About this property

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! This home is over 100 years old, has undergone some restoration but may show some of its age. 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 small storage shed next to the driveway. Guests may park in the gravel driveway at the back of the house or on the side street. The bike path is just over the small bridge on 5th street.

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. Mini split heating and cooling installed in 2024. 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. 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! Enjoy your FiveStar stay @UrsaMinerID !

Back stairs are very steep, not friendly if anyone in your group has any physical limitations. Structure seemed to have some potential foundation issues or foundation settling, as evidenced by large cracks in the breakfast nook walls and slanting of the floor/structure. We rented for 2 nights but stayed only 1 night due to this and some staining on the bedding and towels.

Thank you for the feedback. The house is over 100-years old and has been undergoing renovations, slowly but surely. The hardwood floors and heating/cooling system were recently updated. We have also completed structural work in the basement which resulted in some cracks in the back sunporch, as seen in your photos. The back porch stairs are mentioned in the listing description. The front door allows for first floor entry, if needed by some guests. If you had communicated your concerns before departure, I hope I could have resolved any questions you had.

Thank you for the feedback. We care about every guest’s experience and will work on the issues you mention. On the third night of your 4 night stay, I received your message regarding the air conditioner not working in one bedroom and I responded within 90 mins. I asked for additional information to assist in troubleshooting. I received your reply late that night, about 12 hours prior to check out. It’s possible that, given outdoor temperatures ranged from 55-65 degrees F, the temperature inside the house did not trigger the thermostat to run cool air. Our goal is to provide a comfortable stay. We have tried to provide useful information in our listing to help guests determine if this house will meet your needs and expectations during a stay in Mullan. The listing explains the home is over 100 years old, and we have updated a number of features in the house, including new minisplit heating and cooling. We understand this home may not be a good fit for every visitor.

House was clean and well decorated. They had most of the items on-hand needed to make our stay easy. Big props for a wide selection of spices in the cupboard! Could have used some sandwich bags and or cling wrap. If they were there, we couldn’t find them, but we also didn’t ask the host and just made do with what we had available. Bathroom had plenty of hot water for 4 adults to shower. Bath tub could use a little traction on the bottom of the basin to help prevent slipping. Also, we couldn’t find bar soap and only an Old Spice 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner for hair. Other than those few minor quibbles, the kitchen had all the stuff we needed for cooking, beds were comfortable, heat and cooling was perfect and ample space for the 4 adults and two kids in our party. Watch out for the grouchy neighbor if you park on the street opposite the driveway, though! Not a reflection on the property, but a warning for those arriving with more than one vehicle.

It's an old unique property but it has a very charming touch and nostalgia feel if you're into vintage things, you'll love it! I'd stay again! It was just two of us, it is nice space but would feel a little small with 6 I think but doable for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Ericka (host). I have a local point of contact for any urgent concerns.

Host profile image
Our family with four kids enjoys traveling and trying new activities, new foods, and new cultures. We have had many adventures (and misadventures) in the U.S and abroad. We view travel as an opportunity for learning and being adaptable as much as about relaxation and recharging.

Why they chose this property

Ursa Miner is our little gem in the mountains. We chose this property in Mullan because of the great location as a jumping-off point for all the outdoor activities, dining, and local events the region has to offer. We hope you have fun making memories with your family and friends!

What makes this property unique

Easy drive from several metro areas in MT, ID, and WA states. Enjoy the outdoors, from winter sports to camping, hiking, fishing, biking, and four seasons of activities in Northern Idaho. Learn about the mining industry at nearby museums and tours, visit local brew pubs, enjoy seasonal local events, like Ski Jor in Wallace.
