The Ruby Roost is absolutely adorable. Mark and Tristan obviously went out of their way to style the place and provide little necessities like toiletries and kitchen items. There was also Apple TV and a fire stick. Since we traveled mid-covid to snag our marriage license, it was nice to be able to stay safely inside and binge Netflix the rest of the time we were there. The whole place was spotless. They also provided 2 little dog treats which our pup was thankful for. They responded to messages in a very timely manner.
We took off one star for something that is pretty important for us when we travel, and that's the bed. If you love a harder/firmer mattress, this will be great for you. For us, though, it was rough. We tossed and turned until about 2 AM on our first night and ended up just giving up on sleep to go sit on the couch and watch TV until coffee shops opened. So, just a word of caution to those who (like us) need a softer or memory foam-style mattresses, this is not the bed for you. We also want to caution future guests about the parking situation. While this was in no way Mark or Tristan's fault, we came out to load up our car and found the driver's rear side panel was completely dented in. No note. No nothing. Someone had hit our car during the evening/night and just left. Tristan was helpful and understanding when we informed them of what happened and said that people often use their driveway as a space to pull in and turn around. Our best guess is that someone did this, backed into our car, and drove off. We loved many aspects of the Ruby Roost but we wish our stay had been a little less stressful.
