This Victorian appears to be a really neat place to stay, but you need to ask some details before you stay.
Light fixtures seem to be an attempt to share authentic fixtures, but only one bulb lit in the two fixtures on the main level. The dining room fixture was not connected to the switch on the wall, but we learned that there must have been a button near the kitchen that was the control.
The plumbing was challenging. When we used the toilet on the main level, it did not flush and we had to pour water in the tank with every use. It is nice that they have one bathroom attached to each bedroom upstairs, but it was a bit ridiculous in one room to find the shower in what used to be a closet, & then to find a toilet in that same space. We had to move the toilet paper when using the shower & clean up the toilet after every shower. In all situations, the water took several minutes to warm up.
This home is not easy for people who have difficulty with stairs. I don't recall seeing anything that mentioned the bedrooms were only accessible by using the staircase, which was difficult for one of our guests to navigate. The steps from the front porch were also a challenge for everyone, as they are falling apart.
Found lots of bugs and months of dust under the bed when plugging in a device.
Did not bring these to the owners attention because I was only able to be there one night. She was prompt to reply, but made it seem that all of this was acceptable.

My family and I had a great stay at McGregor Manor. It was in the perfect location, close to Pikes Peak and Effigy Mounds. My boys also loved that there was a city park a block away with swings and slides. Downtown was just a few blocks away, though the weather kept us from walking around town much. We ended up crossing into WI, which was only a few minutes away.
The house was very unique and reminded my of my great-grandmother's house when I was growing up. Lots of space, place for the kids to run around and play. They LOVED the "closet bathroom"!
Katie was gracious and accommodating, quick to respond to our questions.

What an incredible property! So historic and lovely. Peaceful neighborhood, could lightly hear the passing of trains at night. Beds SO COMFORTABLE!! Ten minutes to prairie du chien . Such quaint river communities.
8.0
All of the living spaces were large enough to accommodate our group. The beds were -very- comfortable. The size and updates to the kitchen made food preparation easier. We liked that we could open some windows for fresh air. The firepit in the back yard was wonderful also.

We enjoyed this getaway for our family with diverse needs...elderly parents, adult child with autism and 2 tween girls. The home was exactly as promised in the description. The historical building is beautifully decorated and appointed,, with every kitchen or household supply one might need for a longer stay...Tupperware, foli and saran, essential paper products, shower essentials, even bug spray, etc, etc.
The AC is only in the bedrooms and in the kitchen, which was only noticeable as a problem on the muggiest day of our trip. We loved the outdoor fire pit and grill, as well as the front porch swing and seating. For those if you with older visitors, there are 2 stairwells, which was handy, as the beautiful front stairs are lovely, but difficult for those with older knees, etc.. The 2nd stairs have excellent handrails and made the up and down manageable for my older parents. The space in the home is more than adequate to provide both together time, as well as pockets for folks to gather in smaller groups. We loved playing games they had in the home and that we brought with us and exploring the many things McGregor has to offer. Katie and Brent were very responsive in addressing our questions, including our challenges with technology. :) We would stay here again! Thank you!

We recently spend 10 nights in this lovely historic home. Wonderful original features including woodwork, floors, gorgeous staircase, a 2nd rear staircase, high decorative tin ceilings, & a traditional wide front porch. The photos online are representative of the home.
Pros:
-There are many, starting with the excellent response by Katie, the gracious host, to any issue, large or small. The house is very clean.
We are frequent VRBO/HOMEAWAY users. The most important factors for us:
BEDS which are very comfortable in every bedroom. All bedrooms are upstairs.
INTERNET- Very good. Husband had Zoom meeting and it worked well. No cable TV, streaming only option - works fine. (1 TV in the house.)
KITCHEN has been updated, is modern and quite functional w/ quality pots & pans, plenty of dishes & silverware. Gas stove, dishwasher, large side by side fridge with ice maker, & a coffee drip brewer. There is an in-kitchen dining nook & a separate dining room beyond the kitchen.
BATHROOMS - each bedroom has its own bathroom. Pretty neat as they were originally the closets. One of the King bedrooms has a quirky toilet/shower combo that is unusual in design but is functional. Plenty of hot water. There is 1 bathtub/shower combo near the twin room. Plus a 1/2 bath on the main level.
LOCATION: Nice quiet neighborhood & neighbors. Walkable to the main business/shopping district and the river. Backyard garden with firepit & gas grill. We used it often.
CONS: Very few. Washer & Dryer is the the basement. It’s a little spooky down there, but works fine. No central air - window A/C’s instead. Main drawback is its a bit loud for sleeping.
We would stay again.

We wanted to see the Driftless area of Iowa and Wisconsin, and McGregor seemed like a great place to stay. Our young kids were enchanted by the old house and its mysteries. We've stayed in many rental homes and this had just about the best stocked kitchen in terms of equipment and spices, etc. It's an old home, formerly a bed and breakfast so it has many bathrooms, and the floors squeak. But we found it charming. Very clean! Nice neighborhood too. Quiet at night.
5.0
Absolutely amazing experience to have friends and family share. Wedding in Pikes Peak Park and accommodating. This has all the conveniences and unbelievable space for spending time together and sleeping space. All the amenities you need and the air conditioning was outstanding. Close to many restaurants and the river. On our list to visit again

Spent three nights in this amazing and historical house. Modern amenities, but keeps the historic charm.
5.0
Overall excellent. Parking was tricky for the amount of people staying. Maybe suggestions for parking locations during winter with worries of alternate street side city rules.
Very cozy spaces!
