What a great find this was! Communication was excellent prior to our stay. There were two of us couples, each with our own bedroom and adjoining bathrooms. We had shared living quarters which was great for playing cards, making plans for the day, etc. We spent some time out on the patio which was very pleasant. Breakfast was a pure treat!! Absolutely delicious! Steve and Nancy were fantastic hosts! We would highly recommend a stay at Heavenly Habitat!!

This was the best B&B we have stayed in so far and we have stayed at quite a few. We had the downstairs all to ourselves, which was a bedroom, a kitchen with large fridge/freezer and microwave, a living room and a bathroom with clawfoot tub and a separate area with a walk in shower. The decor was so carefully and lovingly done and the food was delicious! We loved meeting some new people at breakfast. The price was very reasonable.

We were on a road trip for my wife’s birthday. Our itinerary had us hitting 10 states. We had passed through Winterset 7 months prior and we promised ourselves we would come back and stay in Winterset. Truth be told, what attracted us to Winterset was to see the covered bridges. My wife has always wanted to stay in a bed and breakfast, and I have always been hesitant. I feel that I am somewhat stubborn but after reading the reviews and seeing pictures of the B and B and reading about Steve and Nancy’s hospitality, I could not think of another place that I would want our first B and B experience. The people of Iowa treated us with open arms and our experience with Steve and Nancy were no different. From the time we checked in they greeted us and they made us feel welcomed. We had a fantastic conversation and we felt right at home. My wife and I only booked 1 night because our itinerary had us traveling and staying in another state the following day. Well, the following morning we got up and Steve and Nancy had prepared breakfast for us. We ate, drank coffee, and had a fabulous conversation about life, life experiences, Iowa, and specifically the town of Winterset. Literally, Winterset is that town you dream about. Its quite, the town is clean, the people are friendly, everybody smiles and waves. Put those thing together and it makes it a place you do not want to leave. After breakfast when we were packing up to leave we wanted to stay another day foregoing our plans to move on to a another state according to our itinerary. We wanted to turn back the clock and do it all over again, So we did, I went upstairs and asked Steve if by chance there was a room available for that evening, and what do you know, by pure luck a room was available. If it weren’t for the way Steve and Nancy made us feel like family and if it weren’t for the way the rooms were clean, comfortable and homey, and especially if it weren’t for the delicious homemade Iowa breakfast we would not have stayed another night. Steve and Nancy we just want to let you know you made our trip memorable. In all my years of traveling I have never had an experience like that before and it is one I will remember forever. To all the people who are considering Heavenly habitat Bed and Breakfast or if you are unsure where to stay in Winterset, there is zero thinking necessary. If you want memories to last a lifetime with the hospitality you require, you need to stay here. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much Steve and Nancy for an extremely wonderful experience full of conversation, laughs and not to mention the breakfast. Thank you so much, Marty and Ruthie.

We had an amazing stay with Nancy and Steve! The breakfast was wonderful, and I love that they thought of our young kids when crafting the menu. We all felt very pampered and spoiled with a beautiful table setting, and a delicious meal. The B&B is just perfect, with every little detail thought of, and wonderful decor throughout that makes you feel both at home, and like you are in a very cozy and special place. Definitely recommend!

Heavenly Habitat Bed and Breakfast was an excellent place to stay in Winterset. The hosts, Steve and Nancy Fauser, were so friendly and accommodating. We were a group of two couples and a teenager, and the rooms fit us perfectly. Two of us adults were upstairs with a lovely bedroom and bath, and a living room, dining room and kitchen. The other two adults and the teen were downstairs, with a very big bedroom and bath, and a living room area. Coffee makers were available both up and down, as were TVs and wifi . The breakfast was outstanding, with sausages, egg bites, waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, coffee and juice. So tasty! Our stay was an exceptional experience.
