Vacation rentals in Pella

“The space was exactly what we needed. My husband was especially impressed with the attention to detail and 60s style -even the kitchen ware and fixtures! The space was impeccably clean and well stocked. Sheryl even had dutch letters on the 1950s dinette table. Pella is a beautiful town and when we return, we will look for reservations at Sheryl's!”

“Mary was an outstanding host. Asked for a charcoal grill, she provided one. Pella Historical Landmark Cottage restored and refined to perfection. The beds are the best I have ever seen/used. 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1 claw foot tub, vary spacious cottage. Table games to play, new appliances, patio area w/fire pit in the big back yard, off street parking in the back alley. Close to downtown, close to stores. 2 couples could stay here with ease, vary spacious cottage. I cannot say enough about this experience and the host.... OUTSTANDING AND FANTASTIC!!!!! Thank You MARY!!!!!”

“Jeannie’s place was absolutely enchanting! My husband had to work on a nearby electrical project for a week for long hours, which left me and my cattle dog (Penny) on our own during the day without a vehicle. But instead of feeling lonely and bored, it was like being at a peaceful, spiritual retreat. Penny and I loved sitting on the porch listening to a symphony of songbirds. Multiple orioles and catbirds came to the feeder, and a sweet little wren came in and out of its quirky little home above a life-sized metal knight. The house was warm and inviting, with so many fascinating and interesting items on the walls. I told my husband that this was a home that is a testament to a life lived well. Jeannie has much to be proud of. She is clearly an interesting person with a wonderful story. Penny and I also had a wonderful time exploring the property. Don’t expect a sterile suburban cookie cutter environment. I loved the wilderness feel and the eclectic artifacts scattered about, including an authentic rough hewn log cabin, and an ancient airplane. Harvey is a tiny town of 277 people (according to the town sign), and Penny and I enjoyed walking every single street in the town over three days, and also biking out to the train trestle bridge on the outskirts of town. It was so interesting to see all of the different homes, most humble, but many clearly loved and maintained, often with quirky fun touches. The people we met on our wanderings were unfailingly warm and welcoming. Bob and I even stopped in “Peggy’s Place,” the only bar in town, and had the best time talking with the locals, who clearly enjoyed hearing about our upstate New York lifestyle, and gave us great recommendations. Peggy was the BEST. She even hooked us up with personalized pens and beer coosies! Overall, a great experience, one that I highly recommend. Thank you Jeannie, and the rest of the people in Harvey who were so welcoming!”
