We enjoyed your place very much. It worked well with our family size! Beautiful home. Beautiful setting. It was hot so the lake was great.

Very beautiful area, house is updated and in very good shape! Kids loved the bunk bed style rooms.No wifi but honestly don't need it with everything you can do around the area.

The property was as described. The house is much larger inside than what it appears from the outside. The owner was very responsive.

The house has a very large open living room upstairs, plenty of bedrooms for us. The backyard is large, although most of it fairly steep slope towards the lake. The lake was up several feet when we stayed, so the beach in the photos was under water. Pella is a 7-8 minute drive away. Overall we liked the property.

We get together each year with my cousins from Nebraska and Illinois. This year we attended the NASCAR race at the Iowa Speedway. This VRBO property was a great home to accommodate all of us together and easy access to the Iowa Speedway.

We had family from Nebraska and Illinois meet midway for some quality family time with babies up to grandparents. Great house to accommodate all our needs! We cooked, ate, laughed, played cards a just hung out. Really enjoyed the town of Pella and renting a boat for a day on the lake. One thing, the walk down to the beach area is more challenging than you might expect. Not all of our family members were able to make it down there, so sharing as an FYI.

House was clean and very spacious and a 5 minute drive to the marina. I would highly recommend it!

We rented this property for 3 nights for a family getaway and were thrilled with the accommodations! The open concept was perfect for our family and the space is larger that it appears in the photos. The house had everything we needed and the owner was a dream to work with! We highly recommend this property for your stay in the Pella area.

It’s a gorgeous open floor plan house with 6 bedrooms, two large living rooms. Perfect for our extended family to gather and reconnect. Close to the beach with shallow water perfect for kids. I’d highly recommend it.
