Riverfront cabin with large yard, great deck, & fireplace

Chimney Lake

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

You'll have a spacious front yard and a large back deck overlooking the Wallowa River at Chimney Lake, a three-bedroom home where you can let the kids run and watch the water roll by on lazy evenings.

Inside the home are two bedrooms - one with a queen and one with a king. The third bedroom has an outside entrance down one flight of stairs - a perfect space for a small family or the early birds of the group. They'll get to enjoy their own coffee bar and outdoor seating as the rest of the group wakes up.

The large, open floor plan between the kitchen and the dining room keeps everyone together for game nights, meal prep, and movie-watching on the flatscreen TV mounted above the fireplace. The entry porch is where you'll probably find the kids, as the game table is located in this attached 'sleeping porch' that opens onto the wrap-around deck.

There are three bathrooms in Chimney Lake - the first has a tiled shower/tub combination and the other has a shower stall, the washer/dryer, and the third is a half-bath in the lower king bedroom.

Great place-loved our stay. The electronic key code battery was low and we had to wait about 30 minutes to get gain access to the property when we arrived. All was well in the end but good thing for cell phones and patience!

Great place for a family retreat!

The cabin was thoughtfully appointed --especially the kitchen. It's a short walk from the go-carts, miniature golf, and hiking. Comfortable retreat for our family - Cozy setting. Thank you, we had a great stay!

Great place to stay!

The house was super clean and very comfortable. How ever it was advertised with a ping pong table we did not find and one of the hideabeds wasn't working. This did not bother the two of us but if our family had come and we were expecting those things it could have been a hassle. Still the checkin communication and cleanliness of the property were beyond measure and the peaceful setting along with the sound of the river were just what we needed. Will definately be staying there again soon I hope!

Beautiful creekside home.

This place was perfect for our family w/kids. (5 adults and 2 young kids) Great deck overlooking a large peaceful yard.. so get your coffee and watch the dear in the morning. It’s creek side so you get that sound and can easily stand on the bank or get in ;). It’s also directly across from Vali’s and the go-cart/arcade so kinda “centrally located”. (It is quiet at night too if worried)

Chimney Lake Joseph

Overall a good location for our trip. Within walking distance of the major activities at the head of the lake. Comfortable home with room to have extended family for dinner events.Check in/access was problematic due to door code issues that weren't resolved during the trip. We were able to work around it with the back up key system.The lower bedroom and 1/2 bath is not indoor accessible from the main floor house. The lower bedroom is accessible with an exterior stairway down the slope, which wasn't clear to me in the description. Fine for good weather but worth considering if the weather is inclement.Also worth noting that the Wallowa River is immediately adjacent to the rear of the house (within about 15 to 20 yards) and no fencing. So keep a watch on small mobile children.

Chimney Lake

This house worked out well for our family gathering in the summer. It was comfortable for the 5 adults and one child plus one infant. We were able to host our extended family for dinner events in the space and it worked well. I will note that one of the bedrooms and 1/2 bath is accessible only separately from the main floor through an outside set of stairs down the slope. So this would definitely affect a visit anytime the weather was inclement. We had great weather so it was very workable. The location is very nice and within walking distance of all of the activities at the head of the lake. I also note that the Wallowa River is adjacent to the house (probably about 15 to 20 yards) with no fencing, so any young children will need to be watched very closely.

Wonderful cabin close to all the fun

The space was perfect for our three generations of family members. The river front exceeded our expectations and we were close to all the fun. Kitchen is well equipped. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back next year.

We liked the river, deck, beds, fabulous downstairs bedroom, price, location to activities. The table is great for the amount of people and for playing family games. What we didn't like toilet paper, pillows up stairs, no extra blankets, sheets or towels. We have already recommended to other family members and plan to stay again. It is a great relaxing place to stay.

Great property for the price!

Wonderful property, perfect location! Getting inside took a bit as the code wouldn’t work but the manager was amazing and very quick to answer. The 3rd room was a seperate entry which wasn’t an issue since my dad was staying with us and so it gave him his own space. It’s right in the middle of all the amazing attractions at Wallowa and an easy walk
