Went to the tulip festival in pella. Stayed in a quiet tiny home out in the serene country side. My wife and I loved it.

Homey cabin
The cabin was very nice and comfortable to stay in. The furniture was pretty comfortable. It had a good size living room and every thing in the kitchen that you need. Overall it had everything that a family would need as far as a place to stay. I will probably use it again.
This property is absolutely fantastic! The owner was super friendly & hospitable. The interior was clean & well maintained. They didn’t spare any expense (like some VRBO’s do) on the mattress. It was super comfortable & I slept like a log. Super quiet & somewhat remote leads to a very nice stay.
Take a chance on this we’ll kept secret. You won’t be disappointed.

Peaceful stay
I loved that it was out in a very remote area amongst the cornfields! The cabin was very clean and stocked well! I brought stuff from home that I found I didn't need, which was a very nice touch! I loved the campfire and the sturdy deck chairs that were already there. It was a very private area, which I loved! I didn't have to use it, but there was also a very nice grill outside the cabin - also stocked with cooking utensils and propane! I will definitely book this place again!
This is one of 3 cabins right next to a campground out in the county in a valley. Beautiful area, very quiet and peaceful not really any traffic noise even with the gravel roads. Well maintained property and it even stays very nice temp wise even though it's only a wall unit for HVAC. I will definitely stay here again when the event comes back to Grinnell. Fire pit and grill outside with nice chairs to sit in. TV in main room and bedroom, 2 lofts so plenty of sleeping room.
