My husband and I stayed for a long weekend of snowmobiling. The host had a wonderful information book with everything we could think to ask about. The house was just as described, the bed extremely comfortable. Plenty of room to relax in this cozy cottage. Absolutely would stay there again.

Fantastic getaway for hiking dog lovers!

My dog Sherpa and I hiked, relaxed, and thoroughly enjoyed this lovely comfortable cottage in Joseph. Gorgeous views, a huge fenced yard, and all the amenities, including a bathtub for soaking weary limbs after epic hikes into rugged wilderness. An adventurers paradise, especially for dog lovers. We’ll be back!

Perfect in every way

My husband and I traveled to Joseph with our dog. The house had everything we needed. The yard was perfect for our dog and the neighborhood was fun to explore. The kitchen was very well stocked and the living room was very comfortable. The gas stove warmed the place completely. The bedroom was great with lots of storage for our things. We can’t wait to return in the summer and enjoy the deck.

Great family vacation!

So glad we went! Joseph, OR is a hidden gem. So much to do and see. All the outdoor fun you could want. This little 2 bedroom cottage was just right for our family and dog. Close to downtown, places to walk the dog around, and a fenced in spacious back yard. We look forward to returning.

Sweet little house

Great vacation home. Super clean, well equipped with everything you need. Great for families and pets because it has a fully fenced yard and a deck where you have a partial (but excellent) view of the mountains. Perfect location easy walk to Joseph’s cute little downtown. We will definitely stay here again!

A great little cottage

Once again we had a wonderful stay at the Serendipity Cottage. Super clean, well equipped and close to everything. Our poodles love the big, fenced yard. We had a minor issue with the TV and the coffee maker and Adam and Stephanie both came by and got us set up. They are excellent hosts!

Nice relaxing stay

This was a great place to stay for the week with my wife and two Shiba Inu’s. Great location and Joseph was a blast. Stephanie was so welcoming to us. We cherish our vacations and this was just what we needed to decompress from very demanding jobs. We also celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary while we were here. Our dogs loved the backyard and hanging out with the deer. Thank you for a great experience! Jeff and Christa

A perfect spot to take in this charming town!

We had a wonderful week in this sweet little cottage that has a way of taking you back in time while meeting all of the basic needs, along with plenty of little touches of modern and care from the hosts. Stephanie and her husband arrived with snow shovels to clear out the driveway upon a heavy snowfall, and her communication was top notch! Great people who love what they do. Looking forward to our next visit!

Neat and tidy with everything you will need for a getaway in Joseph. Located only afew blocks from Main Street, it's a short walk to shops and restaurants. We were there in February over President's Day, so many places were on winter hours. We still had a lovely time with the mountain views and bright blue sky. We plan to come back in the summer.

Fabulous Joseph location

This house is charming and in a perfect location two blocks from downtown. The view of the mountains is spectacular and the beds, pillows, and linens are wonderful. The kitchen is small, doesn’t have a dishwasher and is not well stocked with quality cookware. We were glad we had pre-cooked our meals at home.

Comfortable and convenient cabin

This cabin is perfectly (walking) located close to town for enjoying all that Joseph has to offer. The home is clean and well appointed with comfortable beds and spaces. We had three people staying with no issues in space or bathroom time. The host was quick to respond to all communication and welcoming in all of her responses. Although we ended up leaving the dog at home with a petsitter, the cabin was ready for a canine companion with bowls, dog towels etc. I hope to come back and stay during the winter! I would not hesitate to recommend this cabin to my friends and family.
