Great Place in a Great location
Our troop stayed here during our annual ski trip. The house was awesome, very well stocked with everything we needed, and had plenty of room for our troop. The host was amazing and very helpful with all our questions. The location was perfect, especially with the cold, snowy weather during our arrival and stay.

Amazing Property!
Our group of 8 just stayed at Ruskamp and had an amazing time! The house is gorgeous and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. Christie was great to deal with and was very responsive to all my messages. We had such a great time that we've already booked again for next year. Highly recommend this property and the owners!

Great Family Vacation
We stayed at Ruskamp. I his house is absolutely beautiful. It has plenty of room for everyone to hang out together or to spread out when you need space. The bedrooms are very comfy, the bathrooms very nice and spacious, and the game room so much fun. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. The owners were so easy to communicate with and replied to my messages quickly. Our family had a great time and are ready to go back next year.

Fall Break 2022
We enjoyed Fall Break at Ruskamp so much last year, that we decided to invite a few of our son's friends to do it again this year! Ruskamp was clean well stocked and in perfect order. We were excited to meet Todd, one of the owners, who gave us a warm welcome and provided enough wood for the firepit during our stay. The fall foliage mountain views from the front picture window along with the daily wildlife visitors made our stay! We highly recommend Ruskamp Retreat and plan to visit again!

Great place to stay!
This property provided everything we needed and more! Such a beautiful home! Plenty of room, plenty of beds, a great living room with couches for everyone, and a basement with pool and other games! And mother nature cooperated with almost a foot of snow to play in! The property provides plenty of hills to sled down as well. It was by far the best experience we've ever had and provided what I was truly looking for in this trip...plenty of quality family time together!

Making Memories
What a wonderful place to stay! The home was very spacious and so much larger than I anticipated. It was the perfect location for our winter vacation since I was fearful of driving on icy mountain roads! Super Close to Beech and Sugar Mountain but without all the windy roads Also a very easy short ride to Hawksnest Tubing. We had everything we needed for our trip and more. We had a party of 30 spread out between 3 houses and everyone liked this one the most!!! We were very happy with our stay and will definitely return. We even got to feed the deer that visited us every morning and night.

Ruskamp love
We loved our stay at this house. It was perfect for all! The kids loved the basement with the pool table and they enjoyed a spacious living area of their own. The adults enjoyed the main floor and the open living area. Great place for our family and loved how close we were to beech mountain. A 5 minute drive. The kitchen was very well stocked and we had everything we needed to cook breakfasts and dinner. We will always treasure the memories our family made at Ruskamp! Highly recommend!

Framily Vacation
This home was everything we could have ask for--it was beautiful inside and out. The house supplied everything we could ever need. We had 20 people total in our group (8 adults and 12 children) and there was plenty of space for everyone. Christie was very communicative and answered any questions we had before our arrival. We will definitely book from this owner again. The house was close enough to all the fun activities we had planned-- snow tubing, caverns, shopping, & wilderness coaster. We had such an amazing Framily (friends = family) Vacation! Thank you for helping us make memories.

Beech Mountian ski trip
Despite the listing and pictures both showing a hot tub. This property didn’t actually have one. We were traveling with five teenagers and six adults, all of which anticipated sitting in a hot tub outside after skiing. It was very disappointing. Other than that everything as shown in the description was accurate. I was very surprised to find VRBO doesn’t offer assistance with an inaccurate listing.

Misinformation
This is a nice place to stay with plenty of thi n s to do in the area. The listing however had some issues. The media room downstairs was useless since the tv did not work at all despite asking for help. The pool table was in very poor shape as well. Everything else was good.
My only complaint beside the useless media room was that the welcome book and listing did not align and we received a fee for having a pet one night even though the welcome book said pets were welcome. This error was admitted by the owner but still did not refund our fee. When businesses make mistakes, it should be at their cost, not the customers.

Wonderful home!
House was perfect for our our family weekend away. Location was awesome and access to home was easy. Impressed how cozy and clean the home was. We loved that it truly felt like a home and not like a rental property. Kitchen and pantry was stocked with everything you could need. The kids especially enjoyed the spacious downstairs area watching tv and playing pool. There was tons of room and space for our two families of four. Newly updated kitchen and baths. Hosts were great and we will definitely be back!
