We had a great stay at this beautiful historic home! It’s just a couple blocks from the Vermeer Windmill and downtown Pella, so terrific for walking around and to meals. The house is beautifully and tastefully restored and comfy in every way. My family loved the garage game room and also all the board games in the living room! We had lovely May weather and enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Many things in Pella are closed on Sundays, so it was nice to have the well-equipped kitchen and games so we could cook a meal and have a game night on Sunday evening.

This was such a lovely home! Loved everything about it! The game room was such a great way for our families to hang out. It had fun options to play and we could really see how it would be even more fun in warmer months to open up the garage door and have a fire. The charm of the home was so incredible. Very clean and had everything we needed.(even a highchair!)

The house was absolutely beautiful with lots of character and attention to detail with lots of little touches to make it a home-away-from-home. Very clean, relaxing, cozy and simple & clear check-in and check-out. The host was very timely, warm, and responsive in communications. The game room was a big hit and added a unique and fun component to the stay. Would definitely return!

All around fantastic experience for my colleague and me. We spent a little over a week there working out of Pella Muni and the home location is perfect for walking to and through downtown for meals / shopping as well as making the commute to the airport a breeze. The home was perfect to come back to after a long day and very comfortable to work in.The TV is easy to connect apps to and the game room provided for a nice way to blow off steam.The best thing about the stay was that Andrea is very easy to work with and is a wonderful host!Cheers!!

Great place! We (group of 5 women) stayed here in February 2026. It was perfect for us. One block from downtown shopping, restaurants and activities. We walked everywhere. Beds were comfortable, super clean (even the basement!), seating in the living room was great for conversation, kitchen was well stocked, nice coffee bar, bedrooms were large, driveway fit all 5 cars, great game room, plush towels, well stocked bathroom amenities (including black washcloths for makeup! Yes!), good water pressure and heat, fridge with water/ice maker, fun drinkware, lots of character and nicely decorated. Andrea was amazing to work with and very prompt with correspondence. This is a gem!
