Cupola Inn Bed & Breakfast

The Cupola Inn celebrated its 25th anniversary the beginning of October. Great place, great couple, and great history! Their four daughters helped them make the place. Judy is a retired baker who makes great breakfasts! The husband, Dale, with some help from his two brothers, built the round barn with stone from a salvaged barn. The interior picture of the roof is gorgeous. I have a video of the inside with the hundreds of collectibles added over the years, but have not figured out how to download a 35 Meg video. $79 a night instead of $99. Will definitely go back and take advantage of canoeing or kayaking: the river runs along one border of the property.

If you love farms, barns and history, comfort and a great breakfast? Stay here. The hosts were so kind and friendly and loved showing us their barn collection. My sister and I considered it one of our best stays during a month long trip across the US. We learned a lot about cupolas and I took some wonderfully pictures. We highly recommend this quaint retreat from noise and stress. Just friendly and clean.

Wonderful gracious hosts. Relacing place.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The couple that hosted/owned Cupola was excellent! The breakfast was amazing daily, The place was clean and easy to find! Loved having coffee by the wildflowers!!

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.
