When you stay at the Aneroid unit, in the historic Litch Hotel, you will enjoy both history and modern craftsmanship. The Litch Building was first built in 1880 as a 1-story saloon. in 1901 a dog knocked over a kerosine lamp and much of the building burnt down. In 1909 Sam Litch rebuilt it with an expanded footprint and a 2nd story. Over the past 140 years it has been home to countless businesses including a hotel. Todd and Andy ,The McKee Brothers, purchased the Litch building in 2018 in considerable disrepair. Wanting to preserve this important part of Wallowa County history, they poured their blood, sweat and love into first reinforcing and then renovating the building back to much of its original grandeur. This project is on going and will eventually include 13 short term condos each with a unique Wallowa County theme.

The historic Litch Hotel is located on the corner of Main Street and River Street in Downtown Enterprise. Enterprise is generally quieter and slower paced than its more famous neighbor Joseph. Many guests that stay at the Litch Hotel have noted their appreciation for this feature of the location. Joseph is a short 10 minute drive away making it a convenient access point to the many outdoor adventures that our guests plan to enjoy during their visit to Wallowa County and the Eagle Caps.
This is a pet-friendly home, but we do have policies to adhere to to ensure that we can continue to offer this amazing benefit to future guests. Please inform us at the time of booking if you will be bringing a pet. We reserve the right to ask you to leave the property should you fail to do this. There is a $30 nightly fee per dog (ESA animals included) that will be collected prior to check-in. This is refundable should your pet no longer be accompanying you after the fee is paid.
Please note that pets are not allowed on the furniture, nor are they allowed to be left unattended in the unit unsupervised.

Here are a few kind words from our past guests.
"As many have said, this is a gem of a find. The place is beautiful, centrally located in Enterprise, Close to Joseph and of course, incredible hiking. They frequently checked in, had a well thought out guidebook, and even had a perfect spot for my large dog. This is also the first Airbnb that I’ve stayed at that didn’t have a list of chores to do upon leaving - except to enjoy our last day. And we did. We Can’t wait to come back." - Amy
"This space was pure joy! We loved how the space was modernized while preserving history of the original structure! There were so many thoughtful details from locally made Olaf dishware to an entire makeup station in the bathroom to lamps that turn off with a simple touch by the beds. There was some noise transfer from the unit next door, though we were lucky to not encounter any construction during our stay. The units in the Litch Hotel will be such a fun place to stay once complete and we hope to stay here again!" - Michelle
"We loved our stay in this spot! Everything was well-appointed and beautifully designed. King beds were comfortable, the kitchenware was top-notch, and it all around it was a fantastic, centrally located home base to come back and relax in after exploring the Eagle Cap Wilderness each day. Highly recommend! We hope to come back some day." - Anca
