Why they chose this property
At one point we called 'Ruby's Retreat' home for several years. Once we moved away from the area, we had to share the location and allow others to experience this quiet corner of old town.
What makes this property unique
Most of Grand Haven can be quite busy in the summer months. Ruby's Retreat is a perfect little corner that keeps you away from the busy downtown area, but is still close enough to walk anywhere you'd like.
