Quaint historic mining town nestled in the mountains between two ski resorts.

Affordable vacation rental in Wallace, Idaho.
This is a fun place to stay with lots to do. Please remember that Wallace is known far and wide as a friendly walking town with nicely paved streets and alleyways and wide sidewalks with beautiful boulevards. Let's begin with a short walk to the city center where you will find popular restaurants, micro breweries, museums, and shopping (antique stores, second hand and local gift shops as well). Depending on the season you can attend the Sixth Street Melodrama, the Sierra Silver Mine Tour, the Silver Streak Zip Line and even the Wallace swimming pool. Wallace is located between Missoula, MT. and Spokane, WA. An easy two hour drive in either direction will deliver you to an international airport of your choice. This little mining town has a rich history and is also known for it's classic architecture that put it on The National Register of Historical Places. Don't forget to find the "Center of the Universe " while visiting our community.

Ona's house is on that National Register as it was constructed in the mid 1890's as a miners home. The residence was remodeled in 2015 for a single homeowner who passed away in the spring of 2016. Since that time additional work has been done on this property so others can come to Wallace and enjoy the town and it's safe and peaceful community. The living room features a classic bay window which was considered very stylish for it's time. The master bed room has a queen bed and the back bedroom has a queen bed as well and a twin rollaway. There is one bathroom with a shower and a fully equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer too. This home would be great for single people, couples, families or friends. The sofa in the living room is a queen hide a bed as well. Cable TV and wifi are standard.

Outdoor activities from Wallace include two ski areas just minutes away, snowshoeing, hiking trails including the Pulaski Trail and the 80 mile long Trail of the Coeur d' Alene bike trail. If you love biking don't forget to try the Hiawatha trail that is just a short drive from Wallace on I-90. Hunting and fishing are available for those who are interested in such. Be sure to come to Wallace and give it a try.

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

Very clean house, perfectly located for biking & the walk to downtown was approximately 4 houses. Yet it was still quiet & relaxing. Many excellent restaurants. Super helpful host. They have everything you could think of needing. If I went back, I'd stay a week.

Little city with huge character.

We stayed at this VRBO for a few days while we went to the Hiawatha bike trail. The home is full of history of Wallace, ID and is an inviting home. The home is supplied with everything, but I would suggest females bring a blow dryer. I would definitely stay her in this cute city and quaint, historical home.

Wonderful place to stay and wonderful hosts

Wallace and Ona' Place both get more enchanting each time we visit. Although our main focus on this trip was the area's world-class biking, on this trip we also spent some time kayaking the North Fork, strolling the lovely neighborhoods, and enjoying some wonderful restaurants. Everything was perfect.
