In Central Texas for a big family wedding and The Roost was perfect for my wife & I, two children and in-laws. Home was built in 1883 and is in amazing shape. The gated parking was ample, the grounds were well maintained, beds & sitting areas were very comfortable, the WiFi did not let us down and the kitchen & bathrooms met our needs nicely. The property host was responsive & kind, and we look forward to our next stay at The Roost.
From the owner: "Thanks for the 5-star rating and kind words. We loved restoring this old home into a historic but modern gem. We are so glad you all enjoyed it."
Relaxing, Quiet, Beautiful, Step back in time with modern convenience. Would stay again next time we get that way.

The Roost was absolutely a wonderful place to stay. The peace and quiet we experienced here exceeded our expectations. The views off the back porch were breathtaking as we sat on the rocking chairs sipping our coffee. I wish we could have stayed longer but will definitely be back!
Words cannot express how much I enjoyed my stay. I had planned to do a lot of work, but this place just did not allow me. It was exactly what I needed.
