Girls' Trip

We had a great time! The location is perfect for walking to downtown shops and eateries. The weather was lovely allowing us to enjoy relaxing conversation in the large well maintained yard and patio. Beds and linens were excellent and the kitchen was well stocked. We were surprised by the television that just came on suddenly (twice a day). We couldn't find a timer setting on it, so we simply turned it off and had a good laugh. Would definitely stay here again.

Historic Charm

The house was clean and just as promised, it was an historic adventure. We did have a little trouble getting in when we arrived, as there were issues with the doors working properly. the owner was quick to rectify the problem and the rest of our stay was excellent.

Why they chose this property

The Wisdom House was designed and built in 1878 by John William Wisdom and is currently the oldest home in Baker City, This Historic home still displays its original draperies in the living room and dining room. Mr. Wisdom was an Oregon State Senator and operated the first pharmacy in Baker City. This is a wonderful home so full of history still bearing the worn down steps leading into the home. The story goes that the stone steps are worn down due to the many guest the Wisdom's had in their home. I just love this home!!!
