Stauer House B & B

Best B&B breakfast we ever had. Very friendly hostess. She has found her calling. Makes you feel like one of the family. On a busy truck highway but we weren't bothered by it. Only drawback: no lock on the door. However, I suspect it is in an area where people might not lock their doors.

The Stauer House is a beautiful B&B. Exquisitely furnished! The breakfasts were good, but I've never been to a B&B where they served leftovers for breakfast. It was noisy there, too. I understand the family lives there, but we felt like we were intruding. My only major complaint was that the bed wasn't made or the bed wasn't turned down when we returned from our dinner out. We've stayed at numerous B&B's in the last couple of years, and this was probably one of the most disappointing ones. Keep the noise down and make the beds! However, we will recommend this B&B to our friends and family. The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful.

Having never been to a B&B I didn't know what to expect, although my wife did. Donna was a gracious and knowledgeable hostess. And what a breakfast. The first morning there was a broccoli and cheese breakfast casserole, bacon, granola with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit with raspberries and blueberries (where do you get fresh raspberries in November?), homemade coffee cake, choice of 25+ teas, coffee, orange juice. Second day was similar but with blueberry pancakes, sausage links, and different casserole. She has information about the house's history and did I say a terrific hostess? Her husband and daughter were a delight as well. I would give them six stars if it was available.

This was our first time at a Bed and Breakfast and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

We had a delightful stay of two nights at Stauer House. The home was quaint, tidy welcoming with lighting and scented candles, and a superb hostess. The breakfasts were delicious and offered a variety of items to choose from that would meet anyone's wishes. The hostess even accommodated our dietary needs. We would definitely return here.

had a Great time At the Stauer House and the town Of Mcgregor, IA

The Breakfast was Outstanding. The owner was very friendly. A truly great value. Donna, the owner was a great help with local parks and restaurants.

Had a wonderful stay at the Stauer House B & B. Inn keepers were very friendly and felt right at home. Breakfast was wonderful!

Very friendly and hospitable B&B. The breakfasts were excellent with plenty of selections and food to eat. I would recommend this B&B to anyone staying in the area. Be sure to check out Pike's Peak while you are there.

Rooms were very clean, breakfast was outstanding. Innkeeper is exceptional.

This B & B is a great value, in the midst of fun and scenic places to visit. Great weekend hideaway.

This was a wonderful find for us. We will certainly return. The hosts were terrific and the rooms very comfortable. The location is fantastic - close to Pike's Peak and Effigy Mounds. A short walk through the quaint town of McGregor to a nice variety of shops and restaurants.

This is a excellent place to stay The room was great, service was outstanding, Donna is a wonderful person. we will go back

We stayed three nights----enjoyed seeing photos of all they had done to restore this 19th century home, and most thoroughly delighted in the plenteous and tasty breakfasts each and every morning. We would highly recommend the Stauer House to friends looking for a place to stay in this area.

My husband and I stayed one night on our way to visit our daughter in Waconia, MN. We stayed in the Stauer room which was lovely, a little more on the masculine side, which my husband appreciated. It still was full of antiques and those little touches that make a room special. We enjoyed the swing on the front porch, the night air, and the quaintness of the area. The brunch in the morning was delicious and a lot of thought went into making it special. We loved Donna, the innkeeper. She was friendly, but not imposing. Overall our favorite B&B so far!

We had a pleasant stay here. A very beautiful old home that has been lovingly restored. Donna serves an incredible breakfast--you won't even think about food until around 2PM!

stauer b&b is wonderful ! it was so homey and the innkeeper is so sweet and a great cook . breakfast was fabulous!

Can't say enough good about The Stauer House, Donna (the hostess), an the town of McGregor. Anna and I had a lovely time and Donna was gracious as ever with lots of information about the town, directions around the area, and suggestions about where to visit, what to see/avoid, etc. Loved the room we had and the entire home is absolutely beautiful. And Donna, next time I may just be a customer in your salon! Thanks again :) -Kelly Still

Had a great time, food was great and rooms were clean. Enjoyed our stay very much.

we got there before 4 pm .we were welcomed in warmly,told we could explore the house and to make our selfs at home. we had the ramage room which is a 2 room suite-was clean bright and comfortable. bed was nice but a bit high for my short wife. soft but firm. bathroom was a few steps down the hall.very clean had all the things you needed, shower was nice. breakfast was very good. very tastey healthy food. over all was a very nice time and a great place to stay .donna was very nice would stay there again!!!

Can any one slow Donna down. Maintaining a B and B, hair salon and caring for her grandson and she still smiles. Everything clean, neat and quiet. Food was fantastic.

We like this B&B being because of it's location. Close to state parks, the Mississipi River, many tourist options, setting in a quaint lttile town with shops. Price reasonable. Donna is very nice and accomodating.

My wife and I were very happy with our stay at the Stauer House B&B. Donna was a wonderful and friendly host and we had everything we needed. Great rooms and for a great price too!

We really loved the Stauer House and the town of McGregor. We spent a wonderful weekend. The breakfasts were outstanding!

The owner was helpful in getting information on the local community and getting us settled. We enjoyed our stay

My wife and I had a comfy 19th century night and a beautifully prepared breakfast, made with our dietary needs in mind.

We had a wonderful stay at the Stauer House!! Our room was very quiet even with 4 other guests in the house. Our bed was comfortable and we had our own thermostat so the temp was perfect! The breakfast was one of the best we've had at a B&B! Great location - easy to find (even though McGregor isn't very big!). The innkeepers are super friendly and very knowledgable about the area. We will definitely stay here again!!

My wife and I stayed at the Stauer after the peak leaf color weekends but it was still very scenic. We had previously stayed at motels in the area and would highly recommend this B & B over them. The room prices are comparable with motels but the atmosphere and food was much better. Donna the hostess is busy but makes you feel literally at home since they open up their home to whatever you need; movies, snacks, fridge use, whatever, it's no problem. Her husband Robert is a tug boat captain and has stories of the river if he's home. We could come and go whenever we chose and still felt secure in this quaint little river town. There isn't much to do if you are into night life but we aren't so we hiked each day at Pike's Peak and the Effigy mounds parks. Well worth the short drive to each for the great views of the Mississippi river valley. If you're fortunate like we were you'll also get to watch bald eagles in flight. All in all, a very nice, relaxing place to stay with great food and friendly hosts. Breakfast is served family style

Donna & Rob are hardworking people who take pride in all the work they have put into their home and business. It was a real pleasure to get to know them. We stayed in the Ramage Suite and enjoyed everything about it. The bed was extremely comfortable and surroundings were very quiet and peaceful. We appreciated the value and would certainly stay again!

We had a wonderful time at the Stauer House. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast was wonderful. Even our 2 daughters , aged 18 and 21 went with us and enjoyed their stay. Donna was a wonderful hostess. We will definitely be back.

We were at home right away, and our stay was a good time. We will come back to exporer the small town of McGregor. Donna is a real good cooker. We love our short time there.

Very nice B&B. Breakfast was healthy and not calorie-laden like a lot of B&Bs. Very nice owner and knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our overnight stay at the Stauerhouse and would recommend it to anyone who loves to be pampered. The room was in excellent condition and the breakfast meal was out of this world. We hope to come back soon on our next visit to the Great Mississippi River Road.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stauer House. Our room was clean and comfortable and the decor was delightful. Donna, our hostess, made sure that we felt very much at home. Breakfast was quite a feast! I would highly recommend this B & B to anyone.
