Very small and rustic but right on the lake, clean and affordable

I absolutely loved my stay at Ruby Rustic Retreat. If you’re looking for peace, quiet, and beautiful scenery, this is a wonderful place to unplug and relax. The view was stunning, and the atmosphere was calm and restful the entire time.There is no running water, but I knew that going in and honestly didn’t mind at all. It actually felt like a really nice step up from SUV camping while still giving that rustic outdoor experience. For me, it was the perfect balance of comfort and simplicity.The retreat was clean, cozy, and exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely stay again.

Very clean, cozy and peaceful. The host was very friendly and gave a very nice tour. The firewood provided was very thoughtful and unexpected but due to weather, we were not able to use it unfortunately.
