Absolutely Ideal!

We met up with friends to enjoy Pella and everyone was impressed with this beautiful property. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is ideal, and downtown was walking distance for us. What a beautiful historic home with character and comfort. We loved our time and will return for another stay.

Pella Charm

We had a wonderful time staying at the home. It was within walking distance to downtown Pella where there are a number of shops and restaurants. The owners were very responsive and accommodating meeting our needs. The home was very clean and provided extra pillows, towels and blankets. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for couple’s trip

Stayed with four couples for weekend of catching up, games, and big meals. We all loved it. Nice big spaces for us to cook and eat together. Everyone had comfortable sleeping arrangements and an easy walk to shopping in the square. Will come again. The Peanut Bar was a favorite for bloody Marys and mules.

Perfect in Pella

Could not been better. Charming elderly house with lots of nooks and crannies for hide and seek. Spacious, well equipped kitchen, large dining room with enormous round table providing space for 8, comfortable living room, and cozy bedrooms. Free Keurig coffee an unexpected welcome touch. Easy walk to downtown and the best bologna in the western hemisphere. Thank you Andrea for a great 8 days.

Family Get Together

Wonderful property that was perfect for us to call home for a few days. Only a few blocks from downtown to cute stores and great restaurants. Spacious, clean, well-appointed. Charming and homey. Comfortable beds. Low pressure in downstairs shower; however, upstairs shower has great pressure. The stairs into the house were somewhat steep and difficult to navigate, especially for us older folks. Easy and prompt communication with host. Flexible with check-in time which was greatly appreciated. We had a wonderful time and made great memories in this historic home. We hope to return next year. Thank you.

We stayed at the house for a quick overnight to attend a high school event early the next morning. We arrived around 8 the night before and had such a cozy night relaxing and chatting until turning in for the night. Plenty of space for 6 ladies! Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again!!

Beautiful and well-maintained home. Everything was well stocked - bathrooms, kitchen and games. My family stayed here during a family wedding and because everything was so well stocked, it was easy to attend all of the wedding activities and not worry about anything. All beds and AC were comfortable. Location is right off the town’s main square with lots of cute shops and cafes.

Perfect Family Reunion Getaway

We had 6 family members traveling from California, Georgia and Pennsylvania to visit family in a nearby small town. This historic home in Pella was perfect for our stay. We all had private rooms and the common areas were spacious enough to accommodate us all. We walked into downtown Pella daily for the restaurants and shopping, super convenient! Would definitely book again!

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Mccoy

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Andrea. I'm a working professional but also a real estate lover. I love to travel, paint, eat great food and spend time with my family.

Why they chose this property

This property is so special. It was built in 1892 by the owners of the Pella Dairy which was called the Clover Leaf Dairy. It has a ton of historic charm but with modern furnishing that make this house a home. I love that this home brings people together to enjoy everything Pella has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The Pella Downtown Square is 3 blocks from the house. Enjoy a short walk to the park, shopping, or out to dinner.
