American House 1854- Pocket City Penthouse, 2 Bedrooms, Full Kitchen & Dining
Visit this iconic building with the best view of the Mississippi River that McGregor has to offer. The American House 1854 is the oldest standing building in McGregor and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This 3rd floor penthouse is located right across the street from Big Bouys & Nauti Marina! Hear live music or walk across the street and rent a pontoon and enjoy life on the river! This property featured 2 bedrooms with Queen Beds and Smart TVs, and had a pull out couch to sleep all of your party! Many famous people have frequented the American House including former President Jimmy Carter and the legendary Mark Twain. Please note: This is a train town and we are located in close proximity to the tracks. Train noise should be expected. They are amazing to watch and we do provide complimentary ear plugs for your convenience.
Our host was great and checked in during our stay. Description of the home was accurate, rooms were clean, beds were comfy, the kitchen was stocked for our needs. Close to state parks, casino, winery and restaurants. Thank you for a great weekend.
My husband and I made a weekend get away and this was the perfect âtemporary homeâ. The main room was so cozy we woke each morning reading our bibles by the windows and watching the sun rise over the water. The wallpaper and look of the whole place was so unique and takes you back in time. We will be back, and next time with the kids!
From a nice stroll on Main Street to the river views, this penthouse was a nice getaway location. Welcoming community with small town shops. The eat in kitchen was well stocked with needed utensils. The bathroom was small but covered our needs. I would recommend this location for 4 people. We enjoyed our weekend escapade.
My family and I really enjoyed this property and would highly recommend! The location was great, walking distance to the river and downtown shops and restaurants. The penthouse was very nice and clean, a lot of space, and an amazing view. We will definitely be back.
Our overall experience was more than we expected. The host was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. The property is well maintained and blends a historic sight with modern conveniences. The sunrises are extraordinarily beautiful! It was a great experience and we highly recommend this location.
Great location, lots of space and all that we needed. It would have been nice if the air conditioning had been turned on because it was very hot and took quite some time to cool down. The beds were very uncomfortable
A quiet retreat to a small, historic Iowa River town is just the way to kick off the summer! The accommodations at American House are unique yet comfortable with the latest technology. The penthouse offers great river views. Light sleepers may wish to use ear plugs for the 1-2 trains that come through at night, but they were not problematic for us. Great restaurants, bars, shopping and ice cream is all a short walk away.This area of Iowa/Western WI is a hidden gem⊠good food and breweries, lots of hiking, and tons of history to enjoy within 15 minutes. We highly recommend American House and McGregor and plan to return.
This is a few miles away from my ancestral home. NE Iowa (the Driftless Area) is an amazing place. We hiked Pikes Peak and Effigy Mounds. Also caught some Rainbows and an 18 inch Brown trout in Yellow Rive State Forest!! McGregor is full of 100-150 year old buildings and they are all clean and beautiful, including this property. We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed the Rental as we were in a modern-like building that was built in 1854. Right out the windows we were looking at the Mississippi (just steps away). We will be back!
