Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Hands Down, the Best Place to Stay in Joseph
I cannot say enough great things about staying with Judy. The room is rich with history (every item has a story), and she is the perfect host. This ultra quite location is perfectly situated right outside of town along a lovely creek with expansive views. Look no further, this is the place to stay if you want to connect with the amazing community of Joseph.

Perfect place!
My parents are from Joseph, Oregon and my ancestor's roots are deep in Wallowa County. I spent a lot of time with both sets of Grandparents on their ranches and at our family cabin at the head of Wallowa Lake, over the years. Staying at Judy's B&B was the closest I could come to staying with family. When my father passed away in Feb. 2015, we waited until August to come together as a family, celebrate his life and spread his ashes. We stayed in the big room, and I hosted my mother and both my daughters very comfortably there. As an artist, I also enjoyed being surrounded by the artwork of Judy's late husband, beautiful bronzes. Judy is the best and I look forward to being able to stay when I next come to the valley, land of my birth! Thank you!

Fantastic stay and accommodations
The place was just as advertised, the place was great and the hostess was fantastic, we enjoyed the river running past the cottage as well as the peace and quiet, it's a great location and would highly recommend staying here. We will return to the area and stay here again: The charm of the place and the owner was absolutely great:

An oasis in Joseph
What a great, enjoyable place! Listening to the Wallowa River at night was a delight. Nice trees lining the river and the deck made it a great place to eat breakfast (or any other meal). Judy was a gracious host. We just wish we had spent more time relaxing at the retreat. If we ever find ourselves in Joseph again, this will be the first place we try to reserve.
