Lakefront lodge with private dock, great water view, deck & laundry

Mount Howard Chalet

Located on the scenic west side of Wallowa Lake, Mount Howard Chalet offers a gorgeous waterfront setting, comfortable and thoughtful furnishings, and a private boat dock that you can use all summer.

Step inside to find high-quality pieces throughout the house. Guests frequently comment that it feels like it's right out of a magazine! This three-level home is actually quite large, offering plenty of privacy for your group. The main floor is home to the kitchen, the dining space, and the living room, and provides access to the deck. Relax in the living room beneath vaulted ceilings that not only let in the light but give you a treeline view.

The lower level features a king bedroom, a utility area with a newer washer/dryer, and another door out to the patio with steps that lead down to the private boat dock. The upper-level loft has a king bed with an open banister down to the living room; because of the vaulted ceilings on the main floor, you have a nice view from your bed of the trees and the night sky.

THINGS TO KNOW
Seasonal private docks are typically placed for Memorial Day thru Labor Day. These are placed and pulled by a 3rd party and several variables come into play such as lake levels, snow and company availability. We do our best, but these items are non refundable items if a problem occurs with their timing of putting in the water and pulling from the water.
Seasonal bbqs are available from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. BBQs are propane and tanks are provided. We strongly encourage you to review your tank level in the morning and if a replacement is needed please reach out to your local contact for a tank replacement.
No cable service, but there is a smart TV with DVD/VCR.
No fires or firepits are ever allowed due to the heavy timbered area and county restrictions.
Do not exceed the occupancy or parking limits at any time.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 1 vehicle.

Security camera details: outdoor surveillance camera

Dock details: *seasonal
Docks are seasonal which means access to the lake from some lakefront homes is seasonal too. If the dock is not in the water we urge you to not try and access the lake from the home and by doing so will be at your own risk.

The view and the gorgeous deck overlooking the lake were awesome. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very well stocked with everything a person needs for a state. The only thing missing where a couple of towel bars or hooks in the bathrooms.

Winter wonderland
Incredible views of the lake and glacial moraine. Beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished house. It took us a while to realize that the heat source was radiant heating tiles on the ceiling and each room had its own thermostat that needed to be set. Once we figured that out, the house was cozy and warm.

Great location
This home is well appointed and kitchen is well stocked. The boat dock was great. Comfortable and clean! The only thing missing was a second shower. 2 couples sharing one shower is doable but we prefer our own shower. Also if anyone has mobility issues there are a lot of stairs down to water-but it’s a good workout! 😎

Wallowas
The house is very nicely situated with lovely lake views. The stars at night were amazing due to the distance of city light. Kitchen is very well appointed with utensils and dishes, although there were no dishwasher pods or detergent. Beds were comfortable. It is amazing how sound travels so well from the lake and neighbors. House is close to Joseph and was an easy drive. Parking is not ideal for 2 cars, but We will keep this house on the "keeper" list.

A cheerful property with a great view!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mount Howard Chalet! The view of Wallowa Lake was wonderful from both the main floor living area and the lower bedroom. The deck, which runs the width of the house, was a wonderful place to sit with morning coffee and take in the lovely view. We especially liked the light and bright decor, the many high-end finishes throughout and the overall cleanliness of the property. After spending our days enjoying the many fun activities that the area provides, Mount Howard Chalet was a wonderful place to retreat to and chill out at the end of the day. We found the directions to the property to be very specific and accurate and it helps to slow down so as not to miss a turn. We're so glad we chose this lovely property for out three-night stay!

Nice home.
Clean and comfy. Nicely decorated! Not enough bath towels for 4 adults. Decorative mirror in bathroom on main floor not suitable for putting on makeup. Only 1 shower in the house not optimal for 4 adults. Appreciated that there wasn't an extensive list of cleanup. Lower level nice and cool but not quiet with much upstairs activity.

Lake time with friends
Well laid out modern home. Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, nicely decorated. Perfect for a ladies retreat. Loved the dock and the sturdy metal stairs going to it. We spent a lot of time on the standup board, fishing boat and swimming from the dock. So quiet! We felt like we were pretty remote. We will be back!

A great find!
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house on our family vacation. The house is nicely decorated and comfortable with lots of seating options inside and out. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware, and is comfortable for cooking dinners. There is a full sized fridge with water and ice in the door. The dock is very nice and we spent the most time there, swimming off the dock and paddling around. This house has all of the amenities of home, but with a dock and an amazing view!

Great House on the Lake
First time at Wallowa Lake and it did not disappoint. The house has way more positives than negatives. The positives are the the lake, the house is nice (though a musty smell that aired out quickly), the dock is AMAZING! For balance though, the negatives: The check-in instructions were lacking. They sent 3 paragraphs on how to get to the house, but not the proper way to enter the door code... you need to enter * before and after the code, an important detail to not tell you about. The bed on the upper loft is very uncomfortable. I like a firm bed, but this was another level. I slept awful and won't up with neck and shoulder pain. The basement bed was fine, my kids didn't complain. Again, I still give 5 stars because everything else was great. The view alone is worth it! Note: Apple Maps gave accurate directions to the house, google maps didn't. Also, the drive way is very steep. Not a problem for us at all, but heed the warning about it.

Magnificent lakeview house
What a beautiful house. Breath taking views from the living, kitchen and bedroom. Fully equiped house in the lovely Joseph. Would recommend a 4WD to drive the dirt road and the steep final part to the house.

All about the views!
While the road was a bit primitive and the driveway quite steep, the views from the bedroom and upstairs was worth it. Home was comfortable and spacious enough for us. Would cone back but when there is no snow.

Beautiful house
The house was very clean and comfortable. Perfect location right on the lake with great views from the house. We mostly went out for meals, but cooked at the house a few times - the kitchen was well stocked with all the tools/equipment you need. The bed was comfortable. I’d stay there again.

A Lovely Home and Well Equipped Kitchen
We loved the home. It is very nicely decorated. Felt right at home. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again as well as we would recommend it to any friend or family member. You won't be disappointed. Thank you for making our visit to Wallowa Lake a pleasure.
