About the host
Hosted by Kathy Siebe
We have made Wallowa County our home for the last 40 years, and plan to spend the next 40 years here as well! Always on the go, we enjoy hiking, golfing, and being tourists in our own town.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property because it was sad and rundown and we wanted to make it beautiful again. We have completely renovated it and are very happy with the results. We hope visitors will enjoy it as well.
What makes this property unique
We wanted to make this a vacation rental property because the location is perfect. It is close to the north end of Wallowa Lake where the locals swim and play and also central to downtown Joseph. Local deer love our backyard. The backyard is large and would be great for a volleyball game and the patio is perfect for barbecuing.
