Loved the decor and vibe by of Ruby’s. It was ungodly hot so did not use the hot tub. We heard the trains and the track/car switching. It wasn’t TOO distracting. There was a bit of coffee that was burnt on the inside of coffee pot, so that hadn’t been cleaned. All in all we would give it 8 out of 10. Fun weekend!

Cute spot but be prepared for train noise

Girls trip. We enjoyed the place, decor is great and it was set up perfectly for the 4 of us. We had an issue with cleanliness and at first got an odd response but received a more appropriate response the next day. We slept fine (visited the wineries ) but the trains moving and connecting are definitely LOUD. We’d stay again but definitely not with kids.

Perfect Get-A-Way from St. Louis

Simple, cozy, eclectic, and private! Perfect for those looking for something that is not your typical hotel scene. Walking distance to Ste. Gen's historic district. If you are a fan of trains, then this is a perfect place to see, observer, and hear. The hot tub was perfect. Looking forward to a return trip during one of Ste. Genevieve's "events" weekend.

The Train House...

I should have read reviews more carefully because we were not prepared for trains running ALL Through the Night. The house is across from very active railroad tracks. We did not sleep. The house itself is cutely decorated and looks like the pictures. It could be cleaner. I saw dust and dead bugs. Also we found a prescription pill on the floor. Hazardous if a child would have found it! The host should definitely include a warning about the noise in the property description. Also we experienced some symptoms aligned with CO² while we were there. Perhaps a coincidence, perhaps not. We felt better after about 24 hours of being out of the house.

Lovely property

The house is adorable decorated! We loved the fire pit and hot tub! As you can see in other reviews, the train does come right by the house, multiple times a day. It did not really bother us though. The ambiance more than made up for the noise. We would stay again if in the area!

Rubys is a charming little cottage right on a very active railroad line ; we did not mind the trains — but anyone staying there should be prepared for loud nights ! Far more problematic is that they advertise sleep accommodations for six , including a Murphy bed in the living room , as downstairs bedroom , and a “loft” with 2 beds … the loft stairway is more like a ladder, with a tree branch for a railing . The upper area is not safe for children or seniors . We are seniors who thought to use the Murphy bed , which is locked shut with a padlock. When we inquired about the Murphy bed the host questioned why we needed it - there were only 2 of us . Is it proper to advertise something you cannot use? When we expressed our concerns we were questioned again about our lack of timely notification ; and their response took four hours . The host did offer to wake up her husband to come put the bed down , after 11 at night . Such a shame , and so unnecessary

Great house in Ste. Genevieve

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.

Whimsical and Eclectic

We appreciated the fun vibe this house gave- the imaginative decor is what drew us in to this property. Everything in the house was as expected from the pictures and descriptions online. As others have noted, you will hear the trains at night, and be cautious of the narrow steps to the loft. We enjoyed our weekend and stay here!

Bright, cheery & loud

VERY CLEAN, cute, perfect size for 1-4 people, if you don’t mind sharing space, which was perfect for us! Only downside was it’s right across from train tracks. Only heard them until about 9pm but they were really loud. Ate at Ruby’s sisters place Stella and Me, great food!
