Ruby is a writer's sanctuary! I spent the weekend on Ruby and it was only on Sunday that I realized I had not said a single word aloud. (heaven). Marcus was a great host, accommodating my late arrival on Friday and giving me a full tour before I settled in. Ruby's interior design is lovely, well planned and super cozy. There was never a time I wished for anything - it was all there. Kristin and Marcus have great taste, everything from the bedding to the coffee and tea selection was top notch. I enjoyed watching the sea planes take off and land on the lake, and everyone at the marina was low-key and respectful of everyone else. I was looking for the quintessential Seattle experience and I found it.
