Monkey Island Waterfront Cottage with Dock-The Ruby, one of Jewels of Isles End

Cottage is a quaint comfortable two bedroom abode. Sleeps up to six. Sits right on waterfront in a quiet cove. Daily activities including, but not limited to, are fishing, swimming, relaxing, and the option of grilling all wrapped into one package. Our three bay dock has plenty of room for your watercraft if needed! Plenty of parking area for truck and trailer/boat trailer. Cottage sits back off of the road, and there's even room for some outdoor games. Great location for anglers, as the public ramp is just a couple of properties over. Some additional amenities are: Shangri-La Golf Course is VERY close, local marinas, restaurants, bait shops, convenience stores, and even a Dollar General for those forgotten items. If you are in the mood, Cherokee Casino is about 12 minutes. Don't forget the sunscreen, sunglasses and beach towel!! The options are only limited to the imagination or willingness to go explore and have fun. If at anytime rest is of the essence the cabin includes two bedrooms for napping before jumping back to action! It includes a fully furnished kitchen with a stove, microwave, sink, and refridgerator/freezer. Cable is included and provides wifi if needed, with a large 52 inch wall-mounted tv, if relaxing is needed. The deck provides a beautiful view of the cove. If a quick dip into the water is in mind, its only a minute walk to the dock which includes a ladder for ease of exiting the water. Let the kids jump in and wear themselves out while the mom gets a much needed sun bath! The Ruby's deck is covered providing shelter or ease of enjoying the morning coffee in peace as well as getting out of the sun for a few moments mid day... use it how you want, just be sure to enjoy!
But please note-other cabins are on the property. Outdoor areas are shared as well as the docks!

Great location with enclosed boat dock.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Ruby. The cove was a great quiet location. We really enjoyed the enclosed dock to keep our boat in during our stay. Look forward to booking this house again in the future.

Relaxing Getaway
This was our second stay and we enjoyed it just as much as our first. Perfect place to dock the boat. Kids enjoyed fishing and kayaking. It’s peaceful and relaxing. Looking forward to another visit in a couple of weeks.

Family Fun Getaway
We had such a great time with our family on the lake! The cottage was very clean and well equipped as was the indoor dock we used to keep our boat. The boat ramp was very close and everything was in a great location! My kids loved the kayak and paddle boat that was there for us to use. We were made to feel very welcome during our stay and we can’t wait to go back!

Always a Treat
We’ve stayed multiple times. A small boat ramp is very close and it makes it easy to handle bringing our boat. Great location and dock. The house has everything we need. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway. When we aren’t on the boat kids like to fish off the dock. It’s a great place to stay

Our Home away from Home
We have lost count the times we have stayed here. We do know we were unable to come in 2023 due to other events going on and we sure missed it. This has become our home away from home and look forward to more stays here. On the 4th our grands were able to join us for a day in the water just chilling on floats by the dock. We love this location and Donna has become a family friend. Extremely responsive and quick to reply to messages.
