    their was no air conditioning as advertised temps were in the 80's. I needed a dryer, and I couldn't get it to work. I wanted to Bbq some steaks, the dirtiest, funky unit I have ever seen!! The kitchen table has leaves that should extend...but they were inoperable, we had 2ft. x 3ft. of table space to use!! After this Vrbo experience I cancelled 2 other reservations with Vrbo.

    The cottage was comfortable and close enough to walk anywhere in town. We surprised about 10 deer in the back yard upon arrival, including a couple bucks. The Mountain views are great. Joseph is full of nice people and welcoming businesses, and the region is truly spectacular. Everything was just as the host described.

    Very clean, well kept happy house. Very dog friendly. Fenced backyard with lovely well kept lawn. Clean up after Fido so it stays this way! Well stocked and two block walk to town with top shelf views of the Eagle Cap Wilderness and 5-minute drive to Wallowa Lake. A true gem.

    My husband and I stayed for a long weekend of snowmobiling. The host had a wonderful information book with everything we could think to ask about. The house was just as described, the bed extremely comfortable. Plenty of room to relax in this cozy cottage. Absolutely would stay there again.

    My husband and I traveled to Joseph with our dog. The house had everything we needed. The yard was perfect for our dog and the neighborhood was fun to explore. The kitchen was very well stocked and the living room was very comfortable. The gas stove warmed the place completely. The bedroom was great with lots of storage for our things. We can’t wait to return in the summer and enjoy the deck.

    The perfect spot for a long weekend. We enjoyed the fireplace, the first snow of the season, and the view of the mountains. It was a short walk into town. Very convenient. Also loved the fenced yard for the dog. We will be back!

    My dog Sherpa and I hiked, relaxed, and thoroughly enjoyed this lovely comfortable cottage in Joseph. Gorgeous views, a huge fenced yard, and all the amenities, including a bathtub for soaking weary limbs after epic hikes into rugged wilderness. An adventurers paradise, especially for dog lovers. We’ll be back!

    The location of this house is very convenient to downtown area, we frequently walked to eateries and it had a nice deck that looked out over the mountains. This is a very small home. The bedrooms and bathroom are very tight. With 4 adults staying there, there is minimal space for toiletries, hanging wet towels and maneuvering around the room safely. The TV is older and only connects to Amazon Prime and Netflix. No local TV or weather available. We were even able to sign on to our own streaming services such as YouTube. For the cost of renting this property, we did not get anything near what I expected.

    This was a great place to stay for the week with my wife and two Shiba Inu’s. Great location and Joseph was a blast. Stephanie was so welcoming to us. We cherish our vacations and this was just what we needed to decompress from very demanding jobs. We also celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary while we were here. Our dogs loved the backyard and hanging out with the deer. Thank you for a great experience! Jeff and Christa

    Once again we had a wonderful stay at the Serendipity Cottage. Super clean, well equipped and close to everything. Our poodles love the big, fenced yard. We had a minor issue with the TV and the coffee maker and Adam and Stephanie both came by and got us set up. They are excellent hosts!

    This cabin is perfectly (walking) located close to town for enjoying all that Joseph has to offer. The home is clean and well appointed with comfortable beds and spaces. We had three people staying with no issues in space or bathroom time. The host was quick to respond to all communication and welcoming in all of her responses. Although we ended up leaving the dog at home with a petsitter, the cabin was ready for a canine companion with bowls, dog towels etc. I hope to come back and stay during the winter! I would not hesitate to recommend this cabin to my friends and family.

    So glad we went! Joseph, OR is a hidden gem. So much to do and see. All the outdoor fun you could want. This little 2 bedroom cottage was just right for our family and dog. Close to downtown, places to walk the dog around, and a fenced in spacious back yard. We look forward to returning.

    We came a bit early in the season - most things open up Memorial Day weekend. But for our first time to the area we really enjoyed the scenery & it was great having a comfortable place to stay. Appreciated the kitchen items although we didn’t cook. The closest grocery store is in Enterprise. Embers Brewhouse was a great place to eat. My husband loved the fries with his Traeger-grilled burger.
