Ruby's Cabin is a well-loved destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in nature. Guests praise the thoughtful setup and cleanliness, with the wood-burning stove often mentioned for its comforting warmth. The area offers plenty of space for outdoor activities, and the hosts are frequently highlighted for their welcoming yet unobtrusive presence. While the cabin is off-grid, visitors appreciate the chance to unplug and enjoy the serene surroundings.

We're lucky Jay shares his property

With pets

Jay is a wonderful man for allowing us to enjoy his little piece of paradise. His property is special. Once you pass his home, you drive into an escape from society. You meander through a wooded driveway and end in a tucked away spot where cell reception does not exist. The space is private and lovely. Our dogs were able to roam and explore without us having to worry. Well, except the evening we drove up and found about 100 elk hanging out in our pasture. We did not want the dogs to scare away these astonishing visitors! There is no power on site, which we were fine with. There are plenty of lanterns around to find your way. The one thing I was not ready for was the outdoor shower, which consisted of solar-heated water bags. Nope... not for me... not in the rainy woods of Oregon with around 50 degree weather. Thankfully, McCreedie Hot Springs are just 15 minutes away!

Beautiful location. Thoughtfully set up for visitors. Everything was super clean and as described. Hosts were friendly but not intrusive. You can tell a lot of hard work and love went into the place.

Can't wait to come back again!

We loved staying at Ruby's Cabin, best cabin hands down I've ever stayed at! It had all the amenities you could think of to help make your stay the best it could possibly be. We visited during the winter time in February and even though it was cold outside we stayed nice and warm in the cabin with the wood stove. We cannot wait to come back here in the summer time!

Slice of heaven

With kids

The hosts exceeded all expectations. We overpacked, unknowingly. My partner also says he still can't believe how perfect it was. Dont change a thing! We saw the Salmon Creek falls despite the weather mid December. The woodstove does the job in keeping things toasty. The outside kitchen has all the cookware you're going to need. The outhouse is so nice and has a great handwashing station. The cabin is stocked with first aid, extra blankets, kids toys, alcohol markers, crayons, color pencils, board games, etc. Outside there is croquet, bocce balls, giant jenga, a Whipple ball, a fire pit... I can't name everything and how great this place was. Not to mention the DETAILS... the art work, the craftsmanship of the cabin itself. 11/10. Can't wait to come back this summer!

Peaceful alone time with the dogs!

With pets

Absolutely lovely getaway to an amazing property and location! Beautiful and inspiring off grid space done very well. Myself and 3 old dogs found comfort just relaxing, enjoying the outdoor kitchen, and having access to their trails for adventuring. Lovely, welcoming, and generous hosts. Enjoyed a viewing of the local elk herd on the final morning! Will be back for sure! Take care and thanks for having us!

If you’re looking for a secluded cabin nestled in the woods, surrounded by hiking and biking trails, and close to town for any of your needs, then Ruby’s Cabin is the perfect place. Jay is very friendly, will answer any questions, and provides anything you would need at the cabin. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Ruby's Cabin Relaxation!

Group trip

Amazing as always! This time a group of teachers spent a long weekend relaxing by the fire, reading in the hammocks and making incredible food on the grill! All the attention to detail is so appreciated. There is plenty of propane for all the lamps and grills, the solar lights are a beautiful treat and there are enough games and toys for all to enjoy! We spent two nights and could have stayed a week or two.

One word - AMAZING

I had hoped this place was as magical as it appeared and in the reviews and it actually exceeded my expectations. While this is "rough" for many it is the most comfortable and thoughtful rustic cabin I've ever stayed in. The hosts do not skimp on anything from the kitchen supplies to the outhouse to the lower deck where there are lots of games and chairs and a firepit for on-season fires. I do not want to oversell it for those who would rather not rough it - there is no power, no hot shower and no cell service on site (but there is down the road) - this is where you can safely and comfortably get away but only if you WANT to unplug. I will definitely be back. Thank you Jay!

