The heart of downtown Joseph
The location and neighborhood were so convenient. We enjoyed being close to the shops and eateries. The inside of the home was comfortable. The soft towels and bath products were a nice touch.

Jem of a place!
This home was just so fun! The details of this home really surprised me. From the antiques, (brave to have in a rental),books and feel of homie surroundings. The view was awesome! The game room would have been fun with a larger group but, we'll be back to enjoy. Fully stocked kitchen was so appreciated. This home is quaint, and inspires a desire to just relax and take it all in.

Nice to stay in a beautiful part of the country
Great being right in town. Loved having the creek in the back, especially in the morning with coffee. Enjoyed separate living rooms to spread out. Nice having a washer and dryer. Only suggestions: the "game room" could use a refresh and the bathroom curtain needs to be thicker for more privacy from the lumberyard next door.

Not only was this comfortable home located on a creek complete with a resident deer, it is a short stroll to restaurants, shops, galleries, and museums. We look forward to a return visit.

A Quaint House in the Center of Town!
This house was great for 4 of us from the Oregon Nordic Club, close to our other VRBO house. It is quaint, takes you back to the 50s! The beds and the linens were a great touch. I was very impressed with the responsiveness of the host to an issue we had. I wish all hosts were so caring! The location was perfect for us.

Charming Home in a Delightful Location
We stayed here for a girls trip and loved every minute! The location was perfect, the house was gorgeous and full of charm and character. We appreciated the large kitchen for group cooking and the cozy living spaces for relaxing and playing games. The host was responsive and so helpful - even providing local activity options. We would love to stay here again!

Whitehouse by the creek
It had everything we could ask for. The game room was a big hit, playing table tennis, fooze ball, and darts. So was the record player and the old album especially the CCR album. My granddaughters loved it. Granddaughters even caught a crawdad. Let it go after playing with it. Loved the house.

Great spot in the heart of Joseph
This house has a great location right on the main street in Joseph. It’s walking distance to the shopping, restaurants, and grocery store. It’s just a quick drive to multiple trailheads into the Eagle Cap Wilderness. The game room is great for the kids, the vinyl collection was fun for the adults, and the creek behind the place added some great ambiance all hours of the day.

Birthday getaway
This house was definitely my style. The decor was eccentric and fun. The only complaint my kids had was how hot the upstairs got. Overall it met our needs though and made my birthday vacation perfect.
