About this property

Spacious Farmhouse w/firepit, 1.5 mi off I-80, 13 mi from Adventureland Resort.

Get away from the hustle and bustle at Mollie's Town & Country. Nestled in the countryside just minutes from all the big city events. We have a cozy country home with four bedrooms, 3 baths and can sleep 9.
Kitchen is huge and will be your favorite room, we think you'll love it as much as we do. After a fun day on the town come back here to unwind by the fire pit or sit on any of our 3 patios while stargazing or watching pristine rural farm life pass by.

Great stay

We're truly glad we stayed here. The property was accurately described in the listing, very clean, the beds were comfortable and it was a great setting for family and friends to hang out, eat and relax. The host was great with communication. We'd definitely stay here again.

Tulip festival

We stayed at the farm house during a visit to the Tulip Festival in Pella, IA. The house is very convenient to both Pella and Des Moines. The farm house was spacious enough for 6 adults and 2 teenagers. We had a bonfire with smore's. The setting is so relaxing we definitely would stay here again.

Excellent experience

This was our first time with VRBO and I was exceptionally pleased with the property and the owner. Communication was great, the owner left us a meat/cheese tray as a welcome gift and the house was clean and ready for my family. I can’t wait for the next opportunity to stay at this farmhouse. Nothing but perfection.

Great Thanksgiving trip!

This was the perfect setting to spend a couple of days with our own kids prior to hosting 21 for Thanksgiving on Friday. Our hostess, Mollie, was fantastic. She helped provide extra tables and chairs, and she brought a few extra things over to the kitchen in an effort to make sure we had as much as we needed to prepare our big Thanksgiving feast. We enjoyed the rural community and the livestock on the farm. Was also a beautiful setting to get some good pictures. Overall, 10 out of 10. Hope to be back again.

Beautiful country feel

The house and property were amazing. We needed a slight adjustment to check in time and the owner was amazing to work with. We even had a neat and cheese tray waiting in the fridge for us!! Highly recommend if looking for lodging in the area!

Hidden Gem with Small Town Charm

This home is a hidden gem with small town charm! It's very clean, spacious, relaxing and had everything we needed. Mollie was available for any questions and is thoughtful host! If you're looking for a relaxing retreating just minutes from the city, this is the place for you!

Spacious farmhouse with firepot

The property is really sweet and like a trip back in time to an Iowa farmhouse. The cows, bull and Alpaca were such a treat for a group of city folks. The location was perfect for the Iowa Motor Speedway too!

Perfect Country Setting for Family Getaway’s

Our family loved staying at the farmhouse. There was plenty of room to spread out. Loved the large kitchen and 3 full bathrooms. The cattle was a hit! Enjoyed a campfire, grilling and the hammock. Communication was great with the owner. The home was clean and tons of thoughtful amenities in the kitchen and throughout the home with games, puzzles, etc. We’d definitely recommend.

Cutest farmhouse in Colfax

We enjoyed our stay at Mollie’s farmhouse. The place was clean, spacious, and perfect for our family. We all had our own spaces in the house to sleep. Even though it was a hot weekend the house was nice and cool. We played games, watched a little tv, and had some good rest and relaxation. We really enjoyed the wildlife right out back. Had dinner at the local pizza place. It was yummy! If we ever make it back here we’ll definitely stay here again.

Des Moines Jr Olympics

From start to finish, Mollie was available, answered all texts, and made our stay as pleasant as possible. If you’re looking for a quiet, secluded, not too far from the city, clean, spacious home, this is your go to! The charming neighborhood, nestled in the Iowa countryside side , was a delightful escape from the city life of Dallas, Texas. We had a family of 4 adults and a teenager and all had their own personal rooms with 3 personal bathrooms. We also had our dogs with us which also had plenty of space in the home . We were greeted every morning with cows in the property behind the backyard! There is a great running trail as well as a golf course if you like golf. The presence of a brand new track at the new high school was a godsend for my son giving him the perfect place to warm up and stay active during the jr Olympics track. Overall, our stay at this Vrbo was a delight. The combination of it’s convenient location, spaciousness, and the serene neighborhood made it an ideal getaway. We definitely recommend it enough to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in the beautiful Iowa countryside.

Super Dog-Friendly Farmhouse

We needed a place to stay with our arthritic, senior dog while visiting family in Grinnell. RAGBRAI had most options booked up. We were lucky to find this new listing in Colfax, a short half hour away. Mollie was a gracious host and the property suited our needs. We didn't spend much time upstairs, but we all loved the first-floor conveniences and occasional visits from the cows at the edge of the property. Thank you, Mollie!

I wish I could give this stay 10 stars!!!

This was absolutley an amazing stay - from the home, the location, the town and the host! The house is a endearing farmhouse with all the coziness and charm you'd expect. Full of all the amenities you'd ever need. Clean, lovely, plenty of space in the house and the yard. And great views from the porch! The location is perfect. Cute little town right outside of Des Moines - quick commute in for fun and adventures but peaceful town with friendly faces! And the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Very communicative, helpful and great midwest hospitality. We stayed here as we transitioned to moving to the area but I'd stay here again one million times over. Love! Love! Love!
