4th year in a row

We absolutely love the Rustic Ruby. My husband and son fish all day, while I sit and swing and read my book. It’s so peaceful and has everything that we need. We have made this our home away from home for four spring breaks in a row. We are ready to book for year five!

Beautiful!

We all absolutely loved our stay here! The property was private and clean and had every ammenity you could need! We did wish there was a little more seating as the living room and hot tub only sat 4 and we had a party of 5;however, the stay was completely amazing and we would most certainly return!!! Also, the hosts were extremely helpful and very fast to respond to any questions and concerns I had. Would definitely recommend this property.

Tranquil Setting with Fire Pit and Hot Tub

Our stay at The Rustic Ruby was peaceful. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub each evening, overlooking the pond. No loud noises. Deer dining in the yard at dusk. Ten minutes from the train ride in Blue Ridge. Plenty of dining options there, too.

5-stars

My family of 4 enjoyed a short getaway to the Rustic Ruby as part of our Christmas celebration this year. If you're considering booking this property, do it! The house is super clean, it is well-stocked and has pretty much anything you can think of that you might need. The location is good - just a few minutes away from all the attractions and action of Blueridge. It was cold when we were there, but we enjoyed fishing anyway. The house stayed warm and we left with some sweet memories. I can't think of a single drawback to this property.

New Year's Getaway at Rustic Ruby

Rustic Ruby was a comfy, cozy charmer close to shops & restaurants & a great variety of hiking near Blue Ridge. ( We missed out on the Swinging Bridge hike as the gravel road was too rutted even for our 4WD Subaru.) We enjoyed the swings by the firepit (we've learned to bring a fire starter log and some collected dryer lint whenever there's an out door fire area) and the completely private warm relaxation in the hot tub with the spectacular star display as night approached. The lovely fireplaces kept us toasty in the evenings, too. We just cooked breakfast at the cabin. Would recommend you bring everything you need even though there are grocery stores nearby. ( We didn't bring salt & pepper :-( The cabin was spotless with plenty of towels and kitchen dinnerware and cookware. We appreciated the hosts checking in with us to address any questions or concerns! We love the area in the summer & all the related activities: tubing, zip lines, fishing, more hiking...so hope to return with grandkids in tow. This was a truly wonderful get-away any time of the year! Thanks for sharing this wonderful slice of nature with us! Paul & Renee; Atlanta, Ga

Fall break family vacation

We found the property exactly as advertised. Entire family enjoyed the stay and are asking when we can return. We enjoyed the flexibility of being 10-15 minutes drive from choice of restaurants or tourist attractions, or just being able to stay and cook at cabin. Fire pit was a perfect evening habit that has caused us to resume the same habit once we returned home.

Wonderful place

This Ruby was absolutely beautiful! It was everything I expected and more ! We will be back to stay and we have already recommended to some of our friends! The only thing I would do would be put a topper on the back bed was a little hard but other than that was perfect ! Very clean and owners thought of everything to may your stay perfect !

Perfect getaway!

What a great little cabin. I brought my father for a weekend away. Everything was clean and accented perfectly. Plenty of supplies, from towels to kitchenware. It’s pretty remote but Blue Ridge village is not too far away. If you’re looking for a quiet peaceful escape, this is the place. We spent time sitting at the pond and it turned out we shared it with a turtle, a couple of deer, & a family of 5 geese. They do say in the description that the WiFi is slow. It rained the first 2 days of our stay so the tv signal was glitchy, but the internet worked pretty well. I definitely would book this place again. Thanks to Dustin & Jasmine for sharing this place with us.

We stayed three nights at the Rustic Ruby and enjoyed every minute of our stay!! Quiet and private location. We enjoyed the geese family and their daily antics, and saw three deer during our stay. The home itself is well decorated, and the hosts have been thorough with the details. The size was just what we needed, and we would highly recommend!! Love, love, love the Rustic Ruby!!

About the host

Hosted by Dustin Turner

We love to travel and experience new areas and adventures. We also have a few favorites that we like to revisit when possible. We self manage our vacation rentals and also cohost for other owners who need help managing their properties. We believe that vacation rentals are a customer service business and we work hard to ensure our guests have 5-star experiences!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with The Rustic Ruby because it is peaceful! You truly feel relaxed and away from it all. Plus, the Blue Ridge area is a wonderful place to explore. With so many adventures to be had nearby there is always something new to see or do. The scenery, hiking, horseback riding, and water sports are everywhere. You're never more than a few minutes away from an adventure. The food is great and their are many wineries and craft breweries to visit. The area is great for families and for couples looking to get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Privacy. Amenities to help you unwind. Fishing on a pond. The great thing about The Rustic Ruby is that you'll feel secluded and away from it all, but you're only minutes from great food and adventures!
