We stayed at the house for a quick overnight to attend a high school event early the next morning. We arrived around 8 the night before and had such a cozy night relaxing and chatting until turning in for the night. Plenty of space for 6 ladies! Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again!!

Beautiful and well-maintained home. Everything was well stocked - bathrooms, kitchen and games. My family stayed here during a family wedding and because everything was so well stocked, it was easy to attend all of the wedding activities and not worry about anything. All beds and AC were comfortable. Location is right off the town’s main square with lots of cute shops and cafes.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Mccoy

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Andrea. I'm a working professional but also a real estate lover. I love to travel, paint, eat great food and spend time with my family.

Why they chose this property

This property is so special. It was built in 1892 by the owners of the Pella Dairy which was called the Clover Leaf Dairy. It has a ton of historic charm but with modern furnishing that make this house a home. I love that this home brings people together to enjoy everything Pella has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The Pella Downtown Square is 3 blocks from the house. Enjoy a short walk to the park, shopping, or out to dinner.
