Owned and operated by local Enterprise couple, David and Susanna Hurley. The Hurley’s stepped up to purchase this former Best Western above Enterprise which abruptly closed in 2012. The motel sat vacant for more than 10 months, depriving the county of much-needed housing and motel tax revenues.

The original purchase of the Eagle Cap Chalets property in Joseph was part of a turning point for the family. After 14 years with the same firm, David had decided it was time to stop practicing accounting, selling his interest in Edison, Hurley & Company on January 1, 2012. But the family wanted to stay in Wallowa County, so they began searching for a way to make it happen, and the motel business turned out to be an excellent fit.

Owners of the Eagle Cap Chalets since March 2012, the couple wasn’t actively looking for another property when the motel became available, but they recognized it as a good opportunity and decided to take the plunge.

When naming the new venture, the Hurleys wanted to tie it in to the Eagle Cap Chalets and also emphasize the view, thus, Eagle’s View Inn & Suites was born.

The motels are both open year-round. The chalets have a more rustic and nostalgic flair, catering to family holidays and reunions in the summer and pristine, getaway experiences in the winter, while the inn & suites offer more modern accommodations and a central location for doing business.
