    An Amazing Place out in the Country! The Roost is extremely clean and well designed, fantastically decorated, and has every amenity you will need. Chock full of local information, guide books, movies etc. The location can't be beat as it is gorgeous and wildlife visited us quite often. It was great having the super friendly owners nearby if we needed them, but they provided us with as much privacy as we wanted. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and sunsets in this cozy area! Kris was so kind to come and open the store for us. This whole area is so friendly and welcoming! It was a great weekend with my sisters! Definitely would love to make a trip back to the area at some point!

    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!

    We had so much fun! Beds were amazing. So much fun detail in all the decor and comforts of home. Lots of wildlife to see and you can watch chickens out the back window. But they aren't loud enough to disturb you. It's very peaceful. Lots of opportunities to just enjoy the peace - inside or out. The owner is wonderful to work with, and very friendly.

    There were 8 adults who stayed at this house and the accommodations were perfect. The host made it know she was there if we needed her and was welcoming without being over bearing. We all enjoyed our stay!

    We loved our stay here. The house was cute, clean and inviting, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was also well-stocked, and the layout of the house with three kids was perfect as they each got their own rooms next to each other while my wife and I had the privacy of the large bedroom on the other side of the house. The location of the house is perfect if you want to get away from civilization for a bit while still being only 10 minutes away from Winterset, and the backyard views of the surrounding countryside were fabulous. Most of all, the host was spectacular. Not only was she a great communicator, but she was kind enough to put a dozen farm fresh eggs in the fridge for us on arrival, and she sent us a note during our stay warning us that inclement weather was coming. After checking out, we realized that we left a small but important item in the house, and she sent it to us in the mail free of charge (even though I wanted to pay her). Just a very kind person on top of being a great host. We would go back to Speckled Hen Farms in a heartbeat!
