Very cute cabin. Centrally located, owner was very helpful. We had a great time enjoying being near the water and watching the freighters go by. The back yard gas fire pit was very enjoyable as well

Disliked: Location
The cottage was nice, there wasn’t anywhere to sit outside once it rained tho. Also the owners are across the way and kept looking out their windows at us. I have children with me and didn’t appreciate that. Also it looks like you can sit by the water but when we tried, we had to walk through an area where the neighbors dog uses the restroom (so watch for turds) and once we got to where our “chairs” were a bunch of bird alarms kept going off. To the point we felt we were disrupting the people down the way. All around we felt very uncomfortable and almost like a nuisance. The neighbor lady was the only person actually nice to us. If you are coming here to stay around the cottage I’d maybe look for a place more welcoming!

These renters smoked or vaped pot in our cabin. Fortunately, the cabin was vacant for a few days, so we had time to air it out, wash the bedspreads and furniture covers. Their large dog peed on the carpet. We got to clean that up, as well. Yes. The outdoor furniture got wet when it rained. And we occasionally look out of our front door (package delivery, neighbors walking by). We apologize if they felt we were watching them. That was not our intention.

Perfect Getaway

We came to Barbeau for an outdoor getaway. Ruthie’s Cottage was the perfect spot for us, clean, comfy beds, cute decor and a gorgeous 2nd floor view of the St. Mary’s River. The hosts were easily accessible and super helpful. The cottage was well appointed and the kitchen was supplied with all you could want for preparing meals The birds serenaded us all day. It is a quick walk to Dunbar Park, a gorgeous boating and picnic area on the River, and close to Cozy Corners restaurant and the Neebish Island Ferry. This property has everything you could want. Thanks to our hosts for making our stay so fun and memorable.

The cutest cottage ever.

Ruthie’s Cottage is a lovely getaway. We had everything there that we could want. The host, Patty, was super accommodating of our last minute change in plans. It is so close to beautiful Dunbar Park and the Neebish Island Ferry. I highly recommend it for comfort, beautiful views of the St. Mary’s River and a great host!!

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. Our host was very accommodating and was quick with responding to questions. The place was clean and well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and she even had spare toiletries in case we forgot something. Our dog loved the yard space as well.
