We stayed at this property for a special family event. We also booked one of the adjacent tents, and the second tent was not rented during our stay. This was the perfect spot for our event, with gorgeous views! The hosts were very accommodating and quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had. We enjoyed watching the ponies and farm animals, and the yard was the perfect spot for lawn games and hosting an outdoor dinner. As others have mentioned, the hosts live onsite. However, this was not an issue, and they went unnoticed.

Good view

House was cluttered and dirty. Not well equipped for cooking. We had 10 people they only had beds for 8 The dining room table set 6 we had 10 The living room had room for 5 we had 10 The house is advertised as sleeping 12 maybe if they declutterred the house. They had plenty of parking but had to pay extra to park our 5th wheel trailer. The comment that was made was we need to make hay when the sun shines. Over all had a great view from the front porch.

Beautiful property and welcoming hosts

We had a really wonderful weekend here. Great communication with hosts and lots of good recommendations of things to check out in the area. The house was unique and cozy with enough space for eight of us. Our favorite part of the house was the yard- spent a lot of time watching the horses, sunsets, and looking at the mountains. We were conveniently close to Joseph, the lake and lots of hiking.

Beautiful private location

Beautiful home, beautiful scenery and very nice owners. This was a perfect location for our yearly family trip. We had a family pics down here, it was a perfect location. Loved sitting around the dining table for family dinners and front porch sitting with the beautiful mountain scape while the kiddos ran in the yard. The horses coming to visit thru out the day was a big hit with everyone. Highly recommend the Evans Farm 👍👏

Authentic farmhouse in spectacular Oregon high-country

A very pleasant farmhouse conveniently located near Joseph and Wallowa Lake resort. We enjoyed the quiet, the views of the surrounding mountains. and sharing a relaxing time with some pretty ponies and a family of goats within view across the country road. We had privacy and everything we needed for a five day stay. The soaking tub was a bonus. Our hosts were friendly and helpful.

Wonderful place to stay

I stayed at the Evans Farm with my ten-year-old son and my parents for three nights last week. We can't wait to return! Not only is the home gorgeous and comfortable, but the setting is stunning, with views of the surrounding farm, horses, and mountains. The home is beautifully decorated with lovely antiques, art work and furniture painted by the talented owner, with every amenity you might need and a selection of interesting books and magazines. It is very charming and full of character. The beds are also extremely comfortable, with high-quality sheets and exceptionally comfortable down pillows. My son loved visiting and watching the horses and goats. We all had a wonderful stay, enjoying coffee, visiting and reading in this lovely home. Thank you, Kathy and Grady!

We stayed here for the 4th of July weekend with friends - we had 4 adults and 5 kids. We had plenty of room and the hosts were very welcoming and responsive. The house was easy access to the lake, town of Joseph and was in a beautiful location. The views were incredible. We had all the amenities listed on the website. Beds were clean and very comfortable. The owners live onsite as well as a few other VRBO sites - tents/glamping

Brought my adult kids and their families out for 5 nights and days to explore the beautiful Wallowa area. The house and surroundings exceeded our expectations. Hosts were amazing, wildlife everywhere plus horses, goats and breathtaking views. Perfect spot for basecamp with everything to do just a short drive away.
