Great location and house for the three of us. We have a two year old kid and the place was great for him. He loved the toy tractor and the deer obviously. Having a high chair was great. House is very close to the lake and downtown Joseph.

Cozy stay in a great location!

We had a great stay in the Wild Iris House. Set against a beautifully mountain backdrop, it is located right on the edge of downtown Joseph and within walking distance of virtually all the best shops and eateries in town. Each day of our stay, we had unexpected visits from wildlife, including a six-point buck casually walking through the yard munching on leaves from neighboring trees. And if you lay out under the stars at night, you have a striking view of the Milky Way during the darkest hours of the evening. Highly recommended!
