About this property

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.

Great Home and Adorable Town

The home is delightful, well-appointed, charming and old fashioned but upgraded where you most appreciate it (in the bathroom and kitchen). It doesn't look very big from the street, but is actually quite large. Very comfortable.

Perfect getaway!

We absolutely enjoyed staying here. Checking in was simple, the home was immaculate and very cozy. We love the charm and history of this historic house and the town of Wallace. We will definitely be back. We also met the owner while walking down the sidewalk. That in itself was a blessing! Thank you again.

About the host

Hosted by Elmer mattila

Elmer and Corki have lived in Wallace for the past thirty years. They are long time Silver Valley Residents and Elmer was born in the old Wallace Hospital. Both are retired and stay involved in their community. Corki owns her own printing business appropriately named “Corki’s Ink”.

Why they chose this property

Elmer’s mother purchased this property in 2015 because of it’s close proximity to their home, just two houses away. The remodel effort was substantial and following the passing of Elmer’s mother it was decided to keep this historic property and turn it into a vacation rental so others can come and enjoy our unique town. In January 2017 this rental became Ona’s House rented through VRBO and is so named after Elmer’s mother.

What makes this property unique

This charming cottage speaks to every one who stays there. The home is located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood that is in close walking distance to the historic downtown. Most of the photos and paintings in the home reflect the beauty and history of our community.
