Amazing food staff and atmosphere. Love the nature of view. Saw an eagle and a great egret.

On 7/25/2025 Vicky Ballantyne had this to say:
It was great to finally be able to experience all of McGregor. The last couple of times weren't as great as this time due to a tornado and flooding but nobody in McGregor can control that. We love staying here because the rooms are rustic and comfortable and pretty much everything is within waking distance. We love to sit out on the balcony to relax after the drive to get there. It's super handy having a restaurant right down stairs.
