Historic Cottage- The Rock House
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (12)
"Our family stayed here to check out Pella's Tulip Time festival! This amazing rock house is a work of art and a piece of history. Built-in 1856, the home features original wood floors and ornate door knobs. The home has been updated to include a modern kitchen (really nice!) and bath. This was the perfect location on the edge of Pella's town, yet easily accessible to the activities. The home was fantastic!"

"Thanks so much for a very nice place to stay for my family, when we gathered with our extended family . We needed a few more bedrooms to sleep. Your place was very acomodating and very nicely deocorated for Christmas. The only thing is that the carpet was very soiled in the down stairs. I understand when you have a wedding party you would have a lot of tracking in on the carpet. It was a very nice quality carpet, just hopefully you clean it once in while. Thanks for a great stay.

Cozy Fairfield Countryside Retreat with Patio!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"The kitchen was great, making cooking for the group easy. There were plenty of dishes and utensils for our group. The dining room table was small for a group of 20+, so we were very glad we had taken folding tables and folding chairs along. We had an issue with a bedroom and bathroom getting accidentally locked, but the owner promptly made arrangements to have someone deal with that. The house had a beautiful Christmas tree that we all enjoyed. The house had only 5 private bedrooms but plenty...
