We had a great stay! The house was the perfect spot for our trip to Knoxville. It was close to multiple boat ramps, fishing areas, and the water, making it very convenient. The house comfortably accommodated our large group and had everything we needed for a great weekend. We’d definitely stay here again and are already looking forward to coming back!

Best vacation rental ever!

Everything was perfect. The hosts are incredible and incredibly accommodating. The town of Pella is only 15 minutes away and is the perfect little get away. Highly recommend for the hot tub alone!

Beautiful property. The house is so well designed and comfortable. We really enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub. The location is wonderful…peaceful and quiet. It’s also close to Pella and Knoxville. We were able to bike the Volksweg trail at Lake Red Rock. The trail has beautiful views and is exceptionally maintained. The host was absolutely wonderful! We will be back!

Clean, nice house

My kids and their families (4 adults, 6 kids) stayed during Tulip Time. Everything was very good. The only suggestions they had were more towels for the hot tub and the mattresses could be upgraded. Great place to have family gatherings.

Nice brand new build. Outside plain but nice. Inside very nicely decorated and lay out great for family. Plenty of supplies. Hot tub bonus. The gravel road made the vehicle very dusty but thats what car wash is for. Close to fishing spots at the red rock dam.

Great location, beautifully decorated, very functional

The beautiful, new construction cabin had everything we needed for the weekend. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen was perfect. The hot tub was a nice spot to have coffee in the morning and relax after a day of sightseeing. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Pella was a short 15 minute drive away, the lakes’ dam visitors center and public beach area are about 5 minutes away, and Knoxville is also just a short drive as well.

This property has a lot of room to spread out, and is in a beautiful location approximately 10 minutes from downtown Pella.There are 4 easily used spaces if you are wanting to have a private conversation or want a few minutes alone. We did not use the porch with the hot Tub pr grill, but they appeared to be in excellent condition. The owners do an excellent job of communicating quickly.My son loved the wii. If you are a fan, it works well.Plenty of parking space, and room for outdoor games (ie corn hole)It does get extremely dark, so bring a flashlight if you want to walk after dark and drive in slowly after dark. No big critters that we noticed, but lots of small wildlife!Thank you for a great stay!

Cute Getaway Place

House was beautiful, lovely decor and furniture. Deck was well appointed with hot tub, grill, patio set. Would have liked just slightly more privacy, side deck was visible from road so passersby could see us hanging out in the hot tub, a privacy screen to the roadside would be an excellent addition. Otherwise, private back area to woods which was nice.

From the owner: "We are so glad you enjoyed it! The privacy screen is a great idea, and could even double to keep pets safely contained on the deck. We will look into that!"

The house was very clean and comfortable. Not as private as I would have liked. It was a little too close to the road. I would recommend a screen wall at the front of the deck that would provide some privacy to the deck and hot tub.

Clean, quiet, and a good time!

Google maps is unable to navigate to the property properly. All the amenities where very nice for our group. We played poker, had a fire, used the hottub, and cooked meals. In the kitchen, it would be nice to have a bit more serving spoons, a strainer, and a whisk. We left some no perishables such as smores makings. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The place was nice and the host was very responsive. A few things kept this from being 5 star was that we requested an early check in and they were still cleaning the place when we got there so we had to wait an additional hour to check in. The host did offer to venmo us for coffee while we waited. The bath mats were also not clean. We could tell the previous people that stayed had a dog as the bath mats were covered with white pet hair. Other than that, we appreciated the host’s responsiveness and the outdoor amenities (hot tub, firepit and patio).

Great Lake Red Rock GetawayWe had a wonderful stay at this property near Lake Red Rock and really enjoyed our time here! The property was comfortable, peaceful, and provided a great place to relax and enjoy the area. The location was especially convenient for exploring Lake Red Rock and the surrounding Pella/Knoxville area.Everything was as expected, and the property had a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere that made our stay enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to stay near Lake Red Rock. We had a great experience!

The house was perfect and just as described in the listing. Actually, it was even better in person. The house was very clean. Lots of trees with the big windows to watch the birds.The hot tub was easy to use. I saw in previous reviews that people wished there was more privacy sitting out in the hot tub. The hosts took that into account and added a retractable screen. The house felt private but yet we were very close to Pella and Knoxville.The house is very close to Lake Red Rock. We brought our own boat and there was a local portion of the lake that we could put our boat in about five minutes down the road. I do not have any complaints and would definitely stay in this home again it was absolutely perfect for our needs.
