Absolutely Ideal!

We met up with friends to enjoy Pella and everyone was impressed with this beautiful property. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is ideal, and downtown was walking distance for us. What a beautiful historic home with character and comfort. We loved our time and will return for another stay.

Perfect in Pella

Could not been better. Charming elderly house with lots of nooks and crannies for hide and seek. Spacious, well equipped kitchen, large dining room with enormous round table providing space for 8, comfortable living room, and cozy bedrooms. Free Keurig coffee an unexpected welcome touch. Easy walk to downtown and the best bologna in the western hemisphere. Thank you Andrea for a great 8 days.

Family Get Together

Wonderful property that was perfect for us to call home for a few days. Only a few blocks from downtown to cute stores and great restaurants. Spacious, clean, well-appointed. Charming and homey. Comfortable beds. Low pressure in downstairs shower; however, upstairs shower has great pressure. The stairs into the house were somewhat steep and difficult to navigate, especially for us older folks. Easy and prompt communication with host. Flexible with check-in time which was greatly appreciated. We had a wonderful time and made great memories in this historic home. We hope to return next year. Thank you.

Perfect Family Reunion Getaway

We had 6 family members traveling from California, Georgia and Pennsylvania to visit family in a nearby small town. This historic home in Pella was perfect for our stay. We all had private rooms and the common areas were spacious enough to accommodate us all. We walked into downtown Pella daily for the restaurants and shopping, super convenient! Would definitely book again!

Charming and Convenient

Our family loved this charming home for our first time visit to Pella for the Tulip Festival weekend. The location was perfect for walking to all the festivities. The decor was beautiful, clean, and modern, but not losing the authenticity of the historical look and feel of the home. We will definitely be back!

College Girlfriends Meet Up

A bunch of college girlfriends met up to reconnect and relive some memories from years past The cottage was a place to land, share stories, and catch-up. Some of us stayed overnight Friday and Saturday. All of the amenities were great! We made a breakfast bake in the kitchen and had snacks around the island later in the day. Lots of seating and comfy couches. The shower upstais has a handheld wand shower head and beautiful tile. Was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy our time together.

Cloverleaf House

It was a lovely house especially if you love older homes and all their charms. It offered a new updated kitchen and baths. We found it very comfortable and very convenient to Pella downtown. Would definitely stay again. Very convenient to the hospital as the reason we came, was to be with our son during surgery.

Great location for a girls weekend!

Perfect location for a girls weekend! We were able to walk to most of our destinations and the house is amazing! We loved our time there. The only complaint I have is that there wasn't a trashcan in the main floor bathroom. Other than that easy fix, our stay was a dream!

Perfect for couple’s trip

Stayed with four couples for weekend of catching up, games, and big meals. We all loved it. Nice big spaces for us to cook and eat together. Everyone had comfortable sleeping arrangements and an easy walk to shopping in the square. Will come again. The Peanut Bar was a favorite for bloody Marys and mules.
