About this cabin rental
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.

My husband and I rented this tiny house for our anniversary weekend get away. It was absolutely perfect. The bed is very comfy, plenty of hot water, and super close to town to find food and anything else you need. The view is beautiful, we were able to fish right on the river in the back yard. There’s even a friendly cat who followed us around when we fished and enjoyed the patio with us. I named him Leaf because he ate about 5 of them over the weekend. The host is very nice and made sure our stay was perfect. There’s an area with swings, twinkle lights, and the wind chimes played what I can only describe as the type of zen music they play in a spa. Very relaxing and enjoyable. I will note that the ladder to get up inside the little loft bed is difficult for short people or children. There should be at least one more handle to make it to the top. If you’re short, you may fight the shower a bit but it’s doable. Over all, perfect place for a relaxing or romantic weekend away. We will probably make this our yearly spot.

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.
