About this property

★ Church House ★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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

Host profile image
We discovered Wallace on a ski trip and immediately fell in love with the town, the community, and the mountains. So much so that we decided to take early semi-retirement from our positions as business professors, sell our vacation rentals in Wrightwood, CA, and reinvest in Idaho. We currently have the Church House vacation rental, Cogs Pub, Spokehouse e-bike rentals, and Haberdashery antique shop, all in Wallace. We love it here!

Why they chose this property

I found this old converted church listed for sale on Facebook marketplace and bought it sight unseen! With its unique architecture, history, location, and charm, we're delighted we found it for sale. I always wanted to convert a church to living quarters, so this little chapel-turned-house was a dream come true.

What makes this property unique

The best "unique benefit" of the Wallace Church House rental is just that -- how unique it is! Italianate exterior architecture, vaulted barrel ceiling inside, arched stained glass windows that the sun streams in for your morning coffee, brick courtyard for enjoying a summer evening with a glass of wine and the sounds of the nearby river. It's a quaint little piece of history in a town that's known for its rich history.

Secondarily, it's location is super convenient. Very easy to find, and you can walk to everything! Also Wallace is a heavy partying town and you'll be just blocks away from Metals bar (live music, karaoke, pool table, always busy with locals), Silver Corner (award-winning cocktails), Wallace Corner (coffee shop by day, bar by night on the weekends), and others -- no need to risk a DUI when you're staying so close by. Party on!

Other benefits include amenities like the washer/dryer, moveable TV, place to park bikes inside, full kitchen, tons of games, comfy beds, and more! And you can even bring your fur baby on your getaway. :)
