Such a great stay!
I was blown away by everything about The Roost. The hosts thought of everything - this home has everything you could need to enjoy a comfortable stay. Communication with Kris was wonderful, and the country location was so quiet and relaxing (especially on New Year's Eve - my friends were all complaining about fireworks back in the city, and we had total peace and quiet). My family and I hope to return in the spring, when it's warmer and we can get the kids outside more. Thank you, Kris, for such a lovely holiday trip!

Fun at the Farm
We had such a great stay at The Roost! Kris made us feel welcomed and was easy to communicate with. Her shop next door is adorable and had some great finds. The house had everything we needed from towels to coffee in the kitchen. The location is convenient to Winterset, the Cidery and Winery. It was a great girls weekend away!

We had a fabulous time on our sisters trip to Winterset. The Roost was so comfortable, clean, and accommodating. The beds were very comfortable. Kris delivered, homemade bread and provided fresh eggs.
