My wife and I really enjoyed our stay celebrating our 15th anniversary in Mason City. Well designed old home with winding staircase. Breakfast was delicious and could accommodate vegetarian diet. Very comfortable bed. And the home is in great location- enjoyed visiting music man square and museum very nearby. I tried booking directly with the owner but had trouble connecting so ended up booking through this third party vendor, which ended up working fine.

It's a beautiful historic Victorian mansion from the late 1800s that's luxurious and elegant. Cynthia's a marvelous, personable host and great cook. Staying at the Decker House is a pleasure.

Nice get-away in Mason City, Iowa.

A very lovely Bed and Breakfast. We stayed in The Lily of The Valley room. It was a good room at the top of the stairs, perfect for a couple. The queen bed was very comfortable and provided a good night sleep. The bathroom was clean with a walk-in shower. House cats were very friendly and welcoming. Waking up to the smell of breakfast being prepared was divine and it tasted as good as the aroma. The residence is within walking distance of the lovely downtown and just around the corner from the Meredith Wilson (The Music Man) boyhood home. Would definitely book it again.

The house has an amazing history; is filled with period antiques including circa 1860’s pump organs, and a Geo Prince melodeon. It’s a true treasure in a historical area of Iowa. Close to Meredith Wilson museum and a walking distance from Frank Lloyd Wright’s only hotel (a must see!) Breakfast was superb and make from scratch. This is NOT a hotel and that is truly part of its charm. The owner is extremely gracious, charming and makes you feel at ease almost immediately. Ample parking, several dining options from $ to $$$.

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.

Poor communication, dog poop on outside sofa, no material on history of house, living area packed with many dining room tables and chairs, floor dirty and a messy appearance, cook was great. Also fix the door handles so they work. Place has potential but long ways to go.

Classy Stay

We had a lovely stay at the Decker House B & B. Cynthia prepared a gourmet breakfast in time for us to make our early morning tour of Mason City sites. Perfectly located a block from our starting point at the library, near the Meredith Wilson childhood home and museum and a few blocks from the Frank Lloyd house and museum. Beautiful interior living room and dining areas. We stayed in the master suite Magnolia room on the top floor. Well appointed room with nice jacuzzi tub and sizable private bathroom. Fridge in the room, comfortable King sized bed. Tastefully decorated all throughout the house. We will return when we come back to explore the bike trails and Clear Lake area near by.
