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.

Nice place, great owner!

The Decker House was very beautiful. We enjoyed looking at the woodwork and the lead glass windows. Our hostess, Cynthia was very nice and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay

never saw the owner, and didn't feel welcomed at all. Sure didn't appreciate the cat jumping up on our table and my plate while eating breakfast.

We stayed in the Magnolia room. It is incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated. The king-sized bed was very comfortable, and breakfast was delicious.

We enjoyed a spacious room (Magnolia), comfortable room temperature, engaging host, and a filling, tasty breakfast.

Beautiful area and friendly staff. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the free art museum and other cultural amenities within an easy walk. Best part of our trip!

I really enjoyed the breakfast atmosphere.

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 home, very comfortable, delicious breakfast, convenience to sites.

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!

A wonderful older property, lovingly restored. Historically significant and carefully preserved.

Gorgeous bed and breakfast with very welcoming hostess. The facilities is gorgeous, the woodwork was remarkable and the breakfast was incredible! This is a must see place.

We stayed here because we had a funeral in town. Cynthia was very accommodating, the room was beautiful and comfortable and she made a fantastic breakfast. Would stay there again if we needed to be in the area.

This was my first time staying at a B& B. The experience was great. I will definitely stay there again.

Cozy BnB but it needs some TLC.

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!

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.

Easy to get around. Nice breakfast.

No person to greet us,note in mail box.room looked nothing like on line.was clean,but dreary.lights dim,no bedside lamps.no instruction on tv.no local programs. Shower was great,hot water. Second floor,not good for elderly. Breakffast was a med.no coffee or tea offered.no one there when we checked out.

Absolutely fabulous!!! The host was welcoming and very friendly… She made great suggestions for dining!!! Our room was so lovely and upgraded to the room with a private outdoor seating area… Breakfast was wonderful and served beautifully!!! Highly recommend staying here!

There was no check-in process, no front desk, nothing to make you feel welcome. The front door was locked when I arrived, I had to call and the woman said she’d stepped out and she would get someone to open the door. I waited over 10 minutes until a dazed and confused teen in socks opened the door and said nothing while wandering away. I had to call out and ask how to check-in, they didn’t know and had to call someone. After another bit of standing around alone in the front hall the teen came back with a key and said my room was upstairs. That was the only person I saw for my entire stay. No directions to my room, instructions for check in…nothing. It’s old-style physical keys for the rooms which is neat but the doors and locks are old and there is a trick to opening them no one told me about. There was a sign INSIDE my room that said check-in is by appt only and yet when the property texted me the morning of my stay to ask when I would arrive and I said I HOPED to be there between 2-3 (I was coming from 3 hrs away and wasn’t entirely sure), they only replied “check-in is at 3 so that’s oerfect.” That leads one to believe your room will be ready at 3 or later, not “show up at 3:30 and no one will be around.” The room was cute and seemed clean, other than the disconcerting ring that appeared after I used the jacuzzi tub, making me wonder what had been floating in the water with me. Overall it was quiet but so freaking weird that no one was around on a Sat-Sun stay.

Adorable B&B. Host was great. Close to attractions.

Owner is wonderful, breakfast is outstanding, beautiful Victorian home.

Loved the ambience! Such a quaint peaceful setting! Cynthia, was an awesome hostess! Made us feel completely welcomed & she makes an awesome breakfast! I feel like I left an old friend behind when I said goodbye! Will definitely be back again!

Cynthia is a most gracious host. Breakfast was delicious, and the Rose Room was beautiful and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Decker House.

Beautiful historic residence is located at the edge of the bustling downtown. Walking distance to shopping and dining without the noise.

Owner was personable, stay was great with great rooms and the breakfast was outstanding. Definitely a must in Mason City or the area

Our stay was like a dream come true. This was a very special treat! Such a lovely home in a very interesting area. We were greeted with a warm welcome. And our room was Super! The home could have been in the best national magazine, as far as beauty and character. Our hostess was wonderful. She was well spoken and very educated on the history of the Decker House. Our breakfast was marvelous! It was beautifully presented and very tasty. All and all, the Best Choice we could ever make. We plan to visit again!
