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!
