About this lodge
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.

Accommodations were lovely as was the view. Street parking was not a problem. Highly recommend a stay here. The only drawback is the staircase if you have mobility issues and the proximity to the railroad tracks if you are a light sleeper! But honestly, these were not an issue with our stay, just a heads up. This property has other room options and the pictures show a great representation of the space. I may come back just to stay in one of the other options! Hosts are great to work with!!

We stayed in the pocket city penthouse. It was quite spacious, with historic charm (gorgeous wood floors), and had a wonderful view of the Mississippi. This place and McGregor in general, are gems for anyone who appreciates history-- and especially those who enjoy a mix of natural beauty and preserved architecture.

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
