I had a group of 20 people come stay at the home and it was amazing. Plenty of room for everyone and great amenities. The house was exactly as advertised but the only complaint I have is the lack of trash bags, extra towels, any kind of seasoning (salt, black pepper, etc.) and the communication wasn’t the best. Still a 9/10 overall just make sure to bring your own towels, trash bags and toilet paper as we ran out.

Overall this was a beautiful, spacious home with great views and many places to both gather and to get away. I do want to provide more information on accessibility. The listing shows a step free entry and wheelchair accessible. This is not true. You can get in the house without any steps but you can’t get to any living spaces including two living rooms, the kitchen and dining area, the main bedroom, and game areas without needing to go up two steps. There are not any grab bars anywhere in the house so if you can get up two steps and don’t need grab bars, it will work fine for a wheelchair, but beware. There is also an excessive amount of taxidermy in the house which goes beyond what is shown in the pictures. We didn’t mind it, but go in with your eyes open. Overall we had a very good stay but were disappointed with the items noted.

Incredible home with big kitchen area, huge living room, pool table, tables for games, great flat yard for games outside, awesome dock to pull up a boat! Sleeps a lot of people. We love it and Ruth Lake is gorgeous!

We were told most rooms have AC when in fact only 3 of the 8 rooms have AC. Only 2 of 6 burners worked on stove. Oven heat inaccurate.
Screen windows/doors had holes in them.
Not as handicap accessible as we thought.
We loved how spacious it was. Never felt cramped. Pool table and fooseball was an added bonus.

This place is stunningly beautiful, dock access is close, fire ring is close and the charcoal grill is big enough to accommodate our group of 14! We had a great time and would return.
