I had a great spot along a babbling brook that helped put me to sleep and gently woke me up in the morning. As I walked around almost everyone said help to me and were openly friendly as we chatted. There shower and bath facilities were clean and modern, even the smaller building on the far end was a toilet and not a hole in the ground. they were clean and did not smell at all, I don't even think I saw any bugs in any of them. There was wood on site for purchasing and i think I saw a pop machine but I am not sure, also there was no snack shop but that was not a concern for me. I would recommend this place to anyone and I plan on going back, the sooner the better!

They each have a bedroom with a queen sized bed and a loft with smaller beds and a pullout couch. The cabins also have electricity! There is a community bathroom with running water and flush toilets, and the campground offers live music and events on the weekends. Plus this spot is located close to the Grant River, which makes for a great day of river floating! We will definitely be back next year.

This house is old and full of history--it's cool! Donna is great and accommodating. Two things to note: The Stauer bedroom and Rummage room do each have their own private bathroom, but they are not attached to the room. You had to walk down the hall. The other two rooms (I forget their names: Maids room and something else) did have attached bathrooms. There are also no keys to lock your door (but a lock from the inside to sleep at night). We felt okay leaving our backpacks in the room, and everyone respected each other's privacy.

We had never been to McGregor, and wanted to hike around Effigy national monument and Pikes Peak. The Strauer House was a perfect launching point for these parks--only a 15-20 min drive away. The House is a comfortable walk from town (few blocks) and an easy drive from Marquette and Prairie Du Chen. AND our hostess was very friendly, helpful, and made a mean breakfast! (With such big beautiful breakfasts, we only really ate two meals-- breakfast and dinner --while under her roof!) The other travelers that came through while we stayed here were all very friendly and polite. Like other b&b's, the caretaker and family are on premises. But there's more than enough space to feel off on your own in this large home!

Unfortunately we were there when it was a buffet and didn't get to do the menu. It was still absolutely delicious and delightful though! The chicken was to die for. So tender, fell right off the bone. Taste was unreal. Pie was equally incredible. Now, this part is weird as I don't usually take photos of the bathroom, however, you can see from my photos that this place was spotless and super unique! Honestly, worth a stop just for the super clean, quirky bathrooms. Manager/staff was incredibly friendly and fast. They kept checking on us and made sure we didn't feel overlooked.

As such, you have the choice of very expensive B&Bs or this little gem. It is located just as you come into town, on highway 52. It is straight out of the 1940s, with its welcoming patch of petunias, log cabin exterior on the office and chairs outside each room's door, but that is only its exterior and it adds to it charm. The hostess and owner of the hotel, Patty, checks you in with an actual key, not plastic card. My room was a queen bed room that faced the street. I don't know what type of windows she has, but I never heard street noise. The bed is very comfortable with MyPillow pillows, so making them comfortable was a snap. There is a nice sized fridge for yogurt or beer and a clean microwave for warming things. There is also a coffee maker for a morning jolt. The bathroom is small and the location of the a/c unit for the room. The bathroom is completely new and very clean. She provides 4 towels, 3 hand towels and 2 wash cloths as well as shampoo, soap and conditioner. There is a nicely scented air-freshener in there as well. I was happy there was a wall mounted, flat screen TV to relax with as well as a nice table and chair if you wanted to do some writing. The WiFi is strong and reliable. There is not an actual closet, but there is a rod over the fridge where you can hang things. That is also where an extra pillow and blanket can be found. There is a lovely patio/deck at the back of the motel for guest's use. There is a firepit and BBQ grill if you are so inclined or just want to have a glass of wine and relax. The motel is within walking distance of the local Casey's and the Stadium Bar and Grill is right next door. If you are feeling like a good stretch of the legs, the downtown riverwalk is less than half a mile away and the roads are quite safe to walk. I would love to see the colors of the hillside, across the road from it, shows off in the Fall!
