The Cowboy Riverside Retreat was the perfect place to go back and relax after all the crazy of the Fourth of July and the reunion on the 5th.

There was nothing private about the accommodations. Within the apartment, the walls for the bedrooms did not reach the ceiling, so it was more like they installed room dividers. Across the stream was the municipal airport, so you had the pleasure of listening to the airplanes take off in the morning. The facility was a bit run-down (eg., the water feature in the center had been abandoned with grass growing up through the former pond). This would have been OK if I had only paid $75/night, but considering the price, this was a total disappointment. ##### joe e.

It is the former studio of sculptor J. Shirly Bothum and includes a number of his beautiful works, a tribute to his life and contributions to the region. A creek flows through the back area, and it was fun to sit a chair in the creek on a hot Labor day weekend. The stars were very visible on the nights from our property, located within walking distance to town. We still drove! The place was decorated western style, comfortable, and included all amenities. We also enjoyed visiting with Judy, the owner and wife of Mr. Bothum. She is gracious, helpful and knowledgeable about ranching, horses and things to do in the area. We expect to be back! ##### Jon M.

I enthusiastically give Judy's place 5 stars even though it is far from luxurious. Why? Because it is has so much character, it's so much fun, it's right on the river, and Judy is so nice. This is the former studio of a bronze sculptor and two of his amazing sculptures are on display in the living room. The river is literally six feet outside the window and the deck is great plus you can hear it while you sleep. Just know that this is not luxurious. No oven although it has a portable two burner stove, toaster oven, microwave, and hot water heater. Floor is concrete but covered with some awesome Western rugs. You get the idea. I will definitely stay here again and I hope you will choose it but it's not for everyone. ##### Cabe N.

The property was amazing. So full of beauty and character. We spent our evenings by the river and exploring t.v he history that papered the walls. Judy was warm and welcoming. We simply couldn't say enough about our stay ##### tammy p.

We usually came with family and extended family staying down by the lake but hadn't been for about 5 years. We usually came during the Chief Joseph Days so this was different but still a very busy area. Loved being next to the Wallowa river and such a cute place loved seeing the bronze sculptures that J.Shirley Bothum. Very cool atomosphere - could use some sound deading between units. Judy was a good host. ##### Bruce A.
