## Description

BackRoads Retreat is an event venue in Oskaloosa, Iowa, founded by owners Jason and Valerie Bandstra. Their vision was to transform a simple barn into a welcoming place for gatherings, combining rustic character with a scenic countryside setting. Overlooking a pond with a fountain, the venue offers wide-open views and spaces designed to bring people together for celebrations, retreats, and reunions. Guests can enjoy an intimate pond boardwalk, an outdoor fire ring, and a large covered patio. The patio connects to the indoor event space through two expansive glass garage doors, allowing indoor and outdoor areas to flow together. Inside, seating can accommodate up to 275 guests; the venue’s introductory information also describes capacity for up to 272. BackRoads Retreat offers event-space availability inquiries and tours for prospective guests. Located at 2321 Highland Avenue, the venue is listed as opening for availability in mid-2025. Its blend of indoor comfort and outdoor scenery makes it a distinctive setting for gatherings in the Oskaloosa area.
