Charming, cozy, vintage house located in the historic Silver Valley.

Light and bright vintage house with modern amenities. Located steps from the Trail of the Coeur D'Alene and a short drive to Lookout Pass and the Hiawatha Trail, this home has everything you need for a comfortable stay while you explore all that the Idaho Panhandle has to offer! The backyard offers views of the mountains and space for grilling and dining al fresco. Mullan ID is a small, quiet mining town, with a local pub, The Outlaw Bar and Grill, bowling alley, and indoor swimming pool. For more options, nearby Wallace offers a grocery store, boutique shops, and restaurants/bars. Located in the center of town, Ursa Miner is small but bright and charming! Ten-foot high ceilings and an open living room-dining room layout make this cozy, older home feel spacious. The front living room gets tons of natural light. The back sunporch/coffee nook has views of the mountains. The entryway to the front door and covered back porch allow guests to easily come in and out of the weather. The property is located on a main road in town, but this is a one-stop light town! Street noise is minimal during the day and quiet at night. Two bedrooms are on the main level and additional twin beds are in the upstairs loft. The loft has a lower ceiling, which makes it ideal for younger guests. Beds offer supportive mattresses, layers of quilts (depending on the season), high quality sheets, and poly-down pillows; extra blankets and pillows are available. The main level bathroom has a claw-footed tub/shower, toilet and sink. The original medicine cabinet has a unique feature - a razor blade disposal slot. We kindly request that guests not use it for disposal of anything :) Shampoo, body wash, basic first aid supplies, and towels are provided Free wi-fi is available throughout the house. A smart speaker and device charging station is centrally located in the dining room. Smart TV in the main living room, as well as upstairs, allows for guests to spend time relaxing and spread out, if desired. Roku is setup for guests to use their own accounts for streaming services, or access many free options. The living room TV also has a DVR player. Board and card games and videos are available for guest enjoyment. The well-equipped kitchen includes a double-oven and convection cooktop, full sized fridge, microwave, coffee pot, pots, pans, baking and serving dishes, cooking utensils, cups/glasses and table settings for +6 guests. A small dishwasher with hookups to the sink make clean up a breeze. A supply of coffee and filters, some cooking oil, salt/pepper/spices/herbs is provided for guests. Supplies for tidying up are stocked: paper towels, multi-purpose cleaner, dish soap, hand soap, and dishwasher tablets. Guests have use of the entire house, the yard, grill (available seasonally), and a small, locked storage shed. Guests may park in the gravel driveway at the back of the house or on the side street. The small bridge near the house, which crosses the South Fork of the Coeur D'Alene River, is currently closed to vehicle traffic. It is open to pedestrians and bikes. Ursa Miner is a one-hundred year old home. It was restored around 2016, after sitting vacant for many years. Our hope is to be good stewards, to maintain and update the structure as needed, and share its historic charm and ideal location with others for years to come. It has some quirks, like a slight slant in the floor and an air vent in the ceiling between the dining room and loft. The house is heated through an air vent in the dining room floor; this vent may be hot to the touch when the furnace is running. Parents with infants/toddlers are advised to be cautious; please supervise children at all times. The house has no closets other than one small space in the upstairs bedroom/loft. Guests should feel free to unpack luggage and store clothing in the bedroom dressers. The kitchen floor can be chilly during frigid weather; a basket of house slippers/socks is near the front door. Guests are welcome to wear these in the house and leave with the used linens/towels prior to check-out. Locally, the nearby Mullan Trail Gas & Grocery has essentials and grocery items. Check their FB page for local happenings, like trail grooming updates, weather notices (avalanche warning), and community events. Harvest Foods in Wallace is well-stocked with whatever you need: fresh produce, meats, convenience foods/snacks, specialty items (gluten free), beer/cider/wine/liquor, and a small pharmacy (find your huckleberry treats here!). We want Ursa Miner to be your comfortable, home away from home. While your days may be filled by Northern Idaho great-outdoor activities, please keep us informed if you think the property needs anything to make your visit as "hygge" as possible!
