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!

Donna is a wonderful host and we love having the dock to hang out on. The cabin is well equipped and there is ample parking for boat trailers with a ramp just down the road. We love staying at Donna’s place!

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
