This is a super nice place it actually gave me ideas on upgrades to my place back home. Your just two streets from Main Street McGregor so you can walk there. The backyard and deck are relaxing to hangout on. If you looking for a place to stay in the area I highly recommend this place it's really nice they do a great job.

Lovely stay in McGregor
We were meeting friends near McGregor and this was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay. It was one of the few places that allowed pets and also had a fence area for him to run around. The rental was really well kept and everything was perfectly clean. The king bed was also really comfortable. Thanks so much for the great place to stay!

The home was very comfortable as a base point of exploration. Even on the rainy day the home was cozy enough for lounging inside. We saw deer next to the home. Its wonderful to find a location that accommodates us having a dog.

A weekend in McGregor IA to attend a family funeral. Our hosts were amazing from the time we booked till we left to check in w/us on our accommodations. The property is a beautiful home w/ all new amenities plus dog friendly. We had access to a full backyard for our dog plus able to grill out & sit on a private balcony to enjoy meals & overlook downtown McGregor! We highly recommend this property. Super clean & has everything you need to feel like you are @ home. Thank you to our hosts. A true gem

On the view your rental page where I was supposed to get the address and how to check in, it would not open anything up so we could find out the info we needed. Since I grew up in McGregor, I was familiar as to where the property was just from the map you had. There was no address on any of the forms

Awesome Place to Stay in McGregor!
The vrbo House on the Hill was fabulous! All was wonderful and just as pictured and described! The town of McGregor, Iowa was like we had walked into a Hallmark Movie! The town was a picturesque river town! We will return! I recommend this vrbo!

Weekend getaway
We stayed at the House on the Hill instead of getting a hotel room-- totally worth it! It's within walking distance of downtown McGregor and a short drive across the river to Prairie Du Chien. I come down every year for the Great River Road Road Race that takes place at Pikes Peak State Park (bonus, the park is only 3 miles away from the house). The property was clean and inviting. We look forward to coming back down next year!

A great getaway
We enjoyed our stay very much. For the most part it was quiet, with the exception of the occasional train being heard off in the distance. Loved the view from the patio. The house will be great to see once it's finished, the finished parts were great. We would love to come back again sometime. It was a great getaway from Des Moines.

Great location and very clean. The only downfall was that the Hwy was closed so a lot of the local businesses did not have normal hours of operation. But no fault of the property owner.

Damn, this place is SUPER CLEAN!
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a cleaner place. This place was freaking spotless! And that says a lot cause I’m a clean freak. Also loved that both bathrooms had built in personal heaters so you can make them extra toasty and warm. And the firepit out back was perfect for our fall stay. The place had just about everything we needed but we did notice it didn’t have a hairdryer or a full length mirror. Nothing major but just some comfort things. Also thers no oven but the microwave worked just fine. Ther were plenty of towels, extra blankets and even shampoo and conditioner. And if you forget anything the gas station (5 min walk away) has personal care items, some groceries and fire wood. The train is very close and blows its horn at night but it only lasts for like a minute. I wore my earplugs and don’t hear a thing while sleeping. Overall one of the best places I’ve stayed at and would definitely stay here again!
