When you stay at the Mt Joseph unit, in the historic Litch Hotel, you will enjoy both history and modern craftsmanship. The Litch Building was first built in 1880 as a 1-story saloon. in 1901 a dog knocked over a kerosine lamp and much of the building burnt down. In 1909 Sam Litch rebuilt it with an expanded footprint and a 2nd story. Over the past 140 years it has been home to countless businesses including a hotel. Todd and Andy ,The McKee Brothers, purchased the Litch building in 2018 in considerable disrepair. Wanting to preserve this important part of Wallowa County history, they poured their blood, sweat and love into first reinforcing and then renovating the building back to much of its original grandeur. This project is on going and will eventually include 13 short term condos each with a unique Wallowa County theme.
