Stayed Feb 13, 2026Beautiful house that served our ski trip with 21 people extremely well. Everything was exactly as described, very roomy kitchen and bathrooms, and the location was great for getting to Beech Mountain. Can’t wait to come stay again!

Stayed Sep 12, 2025This was our 2nd stay at Ruskamp and it did not disappoint. We had a group of 9 this time. Plenty of room for everyone in a beautiful location. Christie is always responsive and the house is very clean. We will definitely be back. Thanks for another great family trip!

Stayed Sep 20, 2024Our group of 8 just stayed at Ruskamp and had an amazing time! The house is gorgeous and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. Christie was great to deal with and was very responsive to all my messages. We had such a great time that we've already booked again for next year. Highly recommend this property and the owners!

Stayed Feb 16, 2024Despite the listing and pictures both showing a hot tub. This property didn’t actually have one. We were traveling with five teenagers and six adults, all of which anticipated sitting in a hot tub outside after skiing. It was very disappointing. Other than that everything as shown in the description was accurate. I was very surprised to find VRBO doesn’t offer assistance with an inaccurate listing.

Stayed Jan 25, 2024This home was everything we could have ask for--it was beautiful inside and out. The house supplied everything we could ever need. We had 20 people total in our group (8 adults and 12 children) and there was plenty of space for everyone. Christie was very communicative and answered any questions we had before our arrival. We will definitely book from this owner again. The house was close enough to all the fun activities we had planned-- snow tubing, caverns, shopping, & wilderness coaster. We had such an amazing Framily (friends = family) Vacation! Thank you for helping us make memories.

Stayed Jan 19, 2024Our troop stayed here during our annual ski trip. The house was awesome, very well stocked with everything we needed, and had plenty of room for our troop. The host was amazing and very helpful with all our questions. The location was perfect, especially with the cold, snowy weather during our arrival and stay.

Stayed Aug 31, 2023This is a nice place to stay with plenty of thi n s to do in the area. The listing however had some issues. The media room downstairs was useless since the tv did not work at all despite asking for help. The pool table was in very poor shape as well. Everything else was good. My only complaint beside the useless media room was that the welcome book and listing did not align and we received a fee for having a pet one night even though the welcome book said pets were welcome. This error was admitted by the owner but still did not refund our fee. When businesses make mistakes, it should be at their cost, not the customers.
