Let "Rubies Rental" Be your Winter Escape

Enjoyed a girls trip, house was adorable. Close to historic downtown but far enough to have privacy. Response time from owner was great, will recommend to anyone considering.

This place has a great location, just a short drive or reasonable walk from the historic district. Lots of space and all the amenities you need. True that the train does pass by occasionally, but I think that gives the place character (and is not that great a distraction)! Great communication with owner. Keypad entry, which eliminates the need to keep up with keys.

Girls weekend...we had a beautiful time! House is so cute!!

Fun eclectic mix of furnishings and quiet setting. Just what my life and I needed before kicking back into our week!

The cottage was cute and more spacious than the square footage leads you to believe. I don't know that I'd recommend staying in the winter like we did, as the heating system design makes it difficult to keep the living room warm and the house is really drafty. If you intend to cook your own meals while staying here, there are limited supplies to do so, but we made it work. Our host was extremely responsive - she provided a vaporizer to help with dryness due to the constant running of the heater in below-freezing weather. She also provided a noise machine to help mask the train noises. The first couple of nights were rough while we got used to the sounds of the train traffic, but we got used to it over the 3 weeks we stayed. The trains blow their whistles because there is an uncontrolled crossing about 100 yards from the house. There is also a railroad switch yard about 1/4 mile from the house and they do switching in the middle of the night - one night they kept us up between 12am and 3am with the locomotive constantly moving back and forth in front of the house and blowing the whistle to signal the yard every time it changed directions. Luckily, this only happened once!
