Squirrel's Nest Bed & Breakfast, LLC

We loved our time at the Squirrel's Nest! Our room (Bear's Den) was spacious, quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was delightful--as was the view of the river from the dining room. The hosts were sweet and very helpful. Recommend!

What a find? David & Inez run a delightful, ‘heavenly’ B&B on the top of the Mississippi River bluff you must try. An exceptional addition to the historic home awaits those that have booked the special room. Wonderful views, a couple sized whirlpool bath and completely private space awaits. A delightful, educated and inspirational couple will engage you to your heart’s content. The breakfast is very, very nice too. If you are traveling through SE Iowa, it’s worth a stop & stay! A top B&B in the country, literally!!!

The Squirrels Nest B&B in Burlington, Iowa was by far the best B&B I have ever visited anywhere in the US. We stayed a total of three nights for our wedding and would have stayed forever if we could. The view is spectacular and the penthouse was the most comfortable with a hot tub, private bathroom equipped with all the amenities, kitchenette, comfy bed, tv, air conditioning, squirrel decor and sound proof room. The breakfasts were most delicious with attention to detail that makes your head spin..our wedding morning plate was a beautiful omelette with heart and squirrel fruit adornments and home baked sweet breads, juice and coffee, bacon..and the owners got up extra early just to accommodate our needs. The absolute best part of our stay was the owners Inez and David, who were the most fa

Wonderful experience all-around. Beautiful location overlooking the Mississippi River; convenient to virtually everything we wanted to see and visit. Breakfasts were gourmet, even customized to a couple special dietary needs; our hosts were so accommodating and gracious. Rooms were lovely, bed was excellent -- we would definitely return in a heartbeat.

My husband's job has him spending a lot of time in hotels but this was his first time staying in a bed and breakfast so he wasn't sure what to expect. There was absolutely nothing to find fault with. We were in the top room and the view was amazing. The bed was very comfortable and the furnishing were so much fun (lots of squirrels!) Our hosts were so welcoming and the breakfast was delicious. You can tell they put their heart and soul into everything they do. Will plan on going back.
