Can’t even describe how pleased we were with the Cupola Inn. Hosts Judy and Dale… nicest folks ever. The place was so welcoming… you’ll love it, too, especially if you love cats and barns!

Beautiful property and very nice owners! Country setting with walking trails around the acreage. It has well water so bring plenty of bottled water. You won’t want to drink it.

Cute and quiet

Wow what an adorable place. We felt so welcomed and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing.... home cooked meals are the best. You're definitely off grid but it was so relaxing being off social media. I would stay here again.

Delightful and Relaxing

I felt so happy and at peace here. The hosts were friendly, and the location was beautifully landscaped. There is a river close by where you can sit and watch the rolling water. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The wraparound porch was so pleasant on a summer evening. I was greeted in the morning with a wonderful breakfast. There was no Wi-Fi, but that was a blessing. I enjoyed looking at the beautiful books about barns and covered bridges and just enjoying the peaceful setting.

Limited amenities but very nice people.

The couple was so kind. If you are looking to unplug (not have wi-fi or a lot of access to things nearby)this is the place for you. They had kittens and a beautiful nature area. I just want to make sure that people who are looking for a different type of experience are not misled. There is no Wi-Fi here. The breakfast was adequate. A good place for solitude and reflection.

My brother and I were riding in the RAGBRAI bike ride across Iowa and a mid-week overnight town was Mason City. We booked the Cupola Inn B&B after the 100 mile ride day, and it was a great place to stay. The proprietors went over and above to make our stay comfortable and convenient. My wife, had she been with us, would have loved the flower beds, "farm art", cats, and the cupolas. It was enjoyable to walk around the grounds and see everything. We took care of our gear using the onsite washing machine and dryer so we had clean clothes for the rest of RAGBRAI. We did not stay for breakfast, unfortunately, but it seems it is prepared to order and not a set menu. I just can't say enough about what a calming and quiet reprieve the Cupola Inn was mid-week. If I'm ever back in Mason City, I'd love to take my wife and stay at the Cupola Inn.

Loved the uniqueness of this B&B. Judy was vey friend,y,and helpful. The property looked great…unfortunately it was cold and rainy during our stay so we didn’t get to enjoy it. Room was cozy, bed comfy and breakfast was yummy. Would definitely recommend this little gem.

What a lovely quiet respite. Each room is unique and cupolas are everywhere. We breakfasted outside our room overlooking lovely gardens. The couple who own this run it with love. We enjoyed getting to know them. Definitely worth getting off the interstate to stay here and wander around.

Judy was so fun to chat with-breakfast was too short as we all needed to be getting on the road. The property was very well kept-so many beautiful flowers, lots of fun decorating touches in the room. Hope to stay again!
