Beautiful property and welcoming hosts

We had a really wonderful weekend here. Great communication with hosts and lots of good recommendations of things to check out in the area. The house was unique and cozy with enough space for eight of us. Our favorite part of the house was the yard- spent a lot of time watching the horses, sunsets, and looking at the mountains. We were conveniently close to Joseph, the lake and lots of hiking.

We stayed at this property for a special family event. We also booked one of the adjacent tents, and the second tent was not rented during our stay. This was the perfect spot for our event, with gorgeous views! The hosts were very accommodating and quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had. We enjoyed watching the ponies and farm animals, and the yard was the perfect spot for lawn games and hosting an outdoor dinner. As others have mentioned, the hosts live onsite. However, this was not an issue, and they went unnoticed.

Good view

House was cluttered and dirty. Not well equipped for cooking. We had 10 people they only had beds for 8 The dining room table set 6 we had 10 The living room had room for 5 we had 10 The house is advertised as sleeping 12 maybe if they declutterred the house. They had plenty of parking but had to pay extra to park our 5th wheel trailer. The comment that was made was we need to make hay when the sun shines. Over all had a great view from the front porch.

The view from the house is amazing! The house was very comfortable and it was nice and quite at night. The owners are right next to the house if you have any questions or need anything. That was very helpful.

Wonderful stay

We so enjoyed our time at the Evan’s farm. Out and about during the day but home evenings to enjoy the view and the horses. We were lucky enough to see the beautiful new foals and Kathleen working with the others. The beds weRe so comfy with great pillows. It was so relaxing and I would highly recommend this place. Thank you Grady and Kathleen.

A great place to vacation

Growing up, we used to camp at Wallowa lake. I knew I wanted to take my family to see this awesome landscape, it is too difficult to describe how beautiful the area is. When I found the Evans farm, it looked perfect and it was. It slept all 7 of us perfectly. We were able to relax and see all the sights the area had to offer. Although the owners are on the property with you, they give you all the space you need and you don't really notice they are there. The house is clean and very charming. We were able to bring our dogs, which was awesome since they were able to roam around without being on a leash. The property sits between Joseph and Enterprise, which was nice because it made very close to go to either city depending what you needed. My whole family really enjoyed their stay and we would stay again if we get the chance. Thank you for opening up your home.

Dream come true

Two of my friends shared their love of horses with me on separate occasions. Both are artists. One had never been to the Wallowas. On a whim, I searched VRBO for a house with 3 bedrooms and Evans Farm came up: COMPLETE WITH WELSH PONIES! It was perfect: hospitable hosts, beautiful horses, unbelievable sunrises and cozy, well decorated house with all the warmth you would dream of in a farm house. The hosts are great, and we enjoyed watching them work with the horses but mostly it felt very private and beautifully relaxing and gracious. We would return in a second, and were sad to leave. Weather also cooperated quite well and we had a memorable fall friendship retreat! Thank you.

Beautiful private location

Beautiful home, beautiful scenery and very nice owners. This was a perfect location for our yearly family trip. We had a family pics down here, it was a perfect location. Loved sitting around the dining table for family dinners and front porch sitting with the beautiful mountain scape while the kiddos ran in the yard. The horses coming to visit thru out the day was a big hit with everyone. Highly recommend the Evans Farm 👍👏
