Little Switzerland Inn

McGregor, Iowa.

Just across the street from the Little Switzerland Inn, Mississippi River tugboats slide past, as they have since 1862 when the Inn was built.

Bed and Breakfast Description

A unique collection of "residence suites," offers several options from a simple guest room to the rustic charm of Sadie's Log cabin (built in 1848), where guests can gather with family and friends around this working fireplace and get in touch with a simpler way of life, yet enjoy the luxury of a Jacuzzi for relaxing after their day.

Whether your stay is for a night or weeks, you’ll have everything you need to relax and enjoy your visit. All units are spacious, with all the comforts of home.

If you would like to travel with friends or family, and have both privacy and closeness, consider residence suites at the Little Switzerland Inn: they are one of a kind.

Area Attractions and Activities:

McGregor is steeped in significant history. Across the river and just a little south is the confluence of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers. It was here in 1673 that Marquette and Joliet first lay sight of the Mississippi. It was their exploration of the Mississippi that opened the valley for colonization. Pike's Peek State Park sits atop the bluffs on the south of town. Many think it is the single best view of the Mississippi river. Zebulon Pike (of Pike's Peak, Colorado fame) thought so when he passed through the area and lent his name to the overlook.

The river in McGregor is the Mississippi at its very best. Located in McGregor is an office and visitor's center for The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, smack dab in the middle of the refuge. Founded in 1924, the refuge is 261 miles long, extending from the confluence of the Mississippi and Chippewa rivers to Cordova, Illinois.
