Perfect Vaca Spot w/ Unbeatable View

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.

Great location

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.

Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had six family members at this house for four days and absolutely loved it. The house is extremely comfortable, the view of the lake and mountains is incredible and the location is a nice balance of close enough to the lake and to Joseph, OR without being smack in the middle of a lot of other people.

Awaken to an amazing view

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.

Wonderful Lake and Mountain Views

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.

Beautiful Wallowa Lake Family Home

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.

Perfect house, perfect view, perfect stay

The title pretty much sums it up — 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 — it's just perfect. Thank you!

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Location

Ok but far from great

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 you’re inside the house with the blinds drawn on one side. It’s not a waterfront house, it’s 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 hostess’s response was “most guests like them”. It’s a question of sanitariness (and what’s 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 “litter” as she calls it.

View and Comfortable

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.

Lovely late summer trip!

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!

Wallowa Terrace Retreat is a must-stay!

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. It’s 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!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Daggett

Host profile image
Our family has lived, laughed, worked, loved and played in this beautiful valley for generations. We consider ourselves fortunate to be here and want to share some of the beauty and wonder with others.

Why they chose this property

Wahluna Terrace Subdivision was established in the 1950's creating a few lots on the terminal moraine (glacial deposit creating a water barrier to hold the lake waters) of Wallowa Lake. From there, the most iconic lake and mountain views can be enjoyed. With the adoption of land use planning laws as well as the citizens' desire to protect the area, there will likely not be additional lots created. So, we treasure this property and hope it will be in our family for generations to come.

The subdivision was named after 'Wahluna' who was a daughter of Chief Red Wolf of the Wallowa Band Nez Perce (Nimi'ipuu) people. According to the legend (full story is in the house for you), she is remembered as the 'Great peacemaker'.

What makes this property unique

The location of the house is great. Not only does it have great views, it is a short distance to the beaches and the boat ramp at the north end of the lake. It is close to downtown Joseph or go the other direction and find yourself at the south end of the lake where there are attractions, trail heads and lots of things to do. It is just a short distance west to the Iwtemlaykin park or to the trailhead that accesses the top of the moraine for a nice long hike! But, most of all, it is comfortable. Stay in and relax...
