    A trip though McGregor

    December 12, 2012

    This was not the ideal time to visit McGregor as some of the businesses were closed for a shorter season. Our innkeeper was very nice and the stay was comfortable. This is a very good value also. I would stay here again if I'm every in McGregor overnight.

    Great place

    October 26, 2011

    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.

    Cozy Art Gallery

    July 12, 2011

    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).
