What a perfect place to stay for our Book Club. We enjoyed meeting Kris when she opened her boutique ( a few steps away from her Vrbo) and we saw all the local Iowa products as well as fun boutique items to buy. The house was perfect with the four bedrooms and two baths and its fun decor. We enjoyed playing cards on the spacious dining room table and watching the FIFA games. The country location allowed us to relax, however is was close to West Des Moines, Winterset and other smalll towns we wanted to visit. We all agreed that we would highly recommend staying at The Roost.

Kris was a very welcoming host. The house was clean and fully decorated. The kitchen had lots of cooking supplies, which was good for fixing Thanksgiving dinner. Lovely views and homey comfortable environment.

The house is perfect for a quiet remote get away. The accommodations are very clean and have everything that you can think of. The large master bedroom is at the opposite end of the house off by itself. Very quiet

We were in the area for a wedding and spent two nights at the Roost. It had everything we needed, was clean and the shower and tub in the master bath were wonderful! We enjoyed coffee on the deck and also on the front porch. The fireflies in the evening seen from the deck were amazing as well as various deer!
