Built in 1883 by Harvey P. Jones and George K. Foster, Roseman is 107 feet in length and sits in its original location. It was renovated in 1992 at a cost of $152,515. In Robert James Waller’s novel, The Bridges of Madison County, and the movie of the same name, Roseman is the bridge Robert Kincaid seeks when he stops at Francesca Johnson’s home for directions. It is also where Francesca leaves her note inviting him to dinner.

Also known as the “haunted” bridge, Roseman is where two sheriff’s posses trapped a county jail escapee in 1892. It is said the man rose up straight through the roof of the bridge, uttering a wild cry, and disappeared. He was never found, and it was decided that anyone capable of such a feat must be innocent.

"It was clean and affordable. Staff was nice. The only issue we had was someone had a dog that kept constantly barking for hours. We knew the hotel accepted pets so it’s not their fault. Just an FYI for anyone booking. It’s an older hotel as well, which is fine with us. We had a nice stay and would recommend this hotel. "

"This is our go to stay when we are in Indianola to see our kids. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that so e places have bit that is not our dialog. For the price it is great. Staff is always friendly, breakfast is good. Love the apples and coffee available all the time. Even though it is now the highway it is quite. The lobby is great for extended conversation too. "
