    Wish we had more time there. Was a great fit for 6 adults and 4 kids 4-11 and an 11 month old. Kitchen was big enough to cook although we only did breakfast. I like it when you go somewhere and there are some staples there. The kids enjoyed the net pillow swings outside and if we had been there longer we would have made a fire outside. Would be great to go back and enjoy the outdoors.

    We had a wonderful time. Tanya was so great. Easy to communicate with. We were so grateful to have our time here. Best place for our dogs. She even had sheets to cover furniture so that our fur babies felt at home being with us on the couch & bed. The view was beautiful!!! Had a wonderful time and it it so nice when the host is an wonderful as Tanya.

    My family enjoyed time at the fire pit swings. You could see the stars listen to the night sounds. Lovely. The back porch had a big dining table we all gathered around. Property was clean. Lots of amenities. The only 4 star i gave was on property description: there was not an office with a sofa bed. We will definitely stay here again.

    We have been coming to Sheffield Mine since 2005 and love staying in the Cowee Valley area. This is the first opportunity we have had to stay at Ruby Gem Cabin. It definitely checked all the boxes we look for when booking a vacation rental. King size bed, central a/c, WiFi, peaceful location. Tanya is an amazing host and her cabin is one of those places you hesitate to tell others just how good it is for fear it will be fully booked when you want to come back. Ruby was the best stocked cabin we have stayed in and even had a highchair for our grandbaby. I’ve already emailed to get details on the king mattress as we slept soundly through the night all week, something that doesn’t happen at home with our Tempur-Pedic. Tanya has a gift with interior design and Ruby reflects that. We will definitely return in the future.
