About The Weis Mansion
The Weis Mansion B&B was founded by Christopher and Kelly Schmitz after purchasing the home in 2022. It was formerly the Wellington B&B, but had not been operated as such for many years.
​
The home is decorated as period as is practical without losing modern amenities Many bed sets and furniture is historic, but we have wi-fi and AC units in the warm months.
Homemade breakfast is made daily using many local ingredients including farm eggs, local honey, homemade yogurt, and bread.
​
We strive to be a quiet escape for whatever reason brings you to the Cedar Valley area.

We had an amazing stay with Kelly and Chris. Truly gracious hosts who make you feel very comfortable and at home. Beautiful building they obviously care a lot about. Everything was well presented, and the breakfasts were amazing. We had to leave early the last day but Kelly still made sure we had something to eat before we hit the road. Very conveniently located to Grout Museum and Cedar River/ Waterloo places. Would definitely recommend to stay there and we will make it the only place we stay for return trips.

I was so excited to stay at the Weis Mansion while visiting family in Waterloo. I will definitely be back. The house was warm on a cold winter day and the rooms are cozy. Breakfast is served to all guests at 8:30 am, with personal dietary modifications if needed (and provided in advance). I recommend the Weis Mansion B&B if you are looking for personalized accommodations & something different than a hotel experience.

This is a one-of-kind bed and breakfast! Everything about our experience at the Weis Mansion exceeded our expectations. The room was absolutely beautiful and so cozy. We appreciated the homemade and made-from-scratch food made by the owner. We also appreciated the local suggestions provided by the owner. We can’t wait for our next trip back to the Weis Mansion!
