Great location in a quiet neighborhood just 3 blocks from town. With the fenced yard and deck, it was the perfect place for us and our lab. Lots of areas to walk, and very close to town.
What a great 2 bedroom cottage! It is a couple of blocks away from downtown and very quiet with great views. A big plus was that all windows have been replaced and the propane fireplace heats the house beautifully. We have stayed in a few older homes in the area with original windows that can make for a cold stay. It really does have everything you need for a great stay. Very comfortable King size bed, dressers and closets in the bedrooms, extra blankets, sheets and towels, and a comfortable living room. Highly recommend.
The house was very clean and comfortable. Location was great for a walk to town to shop or eat out. We ate at Embers and highly recommend it! Thanks for a great stay!
This is a cute house remodeled with quality appliances. I love that they kept the 1940s vibe. Well done! Easy walking distance to shopping & dinning. Only a few minutes drive to the lake to swim or picnic. If you are here in the fall check out the spawning Kokanee moving from the lake up the river. They are beautiful.The backyard has a good fence so your pup can go out & not be supervised every moment.

Property was perfect for us.It was so clean and quiet, so much thought was put into it by the hosts. It had everything we needed including a huge fenced in yard that was clean and large. Close to downtown Joseph that we could walk to get some great food and shopping.Contact with the hosts was immediate and helpful! We will definitely be going back!

This house was perfectly equipped, spotlessly clean, and comfortable beds. Great for a weekend in Joseph and you can walk anywhere in town. Great place to stay!
Cozy cottage with charm! It is definitely a wonderful place to stay with a dog. The back yard is completely fenced in. The location to downtown was perfect and we love the area!
It has been such a great opportunity for me and my family to stay over 4 nights.

Wesme you were one of THE BEST guests we have ever had! Thank you for your quick communication and taking such great loving care of our cottage. Please come see us again.
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.
Serendipity Cottage was absolutely lovely! Clean, welcoming and very well appointed, we had a fabulous visit in the breathtakingly beautiful town of Joseph.

Thank you for the kind review William, come back and see us again!
Very clean, comfortable beds! Easy access/check-in. I appreciate that they accept dogs, however, there was a surprise dog fee after I paíd, sent via a message from the owner. I wish that fee was initially disclosed. Good overall value. Super cute house, very large back yard.

We love being dog-friendly! The pet fee is openly disclosed and added to the reservation when the guest is honest about bring bringing their pup. This guest only made a reservation for herself and her husband--she self-disclosed that she brought her dog after check-in, which then triggered the pet fee to be added later than when she made the reservation.
Great vacation home. Super clean, well equipped with everything you need. Great for families and pets because it has a fully fenced yard and a deck where you have a partial (but excellent) view of the mountains. Perfect location easy walk to Joseph’s cute little downtown. We will definitely stay here again!

Thanks Tami! We'd be glad to have you back. This winter has been an awesome time to play in the snow.
Cottage is just as advertised… quiet neighborhood close to everything. I was in town for the Sled Dog Race and it was very convenient being close to everything. Very comfortable beds! Hope to be back next year!
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 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 husband and I and dogs went to Jospeh to hike and have a quick getaway. The house was perfect for us! It was clean, cozy, great location to hike and go to the lake. We were also able to walk to town. Our dogs loved roaming the big yard after a long hike. We would definitely stay here again!
