I was visiting Sawyer for some much-needed private time and the spot was absolutely perfect.
Right away, I wondered if the hosts were architects (which they are!) because of the open/clean, understated, yet crafty-modern feel of the place.
I was extremely comfortable the entire entire time and it is exactly what I needed.
I would absolutely return again!

We loved our stay with our family this past week in Ruby's retreat! The home has everything and more. The home is beautifully decorated. We enjoyed evenings on the deck and bonfires at night. It's just a little under a mile to the beach. I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this Michigan home. It was spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully decorated. During our second night, a major storm knocked out power; the owners were in touch with us immediately, telling us where to find flashlights and lanterns, and keeping us updated on the progress of getting power restored.
The house is conveniently located next to Warren Dunes and a short drive to many restaurants, breweries, etc. We absolutely loved this peaceful retreat and will not hesitate to go back!

We enjoyed our stay at Ruby’s Retreat. Appreciated being able to bring our dog who also enjoyed her trip to the beach. We are a family of 5 and liked that each of our kids had their own bed.

My husband and had an amazing time staying at Ruby's Retreat! The house is thoughtfully decorated with all the amenities you will need. We loved the midcentury modern feel and the beds were very comfortable. The yard is perfect for games or s'more's with the fire pit. We even had a few special guests, deer every day and a family of turkeys. Super close to the downtown area as well as a couple of hiking trails and access to the beach. We will be back next year!

This cottage was a real hidden gem. The house was beautifully decorated and clean as a whistle. One of the best places we have stayed at in the area. The fall colors were at peak during our trip and my family had an amazing weekend. The location was close to the Dunes and many great restaurants. Loved that we could bring our dog with us. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend and love to come back!

The house was as advertised - updated and well equipped. The recent renovations were top notch.
The house is set in a quite area close to the dunes and local breweries and vineyards.
The checkin directions and the book in the house that explained how to use everything were very well done.
The house was clean and fresh. This is coming from two engineers and a neat freak.
The host was very responsive and pleasant. She checked in several times during the 11 days we were there.
Finally, our young yellow lab loved the house, yard and area.
We will be back!!!

We loved our stay at Ruby’s Retreat. Our family of five was very comfortable. We had a couple rainy days but we’re able to use the owners’ suggestions to find plenty to do. We loved being able to run, walk or drive to the beach. The house had everything we needed, was very clean and had a great aesthetic. Would definitely recommend!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the house. It’s off the beaten path, but near everything. We had a few beach days of boat day in St Joe, and lots of exploring.
The host had so many things for us to do in the home we played board games, read a couple books, did some drawings with the pencils that they had there. We enjoyed the patio and walks around the neighborhood with our dog.
It was 4 of us, my husband, our 25 year old and our 13 year old.
We loved it!

Thank you!
The cottage had everything we needed and the dogs loved the big yard and deck. Weather was great and the fall colors were perfect. The huge Pine trees on the lot, along the lane, and in this old neighborhood are amazing. Walked the Tower Hill Rd route twice with the dogs to Warren Dunes SP and the beach. Had a lot of fun exploring Sawyer and surrounding communities. Thanks again for being such good hosts.

Perfect place for me and my girls & dog. Very close to Warren beach
Very clean and modern cottage that is at the end of a quite street. I normally over pack things just in case, but Heidi had everything you needed for your stay. Perfect getaway during these crazy times. Very thoughtful in providing our own personal pillow because of Covid and welcome goodie bag.

Truly a retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Ruby's Retreat. Perfect gateway from the fireworks mayhem that is the 4th of July week in Chicago. We enjoyed the backyard, the fantastic deck and the opportunity to grill out most evenings. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Thank you for the thoughtful and timely welcoming gift!

Lovely way to getaway
Heidi was so easy to communicate with, the property is modern inside and quiet and cozy outside. And it's a 2 minute drive to Greenbush and Warren Dunes Beach! It was just what the doctor ordered! Highly recommend.

Rubys Retreat
Property was in a nice area, big lot, perfect for our dog, wooded, close to all attractions and really good restaurants up and down the Red Arrow Highway. Beds needs updating, an exterminator might help as well, as you had enter through a gauntlet of Daddy Long Leg spiders.

Cozy cottage in the woods!
My family of four spent four nights and enjoyed every minute. The cottage is located in a wooded area with a huge yard that was great for the kids. Although located in a wooded area, once inside you’re transported to a modern home that’s nicely decorated with modern appliances and features, and very clean. It has all of the amenities you need, including a smart tv with Netflix that came in handy on our one rainy morning. Heidi provides a great list of things to do and we explored many of her suggestions. Many beaches are very close - our favorite was Warren Dunes. Highly recommend for a small family.

We had a wonderful stay at Ruby's Retreat
Cottage was clean with a nice updated kitchen and spacious deck and yard. We even saw some beautiful deer cross the backyard a few times. Smart TV and wifi came in handy when weather was not cooperative. Easy drive to the dunes and wineries around. Only minor drawback was that most of the side streets and roads were labeled as private property with menacing 'no trespassing' signs, which made it difficult to enjoy walking around the neighborhood. Of course this is not the owner's fault whatsoever, but it took a bit away from the experience. All in all a great place to stay!

Everything you need...
My family had a wonderful time at this home. We had everything we needed and our dog enjoyed the yard. Our girls loved spending time outside on the porch and in the yard. The location is great. We spent time in Benton Harbor and Warren Dunes, both nearby. The neighborhood is nice to explore on foot too. All in all an excellent stay.

Cute and quiet rental near a lot!
We spent three nights at Ruby's Retreat with our 10 month old. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We loved sitting out on the deck and there is a large yard as well. Loved that we could walk to Warren Dunes and there is a lot of great stuff within a half hour drive. Recommended!
