More than we expected!
My sisters and I do a sisters weekend every year and we look for unique places to stay all over Wisconsin to really appreciate our lovely state. We chose to travel and meet in McGregor Iowa for a weekend of relaxing, shopping, eating and catching up. This unique apartment in McGregor was one of our most memorable weekends. So much to do and see... we agreed to make plans to come back because we didn't have time to take it all in. Our host was very detailed and the communication was excellent. Thank you so much to Sara for checking on us and providing above and beyond what we needed to have a wonderful get away for 3 sisters. We will be back.

Relaxing on the River
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.

Awesome location in a beautiful place
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!

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.

Girls trip
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

Couldn't Have Been More Pleased
The Pocket City Penthouse looked like a winner when we were hunting out a special place to stay for our anniversary -- and it turns out it was the jackpot! Truly, everything was perfect, from the beautifully appointed apartment and cook's kitchen, to the amazing views -- to the town of McGregor, itself. We loved the little stores and restaurants nearby (those that were open so early in the season), and the surroundings were perfect, the trains, the riverboats, and the green hills with Pikes Peak just up the road for hiking. The proprietor was especially helpful and communicated with us exceptionally. We're looking forward to coming back. Maybe we'll see what McGregor looks like in all the season through the penthouse's big picture windows!
