About this property

Quaint & Comfy in Pella

This 1152 square foot home is the perfect fit for family, friends, and out of town business workers to enjoy the amenities of home. While visiting the beauty that only the Heartland of Iowa can offer. Guest are sure to enjoy a memorable stay in this newly remodeled 3 bedroom, 2 bath home nestled in the quaint Dutch Community known as Pella, Iowa. Home of the annual Tulip Festival held in May each year.

The 1st floor bedroom with it's queen size bed opens up to the backyard deck. Both bedrooms on the 2nd floor have queen size beds. Enjoy quiet evenings in the spacious living room with a large flat screen TV or nestled up reading a relaxing book. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities for cooking at home. The kitchen table seats 6. The backyard deck allows for time to relax while cooking on the outside barbeque, weather permitting.

Pella Windows Headquarters is a 5 minute walk from the front door. Veermer Headquarters is a 5 minute drive. Knoxville is a 24 minute drive west to the Knoxville Raceway. Looking to take in 18 holes on that beautiful sunny day? Bos Landen Country Club is a short drive, across town past Central College. Pella Golf & Country Club sets on the north edge of town, just 10 minutes away. There are plenty of parks to stroll in, Red Rock Lake to explore, hiking, fishing, and kayaking. Hungry? Head over to George's for Pizza. Smokey Row is perfect for a pick me up cup of coffee while strolling through the shops. For that sweet spot, Dutch Letters & Pastry can be found at Jaarsma Bakery & Vander Ploeg Bakery on the square. Or you may want to swing past Velds meat market for the much talked about Pella Bolonga or Ulrich's meat market for Dutch Imports.

We just purchased this home in June of 2017. The first two months were spent on an extensive renovation. To say that we are excited to share our quaint and comfortable home with you, your family, and friends, is not an over statement. We realize that many guest will be meeting up with friends and family in Pella. As well as business trips, and visiting your children going to school at Central College. We are happy to assist in any way as you prepare for your stay in our comfortable & relaxing home.

I am very happy to offer Extended Stay Accommodations. As well as offering an extended stay rate based on the amount of days needed. At the time of requesting your extended stay of 7 days or longer please state to me the amount that you feel your company will allow for housing. I will do my very best to consider your request. Keep in mind that there will be tax and service fees attached to the quoted price. It is my pleasure to offer comfortable and pleasant accommodations for those with Extended Stays in our beautiful community.

During your stay simply contact us with any questions you may have. We hope that you will sign our guestbook before returning home. Please be sure to share your families thoughts on the Homeaway site as to how your stay with us went! We want to make sure that we have done everything possible to make your stay one you will reflect on with a Smile!

Such a homey feel it was sad to leave but planning for our next trip and will absolutely stay at this house many times in the future. From the family gathering time to our kicking back to relax this house was perfect. All the personal touches and the Jaarsma bakery box truly felt like coming home.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Buchanan

Host profile image
Hello!
We are Don & Deb Buchanan. Raised and graduated from high school in the Quad City, Illinois area. Our lives took us to opposite sides of the United States, Florida & California to start our journey. I had finally moved back to the Heartland living in my dream home in the country for 10 years. When our mutual friends thought that our paths should cross again after 32 yrs. Well they were right! We recently celebrated our 11th anniversary. My husband takes great joy in letting everyone know that in two small words he became a husband, step-dad, and grandpa aka Paka! Donnie is a retired Graphic Designer working for 20yrs at Moffitt Cancer Research Center, based in Tampa, Florida. In 2017 Don took a position at Pella Corp doing something completely different. I am a retired Social Worker who has spent my career working with the elderly in the nursing home setting.
We love to travel! The opportunity for us to purchase our vacation rental in the beautiful Dutch community of Pella, Iowa was perfect. Two of our 3 children and their families, as well as one parent call Pella home. What a Great way to spend more time with them.
We look forward to welcoming, you, your friends, and loved ones! It is our hope that you will find all the comforts of home as you relax and vacation in and around Pella, Red Rock Lake, Knoxville, Newton, and the surrounding areas.

Why they chose this property

Donand I enjoy traveling. We have spent our vacations in homes across the United States and Europe. We have taken being a Vacation Home Owner very seriously. We want you to enjoy your stay with us.

What makes this property unique

Why Pella? Pella is a beautifully kept community right here in the Heartland of Iowa. Well known for it's strong Dutch Heritage and the annual Tulip Festival held in May. Close to Red Rock Lake and Dam, as well as the Knoxville Raceway. You want to get away from the hustle and bustle of home. Here is a relaxing, quiet, and beautiful community. Sometimes, we just need to get away. After a day of strolling the shops, eating Pella Pastries, or Pella Bologna you can come back to the comforts of home. There are always things to do, places to visit and festivities throughout the Summer within Pella and the surrounding area. Fall and Winter will lend it's own beauty to Pella.
