Our restored Barn House, is located in Joseph, Oregon near Wallowa Lake. Joseph is in the Northeast corner of the State, adjacent to Hell's Canyon, and is home to Oregon's largest wilderness, the Eagle Cap. You may explore the wilderness by backpack, horseback, or llama trek. Hunting and fishing are popular pasttimes. The Wallowa Mountains have been compared to the Sierras and the Swiss Alps. Wallowa County is also home to several art galleries and foundries. In addition to sculptures and original paintings you will find limited edition prints, top quality photographs, Native American art, and much more.

The Chief Joseph Trail, the Aneroid Lake Trail, and the West Fork Trail are the three main trails that go into the Eagle Cap Wilderness from the Wallowa Lake area. All start from the trail parking area, a short 1 mile drive/walk from the Wallowa Lake Lodge. Each provides the opportunity to day hike or to backpack to one's own ability. Easily reached vistas and overlooks, wild flowers, and stunning autumn colors are readily available for the casual hiker. Hiking to the nearest high lake is a 12 mile round trip with a 3,000 foot elevation gain but you can go as far as the top of 10,000 foot peaks. Wallowa Lake Tramway offers a shortcut to the top of the Wilderness where visitors are treated to unparalleled panoramas.
