pristine condition. When we get back to Joseph, this will be the place we stay again â it's just perfect. Thank you!
We had a great time at our house, everything was as described and the Mountain View is amazing. Lots of quick access to trails nearby for any hikes and super short drive to downtown Joseph or anything around Wallowa Lake.
Perfect size, clean & roomy. Thought we would be right on the lake but were across the road. Beautiful view of lake.
Enjoyed different deer coming in the yard eating the apples.
Having the unobstructed view of the Wallowa mountains and Wallowa lake were beyond wonderful -- each morning we were greeted with deer families nibbling in the front yard. We loved the house, warm and welcoming. Our four days there couldn't have been better.
We all loved our stay in Joseph. The house was even better in person than in the pics and was very well equipped and so convenient to the water and town. There were resident deer and even a bobcat walked through, which was all really spectacular. We all would definitely stay here again. Check in and out was very easy as well. Thank you for the opportunity!
This is the very best property near Joseph! View plus spacious plus well-equipped plus helpful owner plus location. It couldnt have been a better experience. Thank you!
What a magical retreat this was for our family. Being able to walk across the street for our paddle boarding adventures was amazing. The deck/view was so peaceful. We will definitely be back.
This house was my childhood home. It was unbelievable that it is now a rental property. Our family thoroughly loved the view of "our" lake and sharing memories of living in the house. The house has been nicely updated and refreshed. It was awesome!! I would recommend staying here. We hope to be guests whenever we plan a trip to Joseph.
My family and I had a wonderful time and it was such a treat to wale ip each day to the spectacular Wallowa mountains and Wallowa Lake! I sent pics to other family on where we were and they said it looked like a fake backdrop! Haha!
We rode the tram, spent time at the resort, played mini golf, went on a hike with some amazing views, explored the town of Joseph and went into some great shops and restaurants. Itâs a great place to be to get away. It was cleansing and I felt recharged after we left. I would recommend to stay for this experience!
Check-in and Check-out was very easy. House was clean and had a gorgeous view of the lake and mountain range. Enjoyed a nice hike, within walking distance of the house. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!
Very clean, well stocked with house necessities. Very short drive into Joseph. The lake is across the road and you have a stunning view outside the beautiful picture windows. The home is very comfortable. View, view viewâŠ
This is a very clean house with well equipped kitchen. It is located just outside of town. It has a great view (the photo is accurate!). One can walk to a trail leading to town just a few steps down the road. We needed a household item and Diane responded right away. Thank you! Overall, a great stay.
