This is a very beautiful home, well maintained and an absolutely stunning place to stay, we had 6 people in our group and there was definitely a lot of room to move around.
We felt right at home.
Not a single person wanted to leave we enjoyed it so much.

we had a great time. The house was a perfect fit for me my husband, my two children, their spouses and my 4 grandchildren. Lake Red Rock was fun and Pella is a charming town. Not too commercialized yet plenty to do if you wanted it. House was very relaxing. Especially enjoyed the screened in porch.

Great basecamp for our stay in Pella for our son's and daughter in laws wedding. House was perfect for my wife and both sets of grandparents and our son and his girlfriend. Close to town but with the quiet of the country. We would definitely recommend this house if you are looking to stay in Pella. Even rode bike one day from the house to close by bike trail around the lake.

House was very clean with plenty of space for 3 families and our mom to enjoy some time together exploring Pella and Lake Red Rock. The house provided plenty of bedrooms/couches for sleeping areas. The kids enjoyed the outdoor spaces, smores on the fire, and we even set up a small pickleball court and baby pool on the paved driveway.
Location was great for exploring the bike trail (about 1/2 mile walk on gravel road to get there). Several fishing spots close by, a short drive to downtown Pella, Vermeer, the Pella Aquatic Center, and very close to a shopping area to stock up on food and beverages for the weekend. If you plan to visit the pool or beach be sure to bring your beach towels. The towel supply was limited for the number of guests the house holds, but washer/dryer are available and we utilized that to make sure we had a clean supply of towels.

We booked the house to enjoy Tulip time activities, we ended up staying at the house more than anticipated, because it was so nice.

To be quite honest, the pictures for this listing do not do it justice. This home has plenty of space to relax and unwind, and is in a very quiet part of Pella.
The beds were all very comfortable memory foam mattresses, with high quality pillows. There are two different areas to hang out inside, the upstairs living room/great room, and the downstairs family room with its own kitchen area. The bathrooms all had great shower heads, and had great water pressure.
This home is a really great setup for larger groups. We had our family with 5 kids along with my in-laws, and had plenty of space for more! Next time we stay we will be bringing more family with us, as this home could support 5 couples and kids easily.
As far as location is concerned, it is a few minutes from the Pella Walmart and other restaurants nearby. Lake Red Rock is also very close, and this home is right in the middle of it all.

I grew up in Pella and brought college, grad school and KC friends to Pella and the State Fair to celebrate my 50th birthday. Location and house were ideal--kitchen and pantry had everything we needed! Thanks for being part of a memorable trip!

After traveling overnight for 8 hours, once we arrived at the home I searched my email to find check in information. After not being able to locate the information, I emailed the property owner to let him know we had arrived. After waiting ten minutes, the owner called me back and informed me that he did not have any details of my stay and that we would need to leave the property. I explained that I had been in contact with both him and his wife and had paid the amount for the stay and had a confirmation number from Vrbo of them taking my money. He told me that he did not have any info that we needed to vacate the property and hung up. I started looking for a number to contact Vrbo and get another call from the property manager wife apologizing for how her husband spoke and acted toward me. I confirmed with her that we had a paid reservation and I sent her screenshots of the Vrbo information. She was apologetic and informed me that Vrbo never sent them anything and this had happened before. Although I was glad she apologized, it still did not help to have her husband speak to me the way he did, and my team and husband heard him. It made it very uncomfortable the first few nights. The wife did offer to purchase lunch for the team, but we never were able to coordinate. Other than that the home was clean and nicely set up. The property is actually beautiful. It was just the check in process was not favorable

This site was used as the primary gathering place for a family reunion. It had ample space for people to spread out for relaxation or come to together for family meals and celebrations. The property was VERY well maintained, clean and modern. The double kitchens were a bonus. Plenty of bathrooms to accommodate a crowd. Lovely outdoor space.Would highly recommend it to anyone.

This home was perfect for our 3 generation family of 13. I was born in Pella and my husband and I grew up and were married in Knoxville so we are very familiar with the area. We wanted to bring our children and grandchildren “home” with us. Since we all live in Arizona, the green of south-central Iowa was so refreshing. The setting of the home was lovely, the interior was comfortably furnished, and it had everything we needed for our 6 night stay. We highly recommend this home for any group, large or small.

This place served our family well for a quiet Midwest gathering place for 9 senior adult family members. The kitchen was well equipped and served our needs very adequately. Much time was spent in the comfortable great room sitting in a large circle reminiscing our childhood years.
The lower level was less adequate as it was colder and three bedrooms needed to share the same bathroom. Therefore most activities were up stairs. We never used the TV’s or other entertainment items so can’t comment on them.

This place was perfect for our family to get together to celebrate my Mom's 82nd birthday. There were 10 of us staying at the house and we had plenty of room to gather together and celebrate. The best part of the house was how quiet and peaceful it was and every morning and evening we had deer in the yard. There is also a paved trail within walking distance that takes you through some beautiful wooded areas with views of the lake. We will definitely think of using this place again and recommend it to anyone staying in the Pella area. Thank you!

Tremendous Site
This was a wonderful place to stay,. This was just a family gathering for us this summer, but we could not have been happier. The house is very nice and there is space for everyone. Additionally, there was NOTHING that we needed that was not there. Thanks to all involved in maintaining this property!

Memorial reunion
A perfect location for us to gather safely in Pella from both coasts to celebrate a memorial for our mother/grandmother. It was very private. We had everything we needed and plenty of space to prepare meals and sleep comfortably. We used the grill, deck and screened porch a lot.

Family Reunion
This property was the perfect spot for our family of 12 ranging in age from 58-5. We had questions after booking and the owner was very quick in getting back to us with the answers. There was plenty of room, sitting for family dinners and activities for the little ones. It was close to Red Rock and Pella. I would highly recommend this property and will be staying here again!
