Ruth's Home offers exceptional comfort, and Ruth herself excels as a host! The spaciousness of the house, abundant towels, kitchen essentials, and the awe-inspiring view of Lake Mitchell make for an unforgettable experience. I'll undoubtedly return! Lacey
What a delightful escape! The entire place surpassed the beauty depicted in the pictures. Every corner exuded immaculateness and Christmas charm, down to the minutest detail in each room. We savored moments by the fire in the elegant yet snug living room, relishing the lake's serene melody from the balconies. (The assortment of board games and art supplies delighted my children!). The enchanting library in one of the children's rooms, stocked with captivating books for all ages, stole our hearts. All essential cooking amenities were at our disposal, and the beds offered heavenly comfort. Waking up to the picturesque lake view from the master bedroom was a delightful surprise. The property's proximity to Caberfae Peaks (only 20 minutes away) and The Timbers, a charming restaurant just 8 minutes distant, added to its allure. Furthermore, the host's kindness, attentiveness, and warmth were exceptional. In sum, it was an unforgettable sojourn, and we eagerly anticipate returning! Bernice
