We have the Verizon cellular hotspot at the lake.  Not a portable cell phone hotspot, but the one that is plugged up all the time so I can get enough signal on the property to run a few cameras and control the thermostat from home.  It also provides phone service if you plug up a landline phone.  The kids blow through enough data during the summer to make it hit the limit (I think it is 20GB) so that it throttles the speed so I never attempted the Roku.  However, the Verizon website has a current plan for $60 per phone x 4 phones that allows 75GB before it throttles.  Netflix claims it takes 3GB per hour for HD video.  So for an upgrade and more cash per month, I think we could bring the Roku to the lake, as long as we don't try to run it all the time.  Should give us the option to watch a few movies and ballgames not available on antenna.
