This adorable cabin is straight out of Pinterest! Simple little home in the very best ways. Enter this cute home through the new addition that has a seating bench, a private washer/dryer, and adorable old-school lockers. Step into the kitchen that has plenty of prep and cooking space with beautiful appliances and prep the family meals while looking out the windows towards Wallowa Lake. The dining area is just past the kitchen which leads into the living room. The open floor plan of the home keeps everyone together during your stay.

The first bedroom has a queen-sized bed and a twin day bed. The bathroom has a large tiled step-in shower and is located between the two bedrooms. The bedroom on the left has beautiful French doors that open into the living room. The living room also has beautiful large picture windows that look out onto the wrap-around deck that boasts a propane firepit and plenty of outside seating.

A small yard is located on the end of the deck which leads you to the beautiful new sauna that has incredible views of Wallowa Lake also! Enjoy your own private boat dock during your stay at the Ottertail Cabin. Read a book, soak up the sun, listen to music, browse on your phone, however you choose to spend your days, this home will be intertwined with all the memories of your stay at Wallowa Lake.

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.
Occupancy and parking can not be exceeded.
No fires or firepits are ever allowed due to the heavy timbered area and county restrictions but the propane fireplace is allowed.
Winter Rentals: We always recommend 4x4, chains or studded tires to get to our winter open houses. Some renters have better traction tires and can access the homes without them but we don't recommend it. Also, weather changes rapidly in our mountain location. We always suggest preparing for the worst. Also, many Les Schwab Tire Centers have the ability to purchase tire chains, and if you don't use them, will take them on return.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.

Dock details: *seasonal



Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).

The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.

Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Fantastic lake house!
Perfect size for our family of 4. We loved the view, the deck, the fire pit, the sauna and the dock. Unreliable Wi-Fi, but that wasn’t unexpected.

Suggestions for Ottertail
1. Sauna not working. 2. Check propane heater. 3. Dryer squeaks loudly after running awhile. 4. Garbage disposal smelled terrible when we arrived and water needed to be run to smell and taste better. 5. Would be nice to have a blind in the bathroom. 6. Microwave food cover would be useful. Loved our stay though! Wished to use the sauna, so that was disappointing.

Fabulous Winter Hideaway
All my expectations were exceeded. The views, the cozy and beautifully arranged cabin, the quietness and long walks in the snow were exactly what I was hoping for. I did not want to leave and so arranged to extend my stay. I’m glad I did because a winter storm blew through while I sat curled up by the fire, watching snow fall and deer wander past the front window. Heaven! I will definitely be back.

AMAZING!!!
I came for a solo writer's retreat and was so in love with everything about the place I stayed 2 extra days. The view, the book selection, the cozy feel, quiet location, comfy deck furniture, everything just what I hoped for. Next time I'll let my Hubby come because fishing from the dock would have been great too. I hope to make this an annual tradition!

Early Fall Getaway
We came to Ottertail and Joseph for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This house was the perfect size and layout for the two of us and would be comfortable for 4. The house and furnishings are very comfortable, memory foam beds, and darkening shades in rooms. It is a very quiet location. The house has almost everything we needed, although it would have been awesome to still have access to the propane outdoor fireplace and grill thru September. The sauna use was really lovely, just be aware the neighbors have partial views of you getting in and out. The house is a great location to town, 20 mins to the south end of the lake. Much of the business are closed at the end of September during the week, so plan accordingly. We did splurge for the tram on a nice day. The private dock is great, so bring a paddle board or kayak! We would love to stay here again.

Pleasant, relaxing lake getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ottertail Cabin. The house met our needs for a comfortable and relaxing stay at Wallowa Lake. It was well equipped for dining in when we preferred and was an easy drive to Joseph when we wanted commercial dining. It was also a great base of operations for day hiking in the Eagle Cap, riding the tramway up Mount Howard, and other excursions exploring the surrounding area. And there is always something special about staying in a pretty setting on a mountain lake.

This house was perfect for our family Vacation! Love the decor and all the windows. We hung out on the water during the day and went to the rodeo at night. The dinners on the huge deck were especially scenic and enjoyable! Double thumbs up for this place, we’ll be back!💚👍🏻👍🏻

Very clean property!
There were a few things missing. We had to go and fill up the propane bottle. The sauna switch was a little Temperamental. The driveway was difficult, we have a full size pickup and it was hard to get in and out. Only room for 1 vehicle for sure. Over all the house was great. The view was amazing. The sauna was a wonderful add on.

It’s just magical
Being in the Wallowa’s is always wonderful, this cabin met and exceeded all of our expectation. It’s nicely appointed, and quiet. The views are the best on the lake. As a person who loves to cook the kitchen with nicely shocked. I will pack my own knives next time, but everything else was just what you needed. 6 days just wasn’t enough.
