Hickory Ridge Bed Breakfast - McGregor, Iowa

The host was fantastic, and the accommodation had a cozy, welcoming vibe. Breakfast the next morning was a standout—especially the bacon! The views were breathtaking, with the morning fog rolling over the majestic fall colors. Sipping my coffee out on the deck in that peaceful setting was the perfect start to the day. The price was surprisingly reasonable for the quality. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m ever in the area.

We are in love with this place, super cozy!! Beautiful view, and I love their Christmas all-year decoration. They have the best breakfast ever, and she goes above and beyond to make you feel like home... It's our 3rd time there and it is always a pleasant stay!

Hickory Ridge was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The building is located in the country, and is situated with an amazing view of the Mississippi River. You'll need to drive for meals you aren't bringing with you, as there is not much nearby.

The walls are sturdy, and all the wood is gorgeous. Be prepared for rustic, country decor throughout the house. (Proprietor Denise seems to be a collector.) The bed was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious: hot eggs, French toast, sausage, and bacon. My husband said it was the best bacon he'd ever tasted.

There is room to move about in the upstairs loft, and if you get the lower suite, you've got a lot of room. Denise allowed us to upgrade to the empty Upper Loft room, and it was just what we needed.

A bit informal on the reservation system, but on the whole we had a great experience.

We have stayed there 2 times, in the lower suite.We love it there, so peaceful and relaxing. We enjoy being able to sit outside and look down at the river and enjoy a glass of wine or beer. Denise is very accommodating and the breakfast is definitely worth getting out of bed for. Will absolutely go back again.

Stayed one night in the upstairs loft room with two beds. Nothing overly fancy, but the bed was comfy and large with a tv. The only issue for perfect sleeping was the room was a bit warm, and the portable air conditioner made noises all night. The bathroom was nicely appointed, but there was no soap or shampoo provided. I had brought some hotel samples so it worked out, but the only thing in abundance was towels. I am sure the owner would have provided some if I had asked, but I didn't feel the need. The room was very clean and spacious, very quiet. We had a good home-cooked breakfast the next morning with a nice family downstairs (french toast and bacon). The owner was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay. The location was easy to find and the views were spectacular near the water and the park.

We visit the Mississippi River each fall and chose this area for our adventure last year. We staying across the river near Wyalusing, WI for a couple of nights and then stumbled across this bed and breakfast on our way to Pikes Peak State Park. We stayed in the lower level suite. The view from the patio just outside the room is awesome. Luckily we saw it when we stopped in to rent a room because there was heavy fog in the morning. We ate at the Mexican restaurant in McGregor before heading in for the night. We used the stove in the living space and watched a movie. It was so quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. Then the breakfast the Denise made us was out of this world. We definitely did not leave hungry. Denise is a good cook and made more than enough for all of the guests.

We stayed at this B&B on a recent weekend getaway. We stayed in the lower level suite, which was very spacious (for a family of 3), comfortable, and quaintly decorated. Our room had a walkout patio with a fireplace (unfortunately, it was raining while we stayed) and we had an unobstructed view of the Mississippi. This B&B is located a few miles south of McGregor, just a few minutes to the antique shops and restaurants, but in a quite rural setting. The hosts were both very friendly and helpful. Did someone say breakfast? With so many options, it was impossible to go away hungry-- we didn't need to eat again until suppertime!

Our family of five stayed upstairs. This was our first b&b, and we all loved our 2 night stay. The country atmosphere, river views from the balcony, and delicious food from Denise were all wonderful. We would highly recommend Hickory Ridge and hope to stay there again.
