About this property

Wahluna Terrace Retreat includes 2 houses that can be booked individually or together. Look for Wahluna Terrace Retreat Unit A and Unit B.

Wallowa Lake and the Wallowa Mountains are special gems of Oregon. Nestled in Wallowa County in the northeast corner of the state, the high mountains and glacial lake are a place for solace and enjoyment.

The Sweet Cabin at Wahluna Terrace Retreat is located close to the public beach and boat launch area at the north end of Wallowa Lake. It is the property from which many of the iconic Wallowa Lake and Wallowa Mountain photos were taken. Enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, hiking or relaxing while you visit. Shop in downtown Joseph and challenge yourself to experience the many hiking trailheads and explore the mountains from multiple entry points.

Wallowa County is a place where a strong sense of community prevails and you will be welcomed. Take a drive to the small town of Imnaha along the Imnaha River and have a meal at the historic Imnaha Stove and Tavern or explore the expansive Zumwalt Prairie known for its beautiful wildflowers, large elk herds, multiple bird species and historic cattle ranching. No matter what direction you choose to roam, there are beautiful sites to see, great people to meet and wonderful experiences to be had.

Great location, beautiful lake

Great location, close to the lake. We rent a kajak which was great. Also took de Wallowa tramway and did a nice hike to east peak, which was beautiful. Cabin got everything we needed. We liked that there was a washing machine for our clothes. Drinking water was supplied. Liked the relaxing chair in the living room. There's also another cabin at the grounds, which has the better views of the lake. But also the extra costs of course. Oh and we liked the deer family that came by everyday!

Wonderful week!

This cabin has been tastefully updated and was a peaceful place to relax after enjoying all that the area has to offer. We had daily visits from local deer, morning coffee on the deck with a peekaboo view of the lake, and quiet nights. Location was excellent, with walking access to the dock across the street, an easy drive to the lake’s resort area in one direction, or Joseph in the other. Highly recommend!

Joseph and Wallowa Lake

I would give the property an A in cleanliness. Comfort of furniture and bed , the shower and kitchen however an F in entry to driveway from highway (dangerous at night) and hard to find. One should not attempt entry from South. Also, Diane needs to clearly mark step up into bedroom area or rent to younger eyes. My wifetook a nasty fall and we are still treating skin injuries which should heal over time without much more than cleansing and dressing changes. Ben Balme

About the host

Hosted by Diane Daggett

Our family has lived, laughed, worked, loved and played in this beautiful valley for generations. We consider ourselves fortunate to be here and want to share some of the beauty and wonder with others.

Why they chose this property

Wahluna Terrace Subdivision was established in the 1950's creating a few lots on the terminal moraine (glacial deposit creating a water barrier to hold the lake waters) of Wallowa Lake. From there, the most iconic lake and mountain views can be enjoyed. With the adoption of land use planning laws as well as the citizens' desire to protect the area, there will likely not be additional lots created. So, we treasure this property and hope it will be in our family for generations to come.

The subdivision was named after 'Wahluna' who was a daughter of Chief Red Wolf of the Wallowa Band Nez Perce (Nimi'ipuu) people. According to the legend (full story is in the house for you), she is remembered as the 'Great peacemaker'.

What makes this property unique

The location of the cabin is great. Not only does it have great views, it is a short distance to the beaches and the boat ramp at the north end of the lake. It is close to downtown Joseph or go the other direction and find yourself at the south end of the lake where there are attractions, trail heads and lots of things to do. It is just a short distance west to the Iwtemlaykin park or to the trailhead that accesses the top of the moraine for a nice long hike! But, most of all, it is comfortable. Stay in and relax...
