About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Anderson Stroup

Host profile image
Stephanie and Adam are avid outdoorsmen that love to hike, ski, camp, river raft, and otherwise play outside. We can usually be found out on trail with our fuzzy buddies, Sara & Finnie.

Why they chose this property

We first started visiting Joseph in 1998 when a previous coworker offered to lend us her cottage for the weekend. It was during that weekend that we first fell in love with Joseph and the amazing Wallowa Mountains. Over the years, we continued to travel to the area to hike, camp and ski and became serious about purchasing a home there in 2011.

In 2013, after diligent house hunting, we found a house that we felt good about and prepared to make an offer. On the way to her office to write the offer, our real estate agent insisted we see one more house that we originally refused to look at because it was out of our price range. Upon setting foot inside the house, we instantly recognized it as the little cottage my coworker lent to us back in 1998! Needless to say, it was serendipitous--meant to be! And that little house, OUR house, is the one that we are excited to share with you.

What makes this property unique

We chose to purchase in Joseph, rather than Wallowa Lake because we like the easy access to amenities like restaurants and shops, and we like the sunshine! The homes in the community of Wallowa Lake are tucked right up against the mountain-side, making the days feel shorter and cooler once the sun goes behind the mountain. Where ever you choose, this neck of the wood is amazing. We think you'll love it here!
