The Matterhorn

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

The Matterhorn is a sweet and charming cabin on the west side of Wallowa Lake. The all-wood interior provides that cabin-in-the-woods feel and the living room and kitchen have an open floor plan that keeps everyone together. There are many large picture windows offering unobstructed views of Wallowa Lake and the east moraine. The home has two bedrooms. The first bedroom on the right has a queen and is a few steps from the full bathroom which offers a shower and a washer/dryer. The bedroom on the left has two twin beds and another queen bed with an adjoining half bath.

Enjoy your days on the deck that overlooks your own private boat dock on Wallowa Lake. Watch the kids on the dock while you barbecue or relax with a good book. Enjoy some fishing and boating action with the private dock. However you choose to spend your days, your time at the Matterhorn will be enjoyable.

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.
There is a low beam ceiling in the living room/kitchen area, so please watch your head.
Games, books, and videos available for guests' use.
Boat trailer parking available.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.

Dock details: *seasonal

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I were gifted this stay and absolutely loved it. The view from the deck alone is worth it. You can sit with a good cup of coffee/tea/whatever and watch the sunrise over the mountain and onto the lake. Your own personal & mostly private view. It's truly stunning. The water was a little rough to dock off with our kayaks, so we just went off the boat ramp areas. Water was perfect!! Didnt want to get out and didnt want to leave!! Thank you Matterhorn, you took good care of us. We'll be back!!

This is a nice quiet location. Loved sitting on the deck by the lake first thing in the morning. We plan on coming back next year.

Our Favorite Cabin

This was our family’s favorite cabin so far. We stay in a different cabin at Wallowa every summer and this had the perfect amount of space. The boat dock was my kids favorite and the water was perfect.

Yes....but.....

Because of the fires in the area we were hesitant about coming and tried to postpone our trip to a later date. Unfortunately there was no flexibility with VRBO in changing the date or refunding our payment. Although the house itself was fine, our experience was negatively impacted by the smoky conditions and we had to leave a day early to get some relief. We would like to return in the future but will probably rent from another company

Great spot on the Lake

We enjoyed the rustic cabin. The deck looking out on the lake is the best and we enjoyed many hours there!
