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!

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.

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

Perfect for what we needed.
Property was great for us. A little outdated but the price reflects that. The deck was great and the boat dock was in very good shape. Walk way was under water a little bit(up to ankles) at the beginning of our stay but lake levels were up. By day 2 it was almost completely clear. Donna was very easy to contact and very friendly. If you needed something she was on top of it. Definately going to stay there again.

Nice place
We stayed here while fishing a bass tournament. There were four adults in our group and we had zero problems. The place is dated but was perfect for our needs. The docks worked great and we had plenty of room to park two boats and two trailers. The property manager was great to work with and I expect to stay here again.

Unclean and Not Safe for Young Kids
I was so hopeful for a nice spring break with my family at this property based on the previous reviews, but unfortunately it was a complete bust. I do NOT recommend this rental for the following reasons: 1) Safety • the photos in the listing are misleading. The three bay dock and other dock pictured are NOT the dock located on this property. It is not pictured probably because it is submerged under water. Enough to tempt a child to start walking on it and then it sinks. Not operational and not safe. • not included in the description is the fact that a permanent resident lives directly beneath the rented property. Their back patio is almost unavoidable, esp if you have young kids who like to run around, but it is clear based on the “Private Property,” “No Trespassing,” and windows being held together with duct tape that it is not a place where kids are welcome or safe. • 2 doors down from the property there is an abandoned/dilapidated house that is either currently or appears to have once been a squatter haven. 2) Cleanliness • the previous guest’s French Onion dip was left out on the counter to greet us. • the 30+ year old ruby carpet (perhaps the namesake?) smells and feels as disgusting as you might expect after being near the water and not replaced for that long. The above concerns were brought to the attention of the owner and they have not been willing to work with us so it was $$$ down the drain, as we didn’t even feel comfortable staying. “You live, you learn” as they say but you should learn from me - don’t book this property.
