Perfect Stay
I, my husband, and his 96 year old mother stayed at the Wild Iris House for a week. It was comfortable, extremely clean and well-stocked. The location was ideal for our outings and on the days Mom decided to stay in, she was comfortable and well-entertained by the deer! Kathy was quick to respond to my questions beforehand, and everything was so well-ordered and instructions so thorough, we had a relaxing, no hassle visit.

Wonderful Home on Joseph, OR
We were very pleased with this home. Very comfortable in every aspect. Well stocked kitchen and linens/towels to use. Very close to everything we did, including going to town for great meals, riding the tram up to the top of Mt Howard and going to Lake Wallowa. We would highly recommend this home and hope to stay here again in the future.

Charming Small Town Oasis
Kathy's house is absolutely adorable. It's perfectly located between the charming town of Joseph and the stunning Wallowa Lake. We loved our stay immensely. The kitchen is extremely well appointed, and the house has everything needed to feel like a safe, relaxing haven. The deer nibbling on the apple trees in the backyard was the icing on the cake. Truly loved it here, and would stay again in an instant :)

The Wild Iris House is a perfect place for a busy weekend. The walk into town just far enough, not far away. The kitchen is well-appointed and the electric car charger was a bonus!

Cute, clean cottage
This house was perfect for a long weekend getaway for my husband and me. It has been nicely renovated and has everything you need. We appreciated the air conditioning as it was quite warm during our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked and the bed was comfy. The location was convenient for walking into town.

Clean & cozy
Although on a busy highway, the landscaping kept noise at bay. Fantastic view of the mountains from this comfortable & cozy home. Linens were exceptional, too. Plus the kitchen was well stocked with great cookware and sharp knives. Sure made cooking in much easier.
