    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.

    We loved our stay here and Sara was a perfect host. We enjoy visiting this area a few times a year, but the accommodations this visit made it even better. Looking forward to staying again!

    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.

    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!

We hiked local parks which had great views of the Mississippi. The locals are helpful and welcoming. Our host was attentive. House was clean and decorated nicely. Comfy bed. Highly recommended and we would stay again!

    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.

    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!
