Very clean, charming, newly updated, great for limited mobility because of lower steps both front and back doors. I use a walker sometimes and did not have trouble with entryways. Bathroom had lovely walk in shower with a hand held wand. And if you use a shower chair ther woild be enough room for one. Also a higher toilet. Although not advertised as Handicap accessible it was actually closer than some properties we rented . Very pet friendly. We forgot our water bowl and they had one there, thank you.Also so close for day trips to Pella, Winterset, Bridges of Madison County and so many lakes and of course the Knoxville Speedway and Midget car racing. Great hosts and loved being there in May when the bushes and flowers and Locust trees where showing their lovely colors.
House was wonderful. My family stays in many different Vrbo sights and this has been one of the best! Had everything one would need for an extended stay. Would rebook this location.

Great property for our quick trip! Beds were a little hard but it’s a beautiful home and has all amenities we needed.
We had such a great time staying here over the weekend while a few friends and I were in town for a wedding. The house was very clean and had the cutest decorations throughout. Instructions were simple and clear. We had no issues and would certainly stay again!

Very nice house, the host or property manager was very helpful and they provide everything you need for a very relaxing stay. I would give my highest recommendation to anybody needing to stay in Knoxville Iowa. Great stay.
This was our 2nd stay at “Miss Becky’s” and we were just as pleased with the home as before. Super clean, everything you cld need is supplied and easy to find. Thanks for another very enjoyable stay during our annual Tulip Time in Pella visit.
Very clean, very comfortable. The house was on a very busy street, so it was a little difficult to get in and out of the driveway during rush hour times.
The property owners were very accommodating and anticipated any need I may have had.
Their notebook with local restaurants and attractions was extremely helpful.
It was a great stay.
Very updated and clean. It's on the main drag in Knoxville so it's easy to get anywhere in town. We did not use the grill, deck, or fire pit as we were off at family functions, but it appears as if the owners have thought of everything for a guests comfort.
Cousins meeting. Great place, near Pella and Red Rock Lake. About halfway between central MN and central MO. (Note if traveling from the south, take 63N, not suggested route from Google.)
My wife and I stayed here last year also, as it's close to my sister's house. She is getting up there in age, and we enjoy having the opportunity to visit her.
This accommodation is one of the best VRBO's we've stayed at, and we have stayed at several. Everything about this house is delightful. It's tastefully decorated, and very comfortable, with a garage and a lovely back yard.
Bridget, the owner, is very friendly and attentive to our every need.
We intend to come back for other visits in the future.
Went to Knoxville for the races, which were rained out. We still had a fun time anyway. The house was perfect for our group of three guys on a weekend trip. Clean, updated, 1 mile from Knoxville Raceway, walking distance for us. Next time we want to go to the races here, we will definitely try to book this house again.
My wife and I went to Knoxville, Iowa to visit my sister who lives there, and we were delighted to find this lovely property to rent for five days. Bridget is a great host, and she provides outstanding amenities with this house. The flatware and dishes were a matched set and of top quality. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom well equipped with everything we needed. There's a nice back yard and patio, and even a garage, which a lot of VRBO properties don't have.
We enjoyed staying here very much.
Thank you again for a lovely place to stay. We have a yearly visit with family and friends in Knoxville for the Cornbelt Nationals. You offer everything we need, just like being at our own home.

About the host
Hosted by Bridget Mohler & Shawn DeWaard-B Dubs Properties LLC
Bridget & Shawn have been friends for years, along with their spouses. They had some money and a wild hair, and decided to go into the property rental business.
Why they chose this property
Bridget's neighbor, Ms. Becky, decided it was time to move and over the years, Bridget had always told her she gets to help pick the new neighbors. Shawn and Bridget decided this would be a good time to buy Ms. Becky's house and go into business together.
What makes this property unique
Perfect size home for someone just passing through town or needing a short term rental.
