Cute retro house
The house was just like the pictures and had everything we needed. We had all age ranges and the house worked for everyone. The ping pong table and kayaks were a great bonus that we really enjoyed.

Terrible not as advertised
The kayaks all had holes. I had to unload dishes and laundry that were not mine. There was glass on the floor from a broken window that did not get cleaned up right. The dock has no electricity running to it. The dock is no where near the water. Its not a private cove as advertised. The owner did nothing to make our stay the way it should have been. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. WILL NOT BE RETURNING.

Just to Relax
Our stay was very relaxing. We are sad the water line is down 20 feet. But that is just the way it is sometimes. We had everything we needed at the house, kayaks, table tennis, plates, utensils, towels etc. You only need to bring clothes and food. Easy to get to. Very quiet neighborhood tucked away from the world. If you are looking for a fun place with lots to do if you want to... or just to sit around and do NOTHING... this is a great economical place. Our property owner was very quick to answer questions, make suggestions, and take care of anything we needed. Very happy with the overall experience, and will do it again soon.

Anniversary Family retreat
We had a very good time at Ruthies getaway. The family cooking and serenity of the area was very enjoyable. The house layout for the family was good, fully supplied utensils. Plentiful supply of towels, paper products The only negative is the listing does not say the boat dock was out of water due to low water level or that the lake was low. We had no idea. We adapted. Other than that, the time was fantastic.

This place was even better than pictures. It's on a private cove with no boats coming through, the beachy walk-in was great for the kids and the water was so clear. The house was stocked with anything you would need! We are already planning to book here again for next year.

This was a great little get away from the big city. We were able to fish off the dock and catch some nice sized catfish. The boys kayaked all over the lake and had a great time. Look forward to coming back.

House was nice very clean and lots of room. Yard needs a lot of help. Trees need to be trimmed. You listed 2 bathrooms but one was so hot you could not use it. Screen doors need to be fixed the were all torn. The handle inside the front door kept falling off. We did enjoy our stay. The dock was awesome kids had fun fishing. Price was good as well.

This is just what our family needed after being stuck at home all summer due to the COVID 19 scare. Had a blast playing in the lake. The house is nice and clean and very welcoming. It was nice to be able to have our dog with us. Would deffentily recommend this place. Its is out in the middle of the countryside which makes it perfect for us. Very clean inside. No spiders.