Gorgeous, dog and kid-friendly

With kids

This may be the coolest place I’ve ever stayed in. The location is private and serene and there is so much room to explore. The camp has everything you need (and more) and I’d rather use that outhouse than my own bathroom. I’m already daydreaming about coming back in the winter to explore the area by skis. The cabin (and all structures on the property) are so beautiful that I spent a great deal of time just admiring the build. Jay is clearly a very talented craftsman and I’m so glad I got to experience a small piece of what is obviously a large talent. Any Hipcamper will know instantly that they’ve found something special. We’ll certainly be back. Also, soooo kid-friendly. My toddler couldn’t control her delight.

THE way to camp with kids!

With kids

We stayed at Ruby's Cabin for the first time last year, and loved it so much we had to come back! We stayed two nights this time instead of just one and it was even more delightful. Fantastic hosts with an eye for detail and a heart for small kids - we felt so welcome and the kids were over the moon the whole time. Plenty warm and comfy each night, kitchen had everything we needed, space for kids to run and play and explore, and even a park with a playground and hiking trail on the other side of the covered bridge in town!

This is our second time staying here and we love every minute of it. It’s such a special cabin and everything is so thoughtful. You really don’t need to think of much because Jay and Tamara have it all figured out for you. Bring extra blankets, but other than that you are set. I can’t recommend this place enough!

This was our second year staying here and it was a wonderful experience. We had everything we needed. We wouldn't change a thing. Always keep your food stored properly though because we had a visit from two young Shepard mix dogs and they are very clever lol

Lovely Birthday trip

With pets

My family and 2 dogs loved Jay's cabin and awesome property! Jay was so nice and he pointed us to several local swimming holes and made sure we had all that we needed. The camping kitchen is very well stocked, the outdoor shower is amazing and the outhouse is literally the nicest I have seen. We had a herd of Elk visit us both nights we were there which was so cool. Couldn't have a campfire but Jay set us up a propane fire pit so we still had the campfire ambiance. We will definitely book again!

Great for adventure family

We loved our time at Ruby's cabin, and hope to return some day when there's no fires in the area. The outdoor kitchen has a great set up as are all of the lounging places. It was a great place to explore the mountain biking trails in the area.

The most wonderful cabin of all!

Group trip

Ruby's Cabin may well be the best cabin we've ever stayed in, and we've been cabin camping for 15 years or so. The cabin itself is lovely. The daybeds are comfortable. Under some cedars near the cabin, you'll find hammocks that are perfect for napping. The outdoor kitchen is a joy to cook in, and Jay has it stocked with just about anything you might want: a two-burner camp stove, a gas grill (with a side burner), skillets, a colander, a big pot for cooking pasta, sheet pans, a pie plate, decent knives, cutting boards, tea bags, salt, some basic spices, hot sauce, kitchen towels, hot pads, dish soap, big jugs of water, and so much more. You really don't need to bring anything except your food. Oh, and by some kind of camping magic, Jay provides running water in the camp kitchen and at the outhouse. (The outhouse is lovely, and free of unpleasant odors.) The best part of our visit happened when we were sitting at the little pavilion where the firepits are. A herd of elk walked through the field just across from the pavilion. They were never all in the field at the same time - when the first ones arrived, we were thrilled to see maybe a dozen, then more elk came, and more, and some moved on through so we didn't see them any more. I would be shocked if there weren't 60 or more.

The host(s) honestly attempted to describe this listing accurately but as an experienced traveler they simply didn’t have enough words to describe how wonderful this place is. The amenities and isolation on this property surrounded by the cedars is Heaven! Exceeded our expectations. Booking our next trip as soon as I post this review.

This place is amazing. Took my middle son with a friend and his son. Excellent condition, great customer service, fully stocked exterior kitchen supplies. I left behind a sweatshirt and the owner mailed it to me at no cost. Will definitely rebook.
