Cow Camp: A Quiet Cozy Cottage w Mountain Vistas & A River Runs Through It

A delightful little "camp themed" stand alone cottage with a breath taking view of the Wallowa Mountains. You will watch the cattle graze and the snow caps glisten in the sun, or the thunder roll, depending on the day in Wallowa County! But you can be sure it's all beautiful! There is a community deck across the driveway w access to a grill and chairs to relax and enjoy the pond. You can also watch the waters flow in the Wallowa River that runs right through the property. There is a trail down to the river where you can put your feet in, or move your chair right into the streaming water and lounge the day away. Cow Camp has a compact but fully functional kitchen unit and a private bathroom with a shower. We encourage you to bring your camp chairs. While camping is fun, so is pampering! So we've squeezed a King bed into this quaint little space to make sure you get the perfect nights sleep and are relaxed, refreshed and ready to go jump in Wallowa Lake in the morning! 4 miles from Wallowa Lake & 1 mile from town this little Oasis is a gem of a location in Joseph. Our mother Judy was born raised in Wallowa County and this tiny house is a tribute to her. If you prefer a quiet retreat from the world, well you can find that at Cow Camp too!

GREAT place to stay in Joseph! Just far enough from the noise of the Main Street but walkable to everything. Beautiful views of the mountains and very peaceful. The cabin is super cute. It is very cozy and we enjoyed our stay very much!

Gem of a place

From the outside it looks small, but looks can be deceiving. Tastefully arranged, views of the Wallowas are amazing, sitting by the Wallowa river in the morning with coffee or wine at night is a perfect way to begin or end your day. Even managed to catch a 3 inch brook trout on my fly rod. Courtney the manager was delightful. Be sure to bring apples for the pony and horse.

Nice Little Place

Very quiet and private. The cottage itself is not riverside but set back about a hundred yards. Access to the river is easy enough through the grass yard of another rental property. Quiet and peaceful.

Cute Tiny Cottage

We enjoyed our stay in this tiny home. A great location close to town. Cute furnishings and really comfortable bed. We loved hearing all the nearby animals and watching the birds every morning. The ceiling and table fans were essential to keeping it cool since we were there in the heat of the summer. I do wish the outdoor dog kennel had been better maintained and with more shade—we opted for the dog kennels down the road for day care which was very affordable and worked out great.

Cute, cozy place. Quality accommodation (towels, linens, bed). Not within walking distance of downtown but quiet, nice area by river. No air conditioning and fan was a little difficult to operate. Cooled off in evening but pretty warm in unit during day.

As described

This is a small but well laid out unit. Nice views of the mountains, right on the Wallowa river, and just 3 minutes from town. A very nice stay and would have been perfect if the internet worked better. The wifi router was too far away resulting in a weak signal and dropped connections. It worked better, and was fairly fast, in the front lawn.
