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!
