Knoxville, Iowa
English Creek Retreat is located just 2.5 miles South of the town of Knoxville on Highway 14. Surrounded by alfalfa fields, this studio has a back country feel while being only a quarter mile off of the main highway.
Wildlife, especially deer, can be viewed in the early morning and evening in the alfalfa fields surrounding the studio. Several self landscaped flower gardens as well as a vegetable garden can be viewed at your pleasure.
English Creek Retreat offers easy access to the nearby towns of Knoxville and Pella, which offer many seasonal activities such as sprint car races and tulip time. The capitol of Iowa, Des Moines, is only 40 miles away and offers all varieties of shopping and dining options.
The studio and the main house are separated but on the same acreage so guests can enjoy the privacy of their own space while still having as much interaction with the hosts as they desire.
We have one dog and farm cats which are free to roam around the acreage so we do not allow pets. All of the animals are easygoing and family friendly.
Cell service can be spotty to nonexistent inside the building.
English Creek Retreat is a secluded acreage located down a private lane. We share the lane with one other house.
We had a great stay. Property was clean and well kept. Check in/out was easy and it's only a couple miles from Knoxville and Pella for everything both towns have. Looking forward to staying again
Such an amazing little piece of heaven. Quiet countryside with all the amenities you need in a unique setting. The interior is designed so cute with all the essentials. I absolutely loved my stay.
Very clean! Great decor! Perfect spot.
Great place to stay, well off the road and tucked into a quiet setting. It had that at home feeling and we had absolutely no issues. We enjoyed our stay very much.
What a beautiful little gem of a place! Everything about it was perfect! I especially enjoyed the hummingbirds outside my window every morning!
Very friendly and helpful. Place was clean and had everything we needed. Will stay again
We had a very pleasant stay while attending the Tulip Time festival in the nearby community of Pella. The accommodations were well furnished and appointed, and the bed was very comfortable.
This property was beautiful and well taken care of. Julie was very nice, quick to reach out and reply to any questions. The space is comfortable and clean and decorated very nicely. The location itself was great- very easy to get to from the main roads. However, I was surprised how close it is to the main house. It wasn’t a problem at all, just something to note if you were looking for more space or privacy. The cabin/property itself is the front portion of a Morton building/workshop maybe? So when the owners go into the other portion of the building, you can see them walk by the window, hear the footsteps, gathering tools, etc. Again, no big deal and they were not intrusive at all during my stay. Just something I wasn’t expecting and thought could be helpful for others to know. It was a great weekend and I’m thankful to have stayed here. The view was gorgeous and it was a great property!
Nice property in the country. Very modern. Great internet and satellite tv and in floor heat was very comfortable. Worked perfectly for our outdoor activities.
If you are looking for a quiet weekend getaway in a beautiful cabin and location, this is it! I look forward to visiting again!
We loved every moment of our stay! Julie is wonderful and the accomodations are lovely!! The cabin is so unique and a perfect spot for a quiet, romantic and peaceful getaway. We will definitely come back and would recommend this property to anyone!
If you need to stay in this area... this is the place. VRBO pictures don't do it justice. Thank you so much for the stay!
Clean, comfortable and we loved it.
It was a great place to stay. It was exactly what we expected after seeing the pictures and description. Julie was very nice to work with and was a beautiful place.
This is our favorite place to stay when visiting Red Rock. It hosts are very nice. The décor is comfortable and adorable. The location is private and the extra touches are plentiful.
We rented it for the Knoxville nationals Julie was a great host and the place was well kept. Whoever rents from her will not have any complaints.
Fantastic, awesome loved everything about the place and the owners !
We absolutely loved our stay at Julie's retreat. Everything was beyond expectations and we can't wait to stay with her next year for tulip time. She made sure we had absolutely everything we needed and it truly felt like home. We only wished we could stay longer!
