About this property

Gezellig Carriage House - The Friesland Suite - Pella's Premier Retreat

Gezellig (pronounced guh-ZELL-uhk) is a famous Dutch word that captures a feeling of warmth, comfort, and togetherness. It’s the cozy joy of sharing time with friends or family, being in a welcoming place, and enjoying moments that simply feel good and inviting.
Together these words embody what the Gezellig Carriage House represents. Pella’s newest and most convenient property, located just 2 blocks from Pella’s historic downtown and 1 block from the Vermeer Windmill and Pella Historical Museum and Gardens, offers guests a convenient location for all things Dutch! Guests can also easily enjoy all that Pella, and the surrounding area has to offer, including just minutes to Central College and a short drive to scenic Lake Red Rock, Iowa’s largest lake.
Inside guests can choose between two unique and quaint, carriage house style suites with 2 bedroom/1 bath living, appropriately named after our family’s Dutch roots from the provinces of Zuid Holland (South Holland) or Friesland. At over 800 sq ft each, both offer large living/gathering spaces perfect for couples or families to relax after a “day with the Dutch”! A fully equipped kitchen includes all the essentials for a quick snack or full meal prep. A quaint coffee bar and washer/dryer are available in each unit for your added convenience.
Sleeping arrangements are perfect for singles, couples or families and include two large bedrooms with plush king size beds as well as access to a queen-sized sleeper sofa, easily sleeping up to 6 adults. Have a larger group…..Book both units and sleep up to 12, all conveniently together.
Outside guests can enjoy a large, fenced in backyard, concrete patio and shade pergola, perfect for a morning cup of coffee, a relaxing afternoon drink or an evening bar-b-que on the included gas grill. This shared space is perfect for living the “Gezellig” life with your family, friends or new friends made along the way. Additionally, each unit has access to their own 2 car garage as well as two additional driveway parking spaces (total 4 vehicles).
Whether you’re visiting Pella for the first time to explore the shops and bakeries downtown, attending the famous Tulip Time Festival in May, a Central College event, a business trip, or exploring all that Marion County has to offer, the Gezellig Carriage House offers you a warm and Dutch-inspired stay!

Everything was so clean and tidy when we arrived. There were small but intentional touches (Dutch Brothers Coffee) with the Keurig, plenty of bedding and towels, and comfortable and updated spaces. GORGEOUS and clean place to stay!

Our time here was short as we only needed a place to stay after the Knoxville Nationals, but it was just what we needed. Excellent communication from the host. Easy and accommodating check in. The place was spotless and welcoming. If you’re looking a place to stay in the Pella area, I would highly recommend.
