Staying at the historic American House 1854 was an unforgettable experience. The property beautifully preserves its history, while offering modern comforts. Every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. The rooms were immaculate, comfortable, and full of charm. Communication with hosts, including directions, was terrific. The location was perfect for exploring both McGregor and the surrounding area. We liked being able to walk to all the shops in town. A bonus was a book on a side table that shared past stores of the area, including one about American House 1854! If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the area, this is the place!

This was a very nice property. It served our needs as we were in the area for a quick get away with the family. It is a quaint little town right on the Mississippi. Would definitely stay there again if we head back in the same direction. Very responsive host with any questions we had.

This place is in town and close to shops and restaurants. The train tracks across the street are busy with freight trains, so that can get loud. Inside is clean. The kitchenette is small but has everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There is a large table and chairs in the main room with 2 beds. I found the main room to be a little dark, even with all the lights on. Overall, an excellent place to stay and the owners were communicative and responded promptly to messages.

Bachelorette party

We stayed for my twin’s bachelorette party and had the best time. The layout of the rooms were perfect to relax and hang out all together. It was walking distance to all the shops and bars and river access across the street and had plenty of parking. We had a great time!

Loved it!

We very much enjoyed our stay! Beds were comfortable and the update to the bathroom was beautifully done. The location was perfect for our Annual Girls Trip. Great for exploring Pikes Peak and Wyalusing. McGregor is a charming little town with food options and a cute new coffeehouse, The Brim. Communication with Sara was prompt and pleasant. Would recommend and will likely stay again!

It was a very nice girls’ weekend stay for 3 older ladies. It’s a very old property, so as you might expect, doors could be a little hard to open, etc. Typical old house things that come along with the charm of an older building, but all 3 of us live in older houses, so it wasn’t unexpected. Everything we needed was supplied, and it was a short walk to a variety of restaurants and a convenience store. I would definitely recommend it.

Our host was excellent to work with - we had an issue with the lock on the door and she was very responsive with helping us solve the problem. The location to downtown was perfect for my husband and I walking distance to every shop. We would have liked to stay longer. We enjoyed looking through the guest registry and reading about the history of the house.

Fantastic location and cool history!Beds and bedding were comfortable. The bathroom was fantastic! Lots of towels too!Only downside is it is hard to get airflow in there.And the table in the 2nd room (with 2 queen beds) is hard because the lighting isn't strong in there.We knew this in advance - its a kitchenette, not a kitchen! The counter ice machine was really helpful!We loved it and will be back!
