This was the perfect choice for us! It was my first time in Portland and while we made it downtown for a minute and hit the local places to pick up some sustenance, we held Ruby to her name as a Refuge. She’s a real beauty and functions like the perfect tiny house with cush slippers, welcome chocolate and a nostalgic vibe. She floats somewhere in the history of the Columbia River where it’s ancient inherent assets either collide or cooperate with the “progress”. Early spring trees were bare but birdlife, on and off the water, was abundant and busy. To sum up, our stay on Ruby Refuge was like living on the civilized fringe.
