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.

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!
