Cynthia, the hostess, was most gracious and accommodating. The location was ideal for walking around the downtown area and for proximity to the Music Man Museum. Mason City is filled with little gems.

I'm so glad we chose to stay at the Decker House. Cynthia is just fantastic and the house itself is incredible and very comfortable. It's also really close to museums and places to eat, we walked around all day and didn't even think about getting in the car. Cynthia's breakfast was also really good, I've never had such wonderfully cooked potatoes. Highly recommend.

This Bed and Breakfast is a MUST visit, even if it’s for breakfast only! You won’t find a nicer staff, well decorated, or enjoyable room! We can’t wait to go back to Mason City next year so we can stay here again.

Beautiful roomy escape in downtown Mason City.
This was the second time we visited the Decker House. It is such a DELIGHT! It is a wonderful, well kept, beautiful home in the middle of Mason City. Just steps from much going on. Our host was SUPER. She is so friendly. She laughs and everyone wants to smile and laugh too! I look forward to my next stay!

More than we expected!
We had a wonderful overnight stay up in the top floor Magnolia room. After climbing the stairs up the three floors it was a beautiful oasis of calm. Everything had been thought of and the bed and bedding were so super comfortable and cozy. The attached bathroom was gorgeous and definitely take advantage of soaking in a hot bubble bath in the oversized jacuzzi tub. The morning breakfast was perfect with a fresh fruit and muesli over delicious yogurt before our yummy waffles. I wouldn’t just recommend to others, but definitely plan on coming back myself!

The BEST bed and breakfast
Incredible stay. I know it said bed and breakfast but we were blown away by the breakfast and treats that were in a jar by the entrance. Given that it is an old house I was nervous about the cold but it was cozy and warm. Not too hot at all. My only negative is regarding how quiet it is, I felt like I had to whisper in the room because I didn’t want to disturb the peacefulness. If you want a calm, relaxing stay with great food and beautiful architecture, this is the place to be. It was an incredible stay with a great location so everything was walkable. Will definitely be staying again in the future!

This is a nice b & b in downtown Mason City. It's close to everything for walking. The house is a historic building and the rooms are quaint and comfortable. The breakfast is amazing- Cynthia cooked us home made waffles! Cynthia is friendly and available. I would recommend this place.
