Stayed Oct 9, 2025My family and I had a wonderful stay at Ruby's Retreat. The home was perfect for us and we appreciated the well stocked kitchen. Heidi was quick with a response if we had a question and check in/out was very easy. I would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to come back again!

Stayed Oct 3, 2025Heidi was very accommodating and flexible. This home was ideal for all of us - a one year old, our dog, Charlie, and 5 adults. It’s beautifully furnished and included baby needs such as a packnplay, as well as fun dog toys. We appreciated the well supplied kitchen for cooking. We loved the large outdoor deck with lots of seating options. We didn’t want to leave.

Stayed Aug 2, 2025Everything we needed was here. My family of five (and our dog) loved this little house. AC was excellent, proximity to the beach was outstanding. Smart tv/wifi was a good thing to have for the younger adults too. Enjoyed the back deck, fire pit, and the nice walk up Tower Hill Road to Brownton. We would definitely return to Ruby's place if the spot is available!

Stayed Jul 20, 2025Ruby'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.

Stayed Oct 18, 2024The 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.

Stayed Sep 6, 2024I 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!

Stayed Jul 14, 2024We 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!

Stayed Jun 1, 2024My 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!
