Mountain Retreat! Ruby's Roost House

Summary:
The sleepy town of Mentone invites you to Ruby's Roost. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry, and a lower-level kitchenette with an additional sitting area, Ruby's Roost provides ample room for both entertainment and relaxation inside and out.

The Little River Canyon National Preserve is located just 1.7 miles away from our home.

When it is cold enough, you can ski at Cloudmont Ski Resort, and when it’s warm enough you can swim in the river!

We can't wait to host you!

The Space:
*Fireworks are strictly prohibited on our property at all times, including holidays. We appreciate your understanding!*

**Note: We offer WiFi for your convenience, but please note the rural location can cause the connection to be spotty, and it may be unreliable at times. We recommend downloading any essential files and content in advance, just in case the connection is not working.**

Upon arrival, enjoy the breathtaking scenery that can be appreciated from one of the many vantage points on our property. Come inside, and you will find the view is just gorgeous! The main level of our home boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-concept living space. Guests will enjoy our full, eat-in kitchen, stocked with all the basics needed to settle in and feel "at home." Our living room provides ample seating options and a large flat-screen TV with Roku. A queen bedroom and a full bathroom are located on the main level as well.
Please continue to the upper level of our house, where guests will continue to enjoy views of the valley below. Two queen bedrooms, each with direct access to a shared full bathroom and laundry can be found on this level. An additional lounge space with games and a futon is upstairs.
The lower level of the home offers a shared relaxing/sleeping space, which includes a small kitchenette, a queen bed, a bunk bed, and a sofa. The last private bedroom is in the basement with a king bed. There is also a full bathroom.
Make sure to try to narrow down your favorite outside spot as well! With three levels of decking that wrap around the house, as well as a fire pit and other various places to sit back and relax, you might find yourself spending more time outside than inside! Don't forget to take time to check out the beautiful wildlife around the property, especially the ladybugs! Welcome to our home! We hope you enjoy your time here as much as we do!

***Wildlife frequents this area; please use caution***

***We love our big, warm windows - and in the winter, so do ladybugs! They are harmless but resistant to pest control treatments. Please open and close the door to the porch quickly to reduce the number that gets inside. If they do, a small vacuum is in the corner of the dining room. You can suck them up and dump them back outside!***

***Please inquire about our other home on our property, the Magpie Nest! This additional unit is positioned above the detached garage high in the trees, boasting an apartment living feel w/1 bedroom, one bath, and the same fantastic view! Rent the homes separately or together for a fabulous family retreat!***

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding our home! We look forward to hosting you!

Beautiful View

We really enjoyed our stay at Ruby's Roost. What a view! The sunset was amazing to watch from the top balcony. The pool table was a lot of fun even thought the table was a bit off balance. We were a bit disappointed witht the cleanliness of the place. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the stove top was dirty , dishes still in the dishwasher, and some trash from the last guests still in the trashcan. The place could really use a deep clean and it was not as well stocked as other places we've rented in Mentone. Nonetheless, we had an amazing time. There is the sweeest stray cat that hangs around the property and is very hungry and vocal.
