Historic Charm
The house was clean and just as promised, it was an historic adventure. We did have a little trouble getting in when we arrived, as there were issues with the doors working properly. the owner was quick to rectify the problem and the rest of our stay was excellent.

Beautiful Historic Home
The house is full of history and stocked perfectly for a stay. The king bed in the master bedroom is super comfortable and the linens were lovely. The only issue was the house was infested with 100’s of flies (both dead and alive) and other bugs. Maybe it had something to do with the time of year but the bugs were a bit much.

Girls' Trip
We had a great time! The location is perfect for walking to downtown shops and eateries. The weather was lovely allowing us to enjoy relaxing conversation in the large well maintained yard and patio. Beds and linens were excellent and the kitchen was well stocked. We were surprised by the television that just came on suddenly (twice a day). We couldn't find a timer setting on it, so we simply turned it off and had a good laugh. Would definitely stay here again.

Yes to the Wisdom House for everyone who has the opportunity to stay! AND the Baker City community hails the refurbishing of this beautiful home. Saving history is vital to thriving cities.

Lovely historical home
I am originally from Baker City, born and raised and have lots of family still there. My family of 5 and my parents decided to rent this beautiful historic home. The home itself was very clean and so cool with all the history and old charm. My family loves history and enjoyed the books about the original owners. The hosts were great, easy to communicate with and reasonable with request, allowing us to have a Thanksgiving gathering at the home. The house was very well stocked with necessities and had an impressive dish selection, great for a holiday meal.The yard was expansive and great for a holiday football. This home is in a central location, great for exploring Baker City. I would absolutely recommend a stay in this beautiful home!

Girls Getaway in Baker City, OR at the Wisdom House
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic home. It was built in 1878 but has every modern comfort and convenience. Well equipped kitchen, all the amenities you would want in the bathrooms. Lots of beds, big dining room, very nice outdoor patio. Only a two block walk to Main Street. Never used our car once we arrived. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay!
Veronica was/is amazing taking care of us/everything. She was/is super easy to communicate with even when you have issues with VRBO. She reached out to VRBO to give me a call to help me. Thank you Veronica for everything! Enjoyed all the local paintings and products for sale. Even purchased some. Read the book you had in the parlor about the house. Good read. Everything is within walking distance. We would stay here again. Our friends are considering this place for their family gatherings in near future. Enjoyed Baker City! Everyone so friendly and helpful. Thanks again.

Historic home experience with updated amenities
The house is located in the historic district of Baker City, It is close to downtown shops and areas of interest. The home is historic but has updated kitchen and baths. I stayed in the bedroom on the first floor and my friends managed the steep staircase to the lovely 2nd floor. We did not access or use the third floor area. We got a quick response when we emailed Victoria regarding the blinds. There is also an alarm system for safety.

Great location, and a fun house to explore
This house is prob the best rental in Baker City for groups. The location is walking distance to fun things down town, even in the winter. The house itself takes a full 20 min to explore; there are so many rooms and interesting things to see. Interesting nooks and decor add to the charm. As with old houses, bathrooms are an issue; 1 upstairs and 1 down stairs. The shower didn't work for us due to pipes freezing. The bath/shower upstairs is challenging for older fellows.

Wonderful getaway in a piece of history
We spent a great 7 nights at the Wisdom House over Christmas. The house has everything you need for a memorable and comfortable stay. The beds and linens are very comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked. The big bathroom has a clawfoot tub that's great for soaking. We enjoyed many dinners around the big dining room table, and a great Christmas Eve and morning around the tree with the fireplaces crackling. Main street is just a block away with lots of great shops to explore. We skiied several days at Anthony Lakes, which was such a relaxing and fun break from the chaos of bigger ski resorts.

Family reunion
The home was very comfortable and welcoming. We especially appreciated how clean everything was. We had just had a bad experience at a home we stayed at for another family reunion where everything was broken down, very unclean and unsanitary. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely home. We hope to be able to do so again. Also loved Baker City-such a fun place!
