Ellis House - "Very cute, clean and quaint!"

A bit of history: On June 21, 1847, this property was part of a 40 acre spread in Perry Township purchased by John W. Ellis - from the US Government.
Today the Ellis House is a fully furnished, short term rental. Complete with modern kitchen amenities, high speed internet, outdoor grill on back patio, central air and washer & dryer. Streaming TV and Blu-ray player. Two bedrooms (king and twin bed), queen hide a bed, and additional queen air mattress. Rental rates for single nights or stay up to 3-4 months. French press or drip coffee, your mornings will be perfect. Step out into the morning air and watch the sunrise over the Historic Davis County Courthouse. Great for family events, hunting trips, or just a home away from home...

It is furnished with second hand stuff,
so not new or deluxe (mattresses/hide-a-bed are new!). Our prime audience caters to the many hunters of SE Iowa. We continue to make improvements as time and contractors are available!

The Ellis House was exactly what my family needed for the weekend! The house is deceiving from the outside - it contained plenty of space for us to spread out! Amanda was amazing with communicating with and was great to work with! The only Con of Ellis House is the curb appeal - the outside doesn’t equal the inside. We did not spend a lot of time at the house - just to shower and sleep - so I can’t speak to how the kitchen or lounging around the house is but we would definitely return if we ever have the need again! Thank you, Ellis House!

Good for short term stay.
The house could really use a quick clean before guests come. Dead bugs all over and spiders in the bathroom. Musty smell when you walk in too. Otherwise owner was accommodating and had no major issues.

Nice idea but poorly executed.
The first night we were there we saw a mouse and found out that the kitchen floor was disintegrating slowly. The house smelled of mildew. I didn’t know what to do about it because we couldn’t get another room for the same price as quickly.

The property is located in a rural community in Iowa. We reserved it to attend a wedding in the area. It provided all we needed. This property is not an upscale venue. It is an old house in an old neighborhood. Decor can be described as ecclectic. The bed was comfortable and so was the temperature in the house. We would reserve the property again if we are in the area vs one of the motels in town. We wete able to prepare breakfast each of the 4 days we were there. The restaurants were closed for breakfast.

Very well furnished. I do not think there was anything that we needed for our stay that was not available in the house to use. Small and cozy, was exactly what we needed for our short stay. An older home, but well maintained with modern furnishings.
