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.

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.
