This historic location was an amazing home base for our girl’s trip to NE Iowa. It’s clean and such a unique place to stay. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for the four of us. Our favorite part was people watching from the sun room area, although margaritas on the back patio were a close second. :)

Wonderful location for a girls weekend!

Our group of friends had a lovely weekend in McGregor! The lodging was comfortable and spacious. The beds were cozy, and those Bare blankets! The ice machine was an appreciated bonus. Thank you to our host for recommending places for food and drink - we loved the places we visited. The locals were inviting. The view was great, and it was fun to stay at a historic site!

Worked well for our group...

Four of us were in the PdC area for some quiet-road bike riding. Some of the small compromises needed to enjoy an historic lodging such as this were a bit lost on us, so the value equation was a bit off. The separate bedrooms were nice. Communication was excellent, and a small noise issue (from roof repair) was temporary. Train noise at night might bother others, but wasn't an issue for us.
