Custom built dog-friendly home on Wallowa River with WiFi, deck & gas stoves

Wallowa River House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This beautiful Wallowa River frontage home is located at the resort side of Wallowa Lake making it a short trek to the trailhead or any of the activities like the Wallowa Lake Tramway, Vali's Restaurant, and so much more!

This beautiful custom-built home has plenty of living space. The large living room has beautiful tall windows overlooking the Wallowa River. The flatscreen TV is mounted at the ceiling, so while it is available to watch, you may just decide to watch the water roll by instead. The dining room has a convenient dining table and a propane fireplace with a glass door that opens onto the wrap-around deck that overlooks the Wallowa River. Just beyond the living and dining areas is a gorgeous kitchen with tile countertops and all the conveniences of home.

Tuck into a main-floor queen bedroom, or walk upstairs and find two additional bedrooms - one with a queen bed and the primary bedroom with a king bed, small wet bar, sitting area, and another propane stove. The upstairs bathroom features a soaking tub.

The outside living of this home is focused on being located on the Wallowa River. The wrap-around deck with a variety of seating/dining options is a highlight for many repeat guests that love to watch the Wallowa River flow by.

THINGS TO KNOW
Seasonal bbqs are available from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. BBQs are propane and tanks are provided. We strongly encourage you to review your tank level in the morning and if a replacement is needed please reach out to your local contact for a tank replacement.
No cable available
No fires or firepits are ever allowed due to the heavy timbered area and county restrictions.
Winter Rentals: We always recommend 4x4, chains or studded tires. Some guests have better traction tires and can access the homes without them, but it is not recommended. Also, the weather changes rapidly at this mountain location. We suggest preparing for the worst. Also, many Les Schwab Tire Centers have the ability to purchase tire chains, and if you don't use them, will take them on return.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.



Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.

Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Visit to Wallowa River

This house was large, clean, comfortable and well-stocked. But best of all, it was right above a beautiful, rushing River that soothed us day and night. A perfect place! Thank you!

Great Place

Our family loved this house. It had everything we needed. One morning while we sat drinking our coffee on the deck listening and watching the river a deer walked up along the river in front of us! It was amazing. The house was everything it said it was. We would highly recommend this place!

Wallowa River House

We had a great time. Property could use some sprucing (broken blinds, torn couch), but clean. We would stay here again.

Vacation 9/4 - 9/8

Loved this cabin! It was super cute and clean. Loved listening to the sound of the river day and night. Location was conveniently located within walking distance to the lake and trailheads. I will definitely be renting this space again.

Five Stars

Spacious, beautiful home in a great location! This property is located in a quiet neighborhood close to parks and a two minute drive to the lake. During the day, we enjoyed exploring the Wallowa area and our evenings relaxing in the vacation home. We highly recommend this VRBO!

Great stay

A pretty location by the river and a well kept, spotless house. A couple of minor maintenance issues fixed would make this a perfect stay, but it was still great and we’d happily return. Note: it was a heat wave when we stayed but the house still stayed cool thanks to the river!

Breath taking

The location of the home was next to a stream which sounded wonderful in the evening. It was in a quiet neighborhood. The home itself was beautiful and very clean. Would definitely recommend as a family getaway and would definitely stay again.

Winter wonderland

This is an amazing house. We are local so we have been to area many times and have stayed in many different houses and we have a new favorite. It was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking all of our meals, and the decorations and furnishings were so warm and cozy. We truly loved everything about it and can’t wait to return.

We loved the River House!

Our family had the BEST time staying at this property! We loved the coziness of this home, comfy beds and the peaceful sounds of the river. Stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and some fun books and games too! Walking distance to coffee shops, mini golf and trails too! 10+

Beautiful River Mountain Cabin

We loved staying in this cabin. Thank you for having a recliner. I dont sleep well in a bed so that helped me alot! We have family that lives in Joseph. It was very convenient being able to stay so close to them. We loved the views of mountain river and pine trees. It was lovely! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin.

Great location but limited parking

This house was amazing and fit our family perfectly. Super close (walking distance) to all the fun activities. The only issue was parking was tight. It says you can fit three vehicles but we had just enough space for two.

Amazing!!

If your on the fence about staying at the lake or the river by far the Wallowa River House is the place to stay! There’s something about hearing the river that is so peaceful…..along with being in the woods. We will be back and thanks for sharing your home!!!

Right on the river

Newer cabin very well kept and clean. Literally 10 ft from the river, which is pretty special. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable furniture. Couldn’t be much closer to the Wallowa Lake trailhead with 3 trails if you like to walk. Good experience with the management company Two things to be aware of: being in the river canyon it is dark much of the day (we found ourselves leaving the area in the evening to walk in the sun) and the neighbors are very close
