  • Inn Details

    Perfectly situated near downtown Joseph, Oregon, for walking to area galleries, unique shops and restaurants. Elegant European Arts & Crafts decor (no teddy bears or lace here). A favorite for couples or anyone seeking a getaway from the hub-bub of the city. Hiking, auto touring, fly fishing, and other outdoor activities nearby. Bronze foundry tours by arrangement. Festivals almost every weekend in the summer months ranging from fine art to rodeo and bull-riding. Winters are lazy, relaxing and very peaceful.

    Individual Egg Souffle
    Bill loves to prepare egg souffle for each guest. Stuffed with Italian sausage and smoked Gouda cheese, the souffle floats on a spinach creme sauce, accompanied by tomatoes marinated in balsamic vinegar and Herbes de Provence, basil and garlic polenta, and freshly baked muffins or scones. Show up early or show up on time but not late, we warn, 'else you'll be eating hockey puck (smile)!

    The Bronze Antler served as a wonderful "home base" for our visit to Joseph. The home is renovated with period perfect materials and decor. Bill's and Heather's attention to every little detail really makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. Although the house evokes the spirit of times long ago, it is jam packed with with all the modern amenities from private bathrooms, fabulous personal care supplies, and and movies in the front parlor. Guests are welcome to complimentary glasses of port and snacks, always available down in the dining room. The breakfasts are divine! Beautiful home, wonderful hosts and delicious food. You just can't beat that!

    We had a wonderful stay.

    Heather and Bill contrived to create a most congenial atmosphere at the Bronze Antler. First off, Heather arranged for us to go to the Nez Perce art auction and dinner, where we mixed with other "guests" and the locals and got a good sense of how the community supports the First Nation. Bill's breakfast was magnificent, and we had a lot of fun talking around the breakfast table, so much so that it was very hard to leave and get back in the car.

    Wonderful experience

    The room was lovely, including the bath. Many little details added up to extra comfort and feeling pampered. Breakfast was delicious and healthy. We met some very nice people, including our hosts. We will definitely return to Bronze Antler. Dee in Portland, OR
