â Church House â UNIQUE 2bd converted historic Wallace chapel, walk to everything
HISTORY & ARCHITECTURE: The Church House is a 2-bedroom vacation rental listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Wallace, Idaho. The building was originally a tiny chapel, built around 1905 to serve the local mining population. The main room features stained glass arched windows and vaulted barrel ceiling with a living area, long dining table, open kitchen, daybed reading nook, and old-time upright piano. Gorgeous!
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS: Two bedrooms flank the main room. The queen bedroom features French doors to the brick patio; the king bedroom features stained glass windows. Both rooms are cozy with comfy beds. There is a twin daybed in the living room. Additionally, there is a fold-out loveseat in the entry/vestibule area and a rollaway bed that can be placed anywhere (niether is great for Grandma or Grandpa, but ok for the kiddos!).
BATHROOM: One small but cute bathroom, located next to the Queen room, has a shower, no tub. Towels and toiletries provided.
LOCATION: Conveniently located across from the historic library right on the edge of the business core, it's a very easy walk to all the shops, restaurants, museums, tours, and pubs. It's also right across the way from the Couer D'Alene bike trail/river, and has easy highway access for the nearby Route of the Hiawatha bike trail, Lookout Pass Ski Resort, and Silver Mountain Ski Resort. It's super easy to find when you arrive, right on the main road into town. There's tons to do in Wallace, and staying at the Church House will put you in easy proximity to all of it.
AMENITIES: The full kitchen is quirky since it used to be a coffee shop, but it has all you'll need to cook a meal, including a full sized fridge and stove/oven, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and coffee, pots/pans, dishes, utensils, cooking oil and some spices, etc. It does only have one very small sink currently, and no dishwasher, so you might find it more convenient to eat out with lots of great options a very short walk away. There is also a washer and dryer that guests can use, and a cabinet full of board games -- plus a nice big table to play them on. The TV is on a rolling cart and can be moved to wherever you'd like to watch TV; it has an Amazon firestick for movies, shows, and music, plus a DVD player and a collection of DVDs. NEW in 2022: added a brand new furnace with central air conditioning! NEW in 2023: a gorgeous new shower!
EXTERIOR SPACES: There is no backyard but there is a nice large brick patio on the front/side, with table and chairs to enjoy a glass of wine or morning coffee with mountain/forest views and the sound of the river (and yes, the occasional semi passing by on the highway -- unfortunately). PARKING is available on the street just steps from the door. Bikers may bring expensive bikes into the house if they'd like; there's room in the entry area to park them.
SMOKING allowed outside away from all open doors and windows.
PETS allowed with a $15/nt. fee per pet. No pets allowed on furniture. No grass in yard for pets to do their business but across Fifth street theres a pet area that can be used.
This property was one of our favorites! Beautiful rooms with comfortable beds, clean well equipped bathroom. Kitchen had everything you could want to stay awhile! The history of the building has been maintained nicely! The courtyard was lovely for evening glass of wine and early morning coffee! We will definitely stay here again!
Such a cute property! A great location as well-close to downtown. We were able to walk to dinner (70 year olds) with no problem. It was just as described and enough room for 4 adults and 2 children. We really enjoyed our stay!
It was a very cute historic place to stay and very close to town. One drawback was lack of places to put anything in the bathroom. A few shelves to put guests' personal items would be nice since it is a small pedestal sink. We could never get the cool/heat function to work on the Nest thermostat. The host was very accommodating on turning up the heat remotely but it was kind of a hassle not being able to adjust it within the unit,
We absolutely loved our short stay at the Church House! The space is full of character and charmâyou can really feel the history in the architecture and design details throughout. It was such a unique and memorable place to stay.Good location âwithin walking distance of everything we wanted to see or do in Wallace. Really convenient for exploring the area!And can we talk about the shower? The water pressure was amazingâa small detail, but it made a big difference and was a nice surprise.Everything was clean and comfortable. Weâd stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special!
