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.

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 $$$.

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.

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.
