From starry-eyed dreaming came serious adult conversations, a successful Kickstarter campaign and finally a design forward boutique hotel. To its core The Jennings is a journey about passion, collaboration and community. Equal parts accommodation and art project, you're likely to find new friends passing the ukulele around at a family supper, artists in residence sharing their work and superbly considered spaces, all under our roof.
Since 1910 The Jennings Building has been a landmark on Main Street in Joseph, Ore., evolving over decades to serve the changing needs of rural Wallowa County. After a four year journey Greg Hennes purchased The Jennings in 2014, sending him inexorably down the path of accidental hotelier. With the help of a talented group of friends The Jennings has been transformed from a derelict apartment building into an outpost for artists and a beacon of considered design and gracious hospitality in the mountainous hinterlands of Northeast Oregon.
