    Our stay at the Lamp Post Inn was most pleasant. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in the beautiful 100 year old house. The bed and room were really comfortable. Also the hostess was very pleasant and the breakfast was really delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us on our trip to Wisconsin. We would definately return next year on our summer trip.

    Lamp Post Inn is a wonderful place to stay and Macgregor, Iowa is lovely "pocket town". Our hosts were gracious and knew all about the history of this small town. Also, the food was great.

    Nothing fancy, just salt of the Earth hostess who treated us like her favorite children home for the weekend (fed us a breakfast of champions).

    First time in the area and unsure where to stay...we happened upon the Lampost Inn & Gallery and could not have found a better place to stay. Friendly innkeepers, a restful nights sleep in a very comfortable bed (schoolhouse room) and a great breakfast in the morning! We were surrounded by beautiful art work in this spectacular victorian home. We look forward to returning and recommend this B&B.

    My boyfriend and I stayed at the Lamp Post Inn and Gallery last week and it truly was the perfect time! We enjoyed everything about the B&B, especially the owners, Ramona and Dorrence. They were very warming, welcoming and entertaining. We would definitely suggest staying at the Lamp Post Inn and Gallery, they opened up their home and their hearts to us during our stay. Everything was perfect, couldn't ask for a better experience.
