Perfect fall weekend
My family enjoyed time at the fire pit swings. You could see the stars listen to the night sounds. Lovely. The back porch had a big dining table we all gathered around. Property was clean. Lots of amenities. The only 4 star i gave was on property description: there was not an office with a sofa bed. We will definitely stay here again.

Family Vacation 2024
We have been coming to Sheffield Mine since 2005 and love staying in the Cowee Valley area. This is the first opportunity we have had to stay at Ruby Gem Cabin. It definitely checked all the boxes we look for when booking a vacation rental. King size bed, central a/c, WiFi, peaceful location. Tanya is an amazing host and her cabin is one of those places you hesitate to tell others just how good it is for fear it will be fully booked when you want to come back. Ruby was the best stocked cabin we have stayed in and even had a highchair for our grandbaby. I’ve already emailed to get details on the king mattress as we slept soundly through the night all week, something that doesn’t happen at home with our Tempur-Pedic. Tanya has a gift with interior design and Ruby reflects that. We will definitely return in the future.

Two Night Stay
We rented this property for a visiting band to stay in and they loved it! The only issue was access to the property with a steep gravel road. Tanya is a fantastic, communicative, and welcoming host!

Amazing tranquil country home
I just can’t say enough about this property and the manager. Perfect place with plenty of room for our family. Very secluded and peaceful. Everything you could need for a long or quick get away. We will definitely be back. Tanya was so nice and helpful and very quick to respond. Absolutely wonderful place to stay.
