We stayed in this home for over two weeks and found it had everything we needed. The location was great, and we especially enjoyed the spacious yard. Would happily return!
We absolutely loved staying here with our 2 young kids and dog. It was a beautiful home and so close to the beach, restaurants, wineries, and nature. We will definitely be back!
Rubyâs Retreat was perfect for our family of 6 plus our pug, Dutch! We loved our visit and hope to return next year!! The house was so clean and included everything we needed to make it our home away from home for 5 days!
Ruby's Retreat had great attention to detail in the house design. The ranch style home was spread out so it was comfortable and accommodating for a family. We went in July and the air conditioning was wonderful. The AC kept up with the very hot summer days. The area was nice and the house was located between New Buffalo and St Joe's. It was just a few minutes from Warren Dunes and close to many wineries/ breweries. The house is around it were nice as well, many newly renovated.The house offered a lot of details in regards to coffee and spices. The primary bedroom was beautiful as was the primary bathroom. Such a comfortable stay and would absolutely stay here again.Heidi was very communicative. The check-in process was easy and efficient.
The home was absolutely perfect for our little family. We traveled with our 3yr old daughter and elderly dog for a fall getaway to Michigan. The hosts were so accommodating to our questions and requests . The property is beautifully maintained and clean. Five star experience from start to finish.
This house is a hidden gem in Sawyer, Michigan. It has all a family would need for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were roomy, the bathrooms modern and the kitchen bright and big. The owners were helpful and easy to get in contact with as needed. Would stay here again!
I was visiting Sawyer for some much-needed private time and the spot was absolutely perfect.
Right away, I wondered if the hosts were architects (which they are!) because of the open/clean, understated, yet crafty-modern feel of the place.
I was extremely comfortable the entire entire time and it is exactly what I needed.
I would absolutely return again!
Great base and home to come back to as we joined a larger group of family staying at a nearby house. Had everything we needed. Heidi was very responsive to my emails/ questions. Highly recommend!
Enjoyed our stay and the house was exactly as pictured. Really charming property. Tastefully decorated with pops of color. Not far from beautiful beach. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
The pictures and descriptions were very accurate, the place was arranged and appointed. The ease of communication and use of the home was excellent. The place is located in a quiet street with quick access to the expressway and less than a mile from Warren Dunes State Park. Highly recommend.
A quiet neighborhood, well located to local attractions & things to do. The house is charming & quite comfortable. It has all the amenities; ac, deck, grill & firepit. Albert & Heidi give a list of things to do in the area & are helpful hosts.
We had a wonderful stay at this Michigan home. It was spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully decorated. During our second night, a major storm knocked out power; the owners were in touch with us immediately, telling us where to find flashlights and lanterns, and keeping us updated on the progress of getting power restored.
The house is conveniently located next to Warren Dunes and a short drive to many restaurants, breweries, etc. We absolutely loved this peaceful retreat and will not hesitate to go back!
My husband and had an amazing time staying at Ruby's Retreat! The house is thoughtfully decorated with all the amenities you will need. We loved the midcentury modern feel and the beds were very comfortable. The yard is perfect for games or s'more's with the fire pit. We even had a few special guests, deer every day and a family of turkeys. Super close to the downtown area as well as a couple of hiking trails and access to the beach. We will be back next year!
This cottage was a real hidden gem. The house was beautifully decorated and clean as a whistle. One of the best places we have stayed at in the area. The fall colors were at peak during our trip and my family had an amazing weekend. The location was close to the Dunes and many great restaurants. Loved that we could bring our dog with us. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend and love to come back!
Love love love this place. Everything is very well thought out. The rooms are spacious and has everything u need. The house was equipped better than anywhere Iâve ever stayed and if u have any questions, they get back with u quickly. Enjoyed lounging in the living room on evening with my besties and making memories. Very warm and inviting. Walked the area in the mornings and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the house. Itâs off the beaten path, but near everything. We had a few beach days of boat day in St Joe, and lots of exploring.
The host had so many things for us to do in the home we played board games, read a couple books, did some drawings with the pencils that they had there. We enjoyed the patio and walks around the neighborhood with our dog.
It was 4 of us, my husband, our 25 year old and our 13 year old.
We loved it!
The house was as advertised - updated and well equipped. The recent renovations were top notch.
The house is set in a quite area close to the dunes and local breweries and vineyards.
The checkin directions and the book in the house that explained how to use everything were very well done.
The house was clean and fresh. This is coming from two engineers and a neat freak.
The host was very responsive and pleasant. She checked in several times during the 11 days we were there.
Finally, our young yellow lab loved the house, yard and area.
We will be back!!!
We spent a week and had a great time! I love how convenient they made everything providing all the necessities. We enjoyed the cookouts and being able to eat outside as a family. We also were able to make smores! Highly recommend!
We loved our stay with our family this past week in Ruby's retreat! The home has everything and more. The home is beautifully decorated. We enjoyed evenings on the deck and bonfires at night. It's just a little under a mile to the beach. I would highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay at Rubyâs Retreat. Appreciated being able to bring our dog who also enjoyed her trip to the beach. We are a family of 5 and liked that each of our kids had their own bed.
We loved our stay at Rubyâs Retreat. Our family of five was very comfortable. We had a couple rainy days but weâre able to use the ownersâ suggestions to find plenty to do. We loved being able to run, walk or drive to the beach. The house had everything we needed, was very clean and had a great aesthetic. Would definitely recommend!
Hello! Thank you for choosing our home in Sawyer for your vacation. My husband and I bought the home in 2014 because we fell in love with Sawyer and the surrounding area during our first vacation together a few years prior. We are both architects who live and work in the Chicago area. We love to explore the local breweries, forest preserves, beaches and restaurants, and our dog Ruby loves it all too. She actually thinks we bought the house just for her! We now have two young children who also love the outdoors and going on adventures with us. Since 2014 we've been steadily making improvements to the house and we think you'll really enjoy the cozy interior, expansive deck and yard, bright kitchen and brand new master suite retreat. We hope you have a wonderful stay and are happy to share our home with you.
We fell in love with the location, yard, and stately row of pines at this house and saw lots of potential. The neighborhood is quiet with easy beach access and just a short walk to a beautiful nature preserve. We also often see a family of deer wandering the property and a wide variety of birds and hawks flying overhead.
