Welcome to the Robert’s Roost,
Here is a short history of the Robert’s Roost:
Built in 1938 this house was originally erected to be a large chicken coop. The house next door to the East (where your lovely Airbnb host’s live ;) was the main farmhouse. The original owner of these two properties was known city wide for their chickens. The city nicknamed him “The Chicken Man”. You would pull up to the coop and pick your chicken. From there “The Chicken Man” would chop, pluck, and bag your chicken for you and send you on your way!
While renovating the Robert’s Roost in 2017, we found a message in bottle from the original owners and builders of this dwelling. We framed the message and it can be found by the front door of the house.
We are so happy that you chose our spot and hope you enjoy and appreciate the history. We hope you have a relaxing stay and can embrace the small farmhouse feel, while still having the convenience of the city around you.
