Great family vacation!
So glad we went! Joseph, OR is a hidden gem. So much to do and see. All the outdoor fun you could want. This little 2 bedroom cottage was just right for our family and dog. Close to downtown, places to walk the dog around, and a fenced in spacious back yard. We look forward to returning.

Nice place to stay in Joseph
We came a bit early in the season - most things open up Memorial Day weekend. But for our first time to the area we really enjoyed the scenery & it was great having a comfortable place to stay. Appreciated the kitchen items although we didn’t cook. The closest grocery store is in Enterprise. Embers Brewhouse was a great place to eat. My husband loved the fries with his Traeger-grilled burger.

A perfect spot to take in this charming town!
We had a wonderful week in this sweet little cottage that has a way of taking you back in time while meeting all of the basic needs, along with plenty of little touches of modern and care from the hosts. Stephanie and her husband arrived with snow shovels to clear out the driveway upon a heavy snowfall, and her communication was top notch! Great people who love what they do. Looking forward to our next visit!

Clean, cozy and comfy cottage in the heart of Joseph
Perfect little house on a quiet street in Joseph for a mountain escape - Stephanie was responsive, helpful and friendly, and the cottage was clean, stocked with essentials and well kept with a huge yard for our dog and patio to sit outside and marvel at the beautiful mountains. Lots of natural light, indoor fireplace was tricky to operate but we figured it out, and did not try the outdoor firepit (which is a great bonus!) The kitchen felt small for 4 people but the overall living space was comfortable and had everything we needed (extra towels, laundry supplies, closet space). The house is walking distance from downtown (everything in Joseph seems to be) but away from the main strip, and a short drive to the lake and mountains. Closest large grocery store is Safeway in Enterprise (this goes for all rentals in Joseph). Highly recommend - we'll be back for our next visit to Joseph!

Just Perfect!
While my dog and I visited a few really lovely spots on our recent road trip, the Serendipity Cottage was our favorite home away from home. So much care and attention to detail has gone into making this a welcoming temporary home for any traveler(s). We were so comfortable there, I honestly didn't want to leave. And the Wallowas are just breathtakingly beautiful to wake up to each morning. My dog was in heaven in the yard, too. She very quickly made friends with one of the neighbors working on chopping and moving wood, and it was such a delight to watch them "hang out" together while I sipped my tea. =) We will definitely stay here again sometime.

Neat and tidy with everything you will need for a getaway in Joseph. Located only afew blocks from Main Street, it's a short walk to shops and restaurants. We were there in February over President's Day, so many places were on winter hours. We still had a lovely time with the mountain views and bright blue sky. We plan to come back in the summer.

Fabulous Joseph location
This house is charming and in a perfect location two blocks from downtown. The view of the mountains is spectacular and the beds, pillows, and linens are wonderful. The kitchen is small, doesn’t have a dishwasher and is not well stocked with quality cookware. We were glad we had pre-cooked our meals at home.
