Peaceful, Historic Pella Cottage w/Firepit

Welcome to The Rock House — Your Cozy Dutch Cottage Getaway
Stay inside a true piece of Pella history! The Rock House was built in 1856 by Dutch homesteaders and has been thoughtfully updated with modern comforts. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage is fully remodeled, stylish, and perfectly located near everything Pella has to offer.
✨ Why You’ll Love Your Stay
Fantastic location — next to Central College, walking distance to the square, and a quick drive or bike ride to Lake Red Rock
Historic charm + modern comfort — original character with updated amenities
Peaceful and private — feels like a secluded retreat while still being close to everything
🌿 Outdoor Spaces
Relax by the fire pit under the stars, enjoy meals on the patio for six, or sip your morning coffee while listening to the birds. The property has plenty of room to unwind and play, plus private parking for two vehicles.
🏡 Inside the Cottage
You’ll have full access to the entire 750 sq ft home, including:
A comfortable living room perfect for movie nights
A well-appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook
A main-level bedroom with a cozy king-size bed
A charming upstairs loft with two twin beds
A washer and dryer for guest use
I love creating a comfortable stay for guests, so the home is stocked with extra blankets, quality pillows, nice soaps, and a coffee bar to start your mornings right.
📍 The Neighborhood
Pella is a warm and welcoming community with so much to explore. Whether you’re visiting a Central College student, shopping downtown, or adventuring around Lake Red Rock, you’ll love coming back to your quiet sanctuary at The Rock House.
🗝 Check-In
You’ll receive detailed check-in instructions the morning of your stay, and I’m always available to answer questions during your visit. We do have an exterior camera to help with property management.
This house is a piece of Pella history and has been beautifully restored for our guests to enjoy. All we ask is that you treat it with the care it deserves. Our goal is to share it will people and preserve it, so it can be here for the next 150 years!
