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.
