This home was perfect for our family of four visiting Pella over the holidays. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the main living/dining room provided a space where we could be together for meals, card games and entertainment, and the kitchen had all the amenities we needed.

Such a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing it with us! Came to Pella to spend my 48th birthday with some girlfriends. Had a great time. So happy to have such a safe, comfortable, beautiful home away from home to stay in. The little extras like coffe and creamer. Make-up towels etc were such such a nice touch.
