FAMILY FRIENDLY – LOCALLY OWNED. Burgers, cold beverages and alcoholic drinks; steaks cooked to perfection; green salads with all homemade dressings. Our down home hospitality is country fresh – service friendly – family oriented – an establishment that’s been a favorite of locals since 1948. Kimala Parret (Koontz), a Burnt River local, is the newest owner as of April 2013 but she’s no stranger to the establishment, being a current employee working with the previous owners most recently. Wifi access is the newest improvement to old standard favorites at The WaterHole. We provide everything from old cooking comforts to new traditions, novelties and bar drink favorites and now a full service store. We offer great food and drinks: baskets, sandwiches, soups & salad, desserts, burgers, dinners, appetizers, kid’s meals, drinks, shakes, smoothies, espresso, beer, wine & alcoholic beverages. We are a vendor for Wallowa-Whitman firewood permits.
