Joseph Getaway
The Iris House is comfortable, well decorated, and very well equipped. We visited Joseph for the Wallowa Mountain Cruise to show our classic ‘64 Buick Riviera.The host was very responsive in allowing us to keep our car in the garage and even stopped by to visit us at the car show. We would definitely stay again at this unique property close to town and Wallow Lake which we also visited. Great experience!

Awesome place!
Great location, cute house, clean, close to lots of great activities. We did the Wallowa Tramway, paddle boarded at Wallowa Lake, hiked Hurricane ridge, hiked to Chief Joseph grave, did lots of shopping, drove to Hells Canyon Overlook, and visited Imnaha (gorgeous place)!

Cute, clean cottage
This house was perfect for a long weekend getaway for my husband and me. It has been nicely renovated and has everything you need. We appreciated the air conditioning as it was quite warm during our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked and the bed was comfy. The location was convenient for walking into town.
