The Golden Saddle is a beautiful, custom-built log home on the west side of Wallowa Lake. It's perfect for your family vacation, a couples' getaway, or a romantic weekend, offering an expansive deck with breathtaking views of Wallowa Lake, the Eagle Cap Wilderness, and the awe of the east moraine.

Step inside to find four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and incredible views and workmanship throughout. Downstairs, there's a tiled great room with a large flatscreen TV, a game table, and a pool table for your nightly entertainment. The main level boasts newly refinished hardwood floors and a recently remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances and beautiful granite countertops. The living area offers another, smaller flatscreen TV, leather furnishings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and sliding glass doors that open onto an expansive deck overlooking Wallowa Lake and your own private boat dock.

The primary suite on the main level offers an adjoining bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and a stand-alone shower. The downstairs bedroom has an adjoining bath with a large, tiled shower. The upper level is home to two more bedrooms as well. At night, you'll settle into comfortable beds, luxurious bed linens, and high-quality bath towels and rugs in each bathroom. Your comfort is our top priority!

THINGS TO KNOW
Seasonal private docks are typically placed for Memorial Day thru Labor Day. These are placed and pulled by a 3rd party and several variables come into play such as lake levels, snow and company availability. We do our best, but these items are non refundable items if a problem occurs with their timing of putting in the water and pulling from the water.
Seasonal bbqs are available from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. BBQs are propane and tanks are provided. We strongly encourage you to review your tank level in the morning and if a replacement is needed please reach out to your local contact for a tank replacement.
No cable service, but there is a media streaming device/DVD/VCR.
The stairs down to the boat dock are steep.
This is a no-shoes home on the main floor and upper floor; please pack accordingly.
No fires or firepits are ever allowed due to the heavy timbered area and county restrictions.
Do not exceed the occupancy or parking limits at any time.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles.

Dock details: *seasonal

Birthday Getaway
Had a great 3 night stay for my mom’s 72nd birthday and this home did not disappoint! Gorgeous views from every room, very clean, new couch, great beds and plenty of comfortable space for each of us. Decent kitchen with all the essentials you need to cook and eat in…basement had second fridge if you need extra. Too early to spend much time outside, but there were a few chairs for us to sit in the sun and saw lots of nice looking outdoor furniture in storage. House is a good 15-20 min from town, so make sure you have what you need before heading to the house. And be prepared for a fairly bumpy dirt road…the house is almost at the dead end, which added to the peaceful atmosphere…definitely worth the drive and the dust!

Great house in a fantastic location
We had a group of 10 girls and this house was perfect for our get together. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was a great space for us to spend the weekend.

Wallowa Lake Cabin Getaway
I stayed in this cabin along with 6 friends. We had an amazing time. The cabin is charming, spacious and in a prime location on the lake. There is a wrap around deck with patio furniture for lounging and taking in the lake and mountain views. We will definitely stay there again.

Great family reunion home, but not for toddlers.
Beautiful view of lake. The large dock was good for canoe, kayaks, paddleboard which we used to access the beach and park's day use area. Loved watching satellites, space station and shooting stars from the deck at night. Comfortable beds. Difficult gravel and stone path to long flight of stairs to the lake. The grandkids enjoyed playing on the large deck; a more secure gate closure is advised. Open and steep staircases are not for little ones. Could have used additional bath towels.

Very NiceHome
This home is large and comfortable. Easily plenty of room for7-8 people. Views of the lake are wonderful. We stayed in late winter. Snow on the ground and in the air. Home was warm. There is a fireplace allowing you to add some evening cheer. The front porch is large and faces the lake. Follow the instructions on how to get there. NOT YOUR GPS. We followed the instructions. But also had 2 GPS systems running. Instructions are 100% accurate. One GPS Failed. The other was accurate. When we were there roads were still had snow and ice. Would not attempt the drive down Lake Shore RD without 4wd! Driveway is long and steep. It snowed 6in the evening of the day we arrived. Texted the local manager the next morning about getting it plowed as there was no possible way for me to get a car to the top (yes vehicle is 4wd) Had someone out there and the road cleared within 3hrs. The property manager was very responsive. Definitely a gem. There is a local grocery store. Has all you need. But not much variety.

Beautiful home & location
Such a beautiful home and location at Wallowa. Everything was well kept and clean at the house. They don’t lie about the road and steepness of the driveway but the location is quiet and relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked. Lots of cozy features in the home. This would be a great house for family gatherings.

Lake Log Cabin
Nice place, clean, spacious, with great views. Nice kitchen, dining, family room area for family. The gravel road to home is FULL of deep potholes, very bumpy. Gracious neighbors plowed the steep driveway of deep snow so we could get out. Only problem was with vacasa (host). They did not respond to my “ask host a question, “ so after 7 days I had to call. They gave unusual, and incorrect information about kitchen amenities, I even questioned. Vacasa later (1 week) emailed me that home indeed did have basic pots and pans and dishes after I had planned otherwise. A bit frustrating. Correspondence with Vacasa at checking in / out was nice.

Cozy cabin in the woods
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The place is well equipped, specious and was very clean. Cindi was our local host and she was prompt and communicative and helpful. She made sure we had all the right information for a smooth check in before we arrived. She was helpful in figuring out the glitch we experienced with vacasa. If you’re coming with toddlers, just know there are steep stairs and hazards for little ones. We had to be on our toes (but that’s the case usually). Just something to keep in mind. The spa tub is a fun and relaxing addition to the place. We especially enjoyed seeing wildlife from off the deck. Be prepared with everything you might need as far as food and supplies. Town isn’t too far but the road is narrow and slick during the winter. It’s more relaxing to simply arrive and stay, and enjoy your woodsy escape.
