About this property

The Roost Tiny Home -Cozy and Quiet 4 Season

Welcome to The Roost! An elegant cabin perfect for relaxing and recharging, just minutes from downtown Van Buren—one of the 11 charming villages in Van Buren County. Experience warm southern Iowa hospitality, with access to antiques, unique dining, golf, a community pool, two National Historic Districts, specialty shops, resident artisans, and nearby Amish and Mennonite communities. Outdoor adventures abound in state parks, lakes, forests, and wetlands, with a boat ramp only 500 yards away.

Relax on the deck, grill out, and take in the beautiful views of the Des Moines River. This outdoor space is perfect for playing, unwinding, and enjoying nature! Guests can fish, lounge at the swing gazebo with a fire pit, play outdoor games, or simply watch the sunset over the river.

This Army Veteran-owned one-room cabin features a Queen-size bed, a fold-out chair bed, and a cozy loft area for sleeping. Inside, you'll find a smart television, DVD player, free Wi-Fi, and an electric fireplace for those chilly evenings. The kitchenette includes essentials for a comfortable stay, such as a refrigerator, microwave, electric skillet, crock pot, coffee maker, and toaster.

The Roost is a unique spot that caters to outdoor enthusiasts while being close to amenities for those who enjoy exploring shops and local attractions.

Please note that The Roost is located in a private community along the river bottom, with neighbors approximately fifty yards to the right and left. We strive to respect everyone’s space, but be aware that some noise may occasionally come from surrounding neighbors. We also have dogs on the property that wear collars to help limit noise. Rest assured, privacy is always respected here.

Could be nice

We needed a quiet weekend away. This location looked like it would be perfect. It was beautiful and rural. However, the owners house is close and Friday evening they went downtown. Their dogs barked at every noise. Not peaceful. Saturday evening the owners had guests over to watch a game on an outdoor tv. Not peaceful. If those things were different my review would be different.

All we can say is Awesome!

Loved staying there from the time we stepped onto the property to when we left. Everything you need and did not know you needed is there. You can spend the whole weekend out in the yard. There is horse shoes, corn hole, benches by the river, swing chairs and hammock chairs around the fire. Movies for the dvd, pop corn, I can go on and on. The beds were very comfortable, nice kitchenette, roomy bathroom with shower. The peace and quiet is just what you need. We brought everything and after being there and saw what was there half of it ended back in the van before we got settled. We are thinking about coming back and even having a Mother, Daughter get away. We rented out the rv in two weeks we just can't wait!
