Overall, this was such a creative and rustic place. I loved the antique pieces and the functional use of items. The bed was very comfortable. The challenge was that the deck had not been cleaned (bird droppings and just grime) for a long time - had to put a towel on the chair to cover the yuk. The adirondack chairs down by the beautiful brook were not used due to the many bird droppings that were not new. Attention to these details would have left me providing a fantastic review, but the bird droppings and grime was icky. Also, the screen door had no screen in it on the top so trying to have cool evening air (no air conditioner) in the room was not an option. I was surprised that the beautiful hanging flower pots were not watered at all, so they were dead by the end of our third day. Again, attention to these details would be my recommendation. Thanks so much for the wonderful location.

The property and location was very nice - we loved hearing the creek and being able to leave the screen door open at night. The bed was clean and comfortable. The room needs a good vacuuming - it was very dusty in the corners and along the edges. We were unable to access the wifi with information provided in confirmation or with the instructions provided in the room.

We really enjoyed sitting on the back deck with the river running below. Peaceful and private. A great place to stay central to all the activities Joseph has to offer. Easy check in.

We thought it was unique and charming. Very Clean. The quiet surroundings, creek in the back of the property, rooster crowing at dawn....somewhat of an old time feeling with the conveniences of a modern stay. The TV was problematic to us, but we are seniors with no sense of the digital universe and the surroundings begged for reading and relaxing rather than watching the Tube. I would recommend it to others.

Listening to a running creek at night at this property was so relaxing and this made our stay very enjoyable.

Beautiful location on the river
Although a bit crowded with the "shabby chick" furnishings the decor was charming and inventive. There's a variety of cooking devices for such a small space but a lack of workspace unless you move some operations to the back deck. And there is the crowning glory; an adequate deck just above a small river surrounded by trees busy with birds, occasional view of cows, deer and perhaps even a skunk. All in all a lovely quiet property within a few minutes drive of downtown.

Long weekend away
Would definitely stay here again. The bunk house is simply adorable. Very comfortable bed and we loved listening to the sound of the river. We even experienced some wildlife; a doe and her fawn. If was the perfect spot for our long weekend away.

Cute little place with a great view of the mountains and river. Fun area to go swimming or dip your feet in the water. Close to town and not far from the lake. Very comfortable bed. Welcoming host with friendly guests. Would definitely recommend staying here!

This was a very comfy rustic retreat. The bed was very comfy, the room was cozy and the deck was inviting. The river flowing through the property is a plus, we even had a black bear wandering along the river. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

The perfect escape and soft place to land!
We had a wonderful time staying at the Bunkhouse! Sheila was so helpful and communicative before and during our stay - she gave us excellent recommendations for food and activities! Though it was smoky and super hot, we were able to cool off each evening with the door open and fan on. The space is full of fun details and whimsical surprises…I’ll admit - I did try on the hat that resembled a turquoise feather duster… The bunkhouse is a pretty neat repurposing of a space - it isn’t large, but the king bed is gigantic and the semi-private deck was my favorite part! We would definitely return!! 😊

Fun and unique
We really enjoyed our stay at the Bunkhouse. It’s a fun and unique space but had everything we needed too. We took advantage of the refrigerator, coffee maker and TV, and especially enjoyed listening to the river in the morning on the deck. After hiking in the morning or spending time in Joseph it was lovely to be able to sit down in the chairs by the river and read a book in the afternoon. Check in was super easy. Would stay here again.

Clean, quiet, snd well equipped !
I found the bunkhouse to be a superb lodging option for its cleanliness and ease of check in and check out. Comes fully equipped, including a small refrigerator and microwave , Along with the assortment of dishes and flatware etc. The shower itself, was spotless. Nice chairs on the small back deck where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or a beverage in the evening and listen to the creek. Pleasant atmosphere, and private!

Deck could have been cleaned and check out was a little too early. Other than that everything else was great!

What an exquisite spot to unwind and relax with and in! I’ll start with the accommodating and aesthetically delightful room. Everything you need is in this studio space, including what you need to eat in if you choose. Take advantage of the outdoor grill and dine on the river. Speaking of which, how marvelous it is to sit on the deck in the morning under the trees, and watch the river roll by. So pleasant to listen to it at night through the open door! I took some art supplies with me and really enjoyed sitting by the river with my feet in it using my watercolors.
Sheila was an absolute delight. I so enjoyed meeting her and how she works hard to make this place and your time there, memorable.
Thank you, Sheila for all you provided for us and we hope to make our way back to you one day!

Weekend getaway
This was a wonderful treat of a rental for a weekend getaway. Just secluded enough that we felt that we were getting away from the world but still close to Joseph that it is a very short drive to town/attractions. There is a river running next to the property so we could hear it and the view of the mountain topped it off. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the property who was very welcoming and helpful. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Magical Stay in Joseph
In addition to the place being beautiful and in an excellent location, Judy was a wonderfully thoughtful, friendly and solicitous host who made us feel right at home. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and Judy went above and beyond to make our stay special. We will definitely be back!

Judy on the Wallowa in Joseph
EXCELLENT! This place is an Art studio on the Wallowa river tucked in next to the mountains. The owner/manager/hostess is Judy Botham, wife of the late renowned Artist J. Shirley Botham. A good number of his bronze statues are on display in the rooms and ,of course , on the Main Street of Joseph. This facility was the most interesting and beautiful places we have visited. Loved it!

We spent Valentine's weekend at The Bunkhouse. It was a great place to stay, from being next to the Wallowa River, seeing the deer, cows out the back deck to having Judy as an excellent hostess. There were rose pedals and chocolates on the bed when we arrived... awesome touch.
We definitely want to go back in the summer to enjoy all the fun outdoor activities.

Sweet Honeymoon Stay🥰
Lovely cottage....Awesome host... We'll definitely come and stay again!

How lovely to have the Wallowa River just outside our door! This is a convenient location for all Joseph area activities. The property is very quiet overall. You can hear people talking through the shared wall, but after 8PM, all we could hear was the river. We had some pesky flies, but this is part of the deal when you are in farm/ranch country with beautiful horses on the property.

Bunkhouse retreat
The bunkhouse was a beautiful retreat for our Anniversary weekend. Judy had everything ready for us, from plush towels to a comfortable bed. We loved listening to the sounds of the river in the morning as we laid in bed drinking coffee with the door open to the deck. It’s a beautiful and unique place. We will definitely return.

Wonderful time at the ranch by the river.
It is hard to know where to start to list all the things that make Judy’s bunkhouse a wonderful place to stay. Big cozy bed with super silky sheets, white fluffy towels, charming western decor. We love the little back porch overlooking the stream that runs past her property. There is a path leading down to the stream where you can actually sit and put your feet in the water on a sunny day. You can scratch a horse behind the ears or pet a cat. Judy is just the best hostess you can imagine. She’s so friendly and helpful, and made us feel completely at home.
