Spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath pet-friendly vacation home in McGregor, Iowa, sleeps up to 12.  Near Pikes Peak state Park, Effigy Mounds and the Mississippi River, Driftless Destinations gives families and friends plenty of room to gather, play and unwind.

Whether you're planning a peaceful couples getaway, a weekend with the kids, a trip with friends, or a multigenerational family vacation, Driftless Destinations offers the space and comforts to make your stay memorable.

We created Driftless Destinations because we wanted to share a place where people could truly slow down and enjoy being together.

There's a feeling I wish I could bottle up—that moment when you arrive somewhere, set down your bags, and feel your shoulders finally relax. That's what Bryan and I hope you'll experience here.

We've put our hearts into the little details because welcoming people into our home means something to us. Whether you're here with family, friends, or your four-legged companions, we want you to feel comfortable, cared for, and completely at home.

There’s plenty of room for everyone — whether you’re gathering around the table, challenging each other in the game room, relaxing on the deck or covered patio, or ending the evening around the fire. And because we know pets are part of the family too, we’ve made sure your four-legged travelers feel welcome here.

Smart TVs throughout the home and wireless internet make it easy to relax and access your favorite streaming services.

Just outside the door, the Driftless is waiting. Spend the day hiking the bluffs, fishing or boating on the Mississippi, exploring McGregor and nearby river towns, or simply stay put and watch the deer and birds wander through the woods.

We want Driftless Destinations to feel less like a place you rented and more like a place you’re already planning to come back to.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Driftless Destinations was outstanding for our stay with 5 adult high school friends. The owners had great communication to let us know about the house and where to find things. The welcome basket was much appreciated with snacks for our stay. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and furniture was very nice in each room. The game room and game cabinet fun with extra thought towards younger guests. We appreciated how welcoming the home was for our dog as well. We hiked in Pikes Peak Park, shopped in McGregor, and had a meal in Prairie Du Chien. The home is close enough to downtown you could walk home if needed if you can walk up hill. We highly recommend this VRBO for any age.
