I often get asked what side of Wallowa Lake is a specific home on. And, being a born and raised person of Wallowa County, I have had to readjust my terminology from the Foot of the Lake and the Head of the Lake to more specific North, South, East, and West sides of Wallowa Lake.

They say that as your kids age, the years go by faster, and I am beginning to firmly believe that! I can't believe that Sarah will be 11 in a week. Where does the time go?
Preparing for the 2010 year, I have been organizing, purging, prepping 2010 files, and I ran across a folder that I used to keep all my master forms in. This was a fun little trip down memory lane!
When I started the business back in 1998, I had one cabin (Unit #66) and worked another full time job. I wore all the "hats" needed to make the business operate. The next year we had Sarah so I wanted to stay home and still do the cabins as a side line business. Those first couple of years, I hand wrote all the confirmations on postcards and everything was on paper including the calendar, bookkeeping, and a website was never in my thoughts.
As time progressed, we slowly added cabins here and there. I now had 2 small children, with a brother named Coy joining sister Sarah. Adding cabins to the program slowly gave me the opportunity to still spend time with my kids and it also gave me the opportunity to see what systems worked, and what ones were just good in theory.
Just 11 short years later, we are one smooth running operation! We have a fantastic website that was the first in our business in Wallowa County to book online. We have tried and true systems to make our business run efficiently, and looking back to that master folder I see that we did it with baby steps. We grew slow enough that we were able to tweak and fix along the way. We are a bigger time operation now, but our goal will always remain the same.
We will always strive to be a great part of your vacation memories. We will always provide to you excellent and timely customer service and we will do everything we can to make your stay enjoyable!
Thank you for being a part of Wallowa Lake Vacation Rentals, and for providing me with this fantastic job that allows me to raise 2 fantastic kids, be a part of our community, and stay in the area that we love. We sincerely appreciate your business!
