Beautiful getaway

This home right off the river was an amazing place to take a quick getaway. The night sky is so bright with stars. Waking up and listening to the birds was one of my favorite parts.

Perfect place on the White River! Easy, close access if you're into trout fishing, in fact, i put on waders and walked in without having to leave the property several times. Other close-by accesses, also. The host is great. Easy to reach if needed. Cottage was supplied with everything one could need. Great trip, great accommodations!

Our stay was amazing. The river right off the deck, the beautiful scenery, the beautiful “Cottage” was peaceful and quiet. A great place to get away and enjoy yourself. The host was very interactive with us. I highly recommend this place for a quiet weekend or a longer stay!!

We enjoyed the opportunity to get away from the busyness of life! The cottage itself was great for our group of 5. Our oldest son even proposed to his girlfriend on the rock steps out back ❤️ It was a beautiful backdrop. Thank you for the memories!!

Great Get-A-Way

We had so much fun on the river and enjoying our stay at the cabin. The views were amazing, being able to wake up make some coffee and set on the deck and enjoy the foggy sunrises were awesome. We also enjoyed the outside grill and top deck to get some better views. The owner is great and will help you with anything you need, very friendly.

Great place to getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Ruby's Landing Cottage. We had great views of the White River. We were treated to seeing a bald eagle flying along the river during the day and listening to whip-poor-will at night. It was about a 30 minute drive to Mountain View and a couple of swimming holes to beat the summer heat. The cottage provided what we needed for a restful, relaxing weekend.

Perfect getaway

We enjoyed our time at the cottage. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We had a great time on our fishing trip booked through Angler's. Enjoyed having access to a grill and all the amenities. The expansive decks were a great place to sit and see the nature around us. We will definitely look at this location again in the future for another great getaway. Jeff was very responsive to any questions we had.

Eclipse!

Never before have I stayed at a property that exceeded my expectations based on the pictures and descriptions on VRBO! The home at Ruby's Landing is beyond wonderful! The setting is fantastic - quiet, beautiful and serene. It is remote, but that adds to the allure for me. The home is lovely, comfortable and has everything you could need except your party and food! Simply a fantastic location

Amazing views, quiet cottage

We absolutely loved our week here! The views were beautiful inside & out. The cottage was very neat, clean and very well stocked. We spent a good bit of time just at the cottage itself. We enjoyed hanging out by the river and just sitting on the porches soaking in the sights. Easy access to climb down into the River for fishing, wading, swimming, etc. It’s in a perfect location, secluded but not too far from town to rule out day trips. Tons of hiking trails & swimming holes in nearby driving distance. The owner is very accommodating & helpful as well. We had a great time & would love to visit again.

Wonderful!

This house was in the perfect place. It was quiet and Relaxing. The view was amazing, lots of deck area and a swing that overlooked the White River. The kids fished but didn't have any luck catching anything. We went to Blanchard Springs Caverns which was beautiful and we went into Mountain View and ate lunch at Wing Shack and Cheeseburgers it was delicious!! We will definitely be planning another trip to THE COTTAGE and hopefully stay longer next time!
