You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming, modern and cozy retreat on the bike path

Stay inside a piece of history! This cozy cottage was built in 1856 by the Dutch homesteaders and has been updated to include all modern amenities.

You will be close to everything in this fully remodeled 2 bedroom, 1 bath home. Whether you are exploring shops around the square, the trails around Lake Red Rock, or visit family, the Rock House is the perfect place to recharge at night.

Make yourself at home. I provide everything you need to make your Pella stay memorable! From the moment you pull up, you will see how unique this property is! Sit by the fire pit and enjoy the night sky’s. Or dine out on the patio and listen to the birds sing. This house is close to everything but you feel like you are in your own private sanctuary. The house is right next to Central College, a short walk to the square and just a short drive or bike ride to Red Rock Lake.

Inside you will find the comforts of home. Cuddle on the couch and watch a movie, cook dinner in our well appointed Kitchen, and get a good nights rest at the end of your day. Their is a main level bedroom with a comfortable king size mattress. The upstairs space is charming with 2 cozy twin beds. I love comfort when I’m traveling, so I stock the house with extra blankets, pillows, nice soaps, and a coffee bar to wake you up in the morning!

Beautiful cottage

The historic cottage was perfect for a girls’ weekend for my friend and I. We loved reading about the history and seeing all of the unique details in the home. I will definitely book this listing again if I’m back in pella. I can see my children loving the attic room.

Our 2nd Stay

This was our 2nd stay at Rock House. Great location close to Central College. My twins love the upstairs bunk room though the steps are very steep- be careful in stocking feet. This tiny house was cozy on a cold and windy night. A possible suggestion would be to add a mirror in the sunroom. It is a good space to get ready for the evening/day since the bathroom is so tiny. I'm sure we will be back again. Love the Rock House

Family History

The Rock House is a lovely cottage. It is quiet (except some floor creaks), beautifully appointed, comfortable and cozy. It's an amazing structure after nearly 170 years. It's an easy walk to Central's campus and a very short drive to any part of Pella and to Red Rock Lake.
