Despite the listing and pictures both showing a hot tub. This property didn’t actually have one. We were traveling with five teenagers and six adults, all of which anticipated sitting in a hot tub outside after skiing. It was very disappointing. Other than that everything as shown in the description was accurate. I was very surprised to find VRBO doesn’t offer assistance with an inaccurate listing.

This home was everything we could have ask for--it was beautiful inside and out. The house supplied everything we could ever need. We had 20 people total in our group (8 adults and 12 children) and there was plenty of space for everyone. Christie was very communicative and answered any questions we had before our arrival. We will definitely book from this owner again. The house was close enough to all the fun activities we had planned-- snow tubing, caverns, shopping, & wilderness coaster. We had such an amazing Framily (friends = family) Vacation! Thank you for helping us make memories.

Our troop stayed here during our annual ski trip. The house was awesome, very well stocked with everything we needed, and had plenty of room for our troop. The host was amazing and very helpful with all our questions. The location was perfect, especially with the cold, snowy weather during our arrival and stay.

This is a nice place to stay with plenty of thi n s to do in the area. The listing however had some issues. The media room downstairs was useless since the tv did not work at all despite asking for help. The pool table was in very poor shape as well. Everything else was good. My only complaint beside the useless media room was that the welcome book and listing did not align and we received a fee for having a pet one night even though the welcome book said pets were welcome. This error was admitted by the owner but still did not refund our fee. When businesses make mistakes, it should be at their cost, not the customers.

We stayed at Ruskamp. I his house is absolutely beautiful. It has plenty of room for everyone to hang out together or to spread out when you need space. The bedrooms are very comfy, the bathrooms very nice and spacious, and the game room so much fun. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. The owners were so easy to communicate with and replied to my messages quickly. Our family had a great time and are ready to go back next year.

We loved our stay at this house. It was perfect for all! The kids loved the basement with the pool table and they enjoyed a spacious living area of their own. The adults enjoyed the main floor and the open living area. Great place for our family and loved how close we were to beech mountain. A 5 minute drive. The kitchen was very well stocked and we had everything we needed to cook breakfasts and dinner. We will always treasure the memories our family made at Ruskamp! Highly recommend!
