Wife and I stayed here for her birthday. Had an amazing dinner at Caldera's. And a lovely breakfast with John. Stunning place. Great history. Perfect for a night in Joseph. Great end to a long weekend hike to the Matterhorn and Ice Lake. Supports local businesses and has a great green ethic down to seven gen TP! Highly recommended. We... More

The McColgans have the gift of being incredibly gracious hosts while still maintaining an inviting and homey atmosphere - and all this within a 'green and sustainable' travel & hospitality ethic. Breakfasts were fantastic - no small feat given my severe dietary restrictions. John and Pepper gently questioned, hunted up resources, invented recipes, and fed me superbly. My body was... More

We stayed in the largest of the 3 rooms, which had its own bathroom. The room had a seating area with a couch, coffee table, gas fireplace, king-size bed, and a clothes closet with plenty of shelving. It was homey and comfortable, not luxurious, and completely spotless. Bathroom had an oversized tub perfect for soaking; towels were large and of... More

We had wanted to visit Joseph, Oregon, an artists' community, with a specialty in bronze castings, in the heart of the Wallowa Mountains, Oregon's Alps, for some time. As part of a trip to Banff, we finally had the opportunity to visit. On the web we found Belle Pepper's, booked it, and found it to be everything we expected. The... More

I love this home! It was built in the early 1900's and was the mayor's home for the little town of Joseph. The back drop of the big Wallowa mountains is breathtaking. The caretakers, John and Pepper, are wonderful caring people. The decor suits the house and the meals were fabulous! My husband and I have stayed there twice and... More

When a long-planned, first trip to Eastern Oregon finally came about for me and my husband last September, we were ready for a vacation that was really special. Our idea was to blend hiking and outdoor adventure with the finer comforts of Belle Pepper's B&B in Joseph, OR. Nature made sure the outdoor adventure piece was in place. John and... More

Pepper and John were wonderful hosts for a perfect get away from the city. We enjoyed our beautiful room with views out three sides. Could see river, town and mountains. Walked to town every day which took 7 minutes! Lovely sitting area where we played games and visited with our hosts. Recommended this place to numerous friends and family.

We made our reservation with Belle Pepper’s B&B on the basis of the 5* reviews in Tripadvisor but in the event were very disappointed. We had been required to pay a deposit when we made our reservation some months in advance (in contrast to all other B&Bs and hotels on our tour which had accepted a credit card guarantee). More...

Though I didn't meet "Mr Pepper", "Mrs Pepper"s welcome was very warm. The house is gorgeous, the rooms are pretty and clean and the location is just so perfect.
