This place is so charming! We really enjoyed our time here. The country is so quiet, it was the get-away we needed. The church is so spacious and oh so beautiful and our hosts were so hospitable. Quick access to the amenities of Downtown Cedar Falls with all the perks of a quiet country retreat. Hoping to book more stays here in the near future.

The Himmel Haus was SUPERB! We thoroughly enjoyed the uniqueness of the converted old church building. It had the perfect amount of history with all the modern amenities that anyone could every want! We enjoyed celebrating my wife's 70's birthday along with our granddaughter's 20th (and she had a couple college classmates along)! We cooked, snacked, played games, visited around the firepit and in the hot tub! It was a FANTASTIC stay (a little short, being only 1 night), but these college girls are so busy with their classes, work and ROTC programs.We posted photos on Facebook and one of our friends from church said that he had refinished the floor in the church! What a small world! We highly recommend Himmel Haus, but suggest at least two nights!!!
