Warren A.
We were in the building with one other guest! It was quiet and very comfortable! The breakfast meal was superb! The young woman that prepared the food was an artist! I have never had an omelet so light and tasteful! The Rose Room had a private balcony, that allowed us to sit outside and enjoy the weather! I definitely will stay there again!

Cynthia is a fantastic host and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home.

The owner was pleasant and helpful with information about the surrounding area. The outside of the house was not as well maintained as the inside. The breakfast was nourishing and well presented. Parking was adequate and close to entrance.

John
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.
Robert
Excellent period furnishings and atmosphere.

Unique old stately house in great condition. Wonderful hostess/manager, great cook had a marvelous breakfast.
Carole
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.
Joseph
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.
Melody
Can't wait to visit again
Cynthia is an amazing chef and a beautiful soul. She was willing to work around my schedule since I was here for a work conference. I am already planning on a return trip for a getaway instead of work. Be sure to go and stay with my new best friend.

James
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 $$$.

Cynthia is a fantastic cook and host. Her home is beautifully decorated and very clean and comfortable. It was super walkable as well. I would recommend to anyone visiting Mason City.
Jim
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.

Cynthia is a lovely hostess. I’ve stayed at The Decker House numerous times and enjoyed each of my stays.

This was a pretty older home. Nice room and great hostess!

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.
Jennifer
Nice quiet get-a-way.
Kristen
Gourmet breakfast and delightful accommodations in the heart of Mason City! Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Overall great stay. I highly recommend it for either a weekend getaway or traveling to Mason City to work for any extended length of time. I had the pleasure of staying for five nights. Cynthia and The Decker House were wonderful hosts.
Steven
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
John
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!

Madeline
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!

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!
Samantha
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.

Beauty and Charm combo in the Decker House.
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!

Decker House Surpassed My Grandest Expectations!
I really loved staying at the Decker House. It is run by an awesome staff, the breakfasts I had there rivaled the best brunch spots I've been to in my hometown, and the house is within walking distance of several must-see sites (the Music Man Square is literally out back, and the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum nearby is an unexpected treasure). Staff can also recommend some places to check out, too, based on what you are interested in. The staff has hosted folks during the Iowa Caucuses, so if you're looking for a cozy place to stay and get a restful night's sleep in January during the caucus, this place is for you.

It was an experience to stay in a B and B in a room in an older home in an historic city. I found it comfortable and quiet. Slept well. I would have liked to stay for breakfast but was committed to eat elsewhere with my 5 sisters. I would definitely stay here again. I would definitely recommend to others. Thank you.

Charming and worth the stay!
I was so glad this charming Bed and Breakfast showed up in my hotel search in Mason City, IA. I had just seen a write up for it in a local travel guide and decided to check out of another iconic hotel in town and check in this one. It was so fun to stay in the large and lavish \"Rose Room\" where Bill and Hillary once stayed. My daughter and I loved the never ending cookie jar, the private roof balcony with ta great view, table and chairs, and the huge king sized bed. Check in was great. The staff was super friendly and pointed me in the direction of good local sight seeing. Breakfast was wonderful and the other guests at the hotel were all so nice too, so eating in the dining room with strangers turned out to be quite lovely. I had to leave and check out at 4am so the staff was so kind they set the automatic coffee maker to brew for me at 4am! How considerate and awesome! If I ever travel to Mason City again, I will be returning to the Decker House!

Mason City Weekend for Two
Both ‘b’s in bed & breakfast are front and center - comfortable & restful bed; dynamite breakfast! Other guests were good company & conversations were easy to partake in The food was amazing: tasty,done from scratch, well-presented. A delight! we look forward to a second visit.
I will be happy to recommend our stay to others. Next year when we return, we will take time to explore the prairie architecture, along with that of Frank Lloyd Wright. If you like “Music Man”, you’ll enjoy Mason City.

Weekend visit to Mason City
The Decker House is very conveniently located near many of the historical landmarks, buildings, and attractions. Easy walk to the downtown square. The house is beautifully kept and very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The rooms were clean, well decorated and spacious. Our breakfast, while delicious, didn't offer many options and missing some essential condiments (ketchup for egg dishes) and our service, while adequate, could have been a little better. No complaints, just an observation for staff. We were told there would be coffee brewing in the kitchen by 7:15 a.m. but even at 8 a.m. it wasn't brewed. Perhaps we misunderstood how things worked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the Decker House and would most definitely recommend it and stay again on our next visit to Mason City. Thank you!
