Bryan and Lori Roos had built a family retreat in Spirit Lake and as much as they loved the home as their children’s young families grew they needed a location closer to all that would allow ease of getting together. They found a 1950’s cabin that became the bones for the new retreat

Eight great reasons to build a retreat
Bryan & Lori’s Testimonial
“Our retreat is the third project that we asked for Brian’s help. As hard as it was to give up our beautiful home in Spirit Lake we trusted Brian’s skill to capture the best of the Iowa retreat and accommodate space for our 3 children and eight grandchildren. The final result is beautiful and functions well for our large family celebrations.”

A New Kitchen
Two walls were taken down to open the kitchen to both the family room and the new entry
