I was planning a trip through Hell's Canyon with some friends and in need of someplace to stay. I called the Lodge and told them my needs and they put together a group of rooms for me. The woman I spoke to even held the reservation while I called my friends to make sure this was what we needed. The... More

We were touring the area by car in mid-May and stopped by to take a look at the historic lodge. A very friendly woman at reception offered to show us a cabin (2 BR), which was charming, so we elected to stay for three nights. The cabin was lovely -- just the right size for three people. Two BR, wonderful... More

This Lodge was really a wonderful walk in the past. We stayed in late fall and the weather was wonderful (although it rained some one evening...living in Oregon, that is no deal breaker). THe lodge has a huge comfortable lobby area with antique chairs, couches and other amenities. Our room was very nice with a great view of Wallowa Lake.... More

I am a fan of old fashioned charm, and this lodge hits the mark. Don't expect TV, air conditioning, or a phone in your room (go to Motel 6 for that) but instead you will find the classic lodge atmosphere with vintage furnishings (but not at all shabby), a comfortable bed, good food, friendly staff, and a beautiful setting among...

Wallowa Lake Lodge has provided several pleasant vacation experiences over tha past decade. But things change. The accent now seems to be on high prices for the guests and minimal expenses for the Lodge. Sure, one accepts some inconveniences at a rustic lodge, but everything except the prices have been downgraded at this Lodge. Examples: room unswept , no light... More

This is a lovely old lodge, our favorite way to travel. I stayed here when I was a girl over 40 years ago, and it was just like I remebered, but not more worn or run down. We played cards in the informal, natural wood sitting room with a big stone fireplace. We loved the family rooms with private double... More

Lodge, setting, resturant -- excellent! We were the only ones at the resturant on the evening of July 5th, right before closing time at 6.30 pm -- which was a bit unsettling. Turned out to be supurb, great service, better food, and dining on the outdoor patio with the views of the lake was terrific. The Sugar Cabin, however, was... More

We checked in on Saturday and stayed until July 4th (Wednesday). We had reasonable expectations after reading the lodge's description and reviews. There is no TV and no phone, which was just fine and molded into the setting. However, there was no cellular signal for either AT&T or T-Mobile. They did have free Wi-Fi, although the speed was not spectacular.... More

This was our first trip to the lodge, and there were many things that made this a pleasant place to visit. The staff was friendly, and helpful; especially Kathy. We stayed in a deluxe room on the second floor. It was spacious, clean, and had all the ambiance of the '30s. I felt like I was back in my grandmother's... More

The check-in process was friendly and efficient. When asked about local eateries, we were given both places within walking distance and back in the town of Joseph. We were traveling with another couple and enjoyed having adjoining rooms on the third floor. Both rooms were pleasantly appointed with period art and furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. What a treat... More
