The grill area includes a wet bar and mini fridge, while a pool bathroom and outdoor shower add convenience. The pickleball court doubles as a spacious driveway.

This property checks all the boxes at more. Truly a perfect home with a great floorplan for groups or multiple families. The location is very walkable, yet tucked away on a quiet dead-end street. The pool was heated and so clean! Can't wait to stay again!

We recently stayed at the Ruffino Retreat for a girls weekend. The house was perfect! It provided a gourmet kitchen, everything was super clean and there is plenty of space to relax. I would highly recommend, the management company met us at the property upon arrival and provided a direct contact number in case anything was needed during our stay. You won’t regret booking this house.Enjoy!

Even Better Than Expected
This house was even better than the pictures. It was absolutely gorgeous and so clean. The weather wasn’t great, but we didn’t even mind because the house was so comfortable and spacious. The hosts were extremely kind and responsive as well. We can’t wait to come back!

The house was beautiful and fit our family reunion needs for 12 very well. The kids loved having the pool, slide and hot tub, and the adults appreciated the spaciousness of the house and wonderful grounds. The pool and hotub were clean and warm and Tonya was responsive. The location was also great, quaint Union Pier, Warren Dunes, and New Buffalo are all easily accessible. We hope to be back.

We had a group of 12 moms looking for a relaxing weekend away, and we found it! Ruffino Retreat was perfect. There was so much room to spread out in the house. The kitchen was stocked with anything you'd ever need. The hot tub and heated pool were perfect. We also loved the outdoor shower and having the bathroom and beverage cooler right there by the pool. The location is great too, you can walk to the wineries or Union Pier Social, Black Currant Bakehouse, etc. We cannot wait to come back!

We had our three adult children, spouses, and three small grandchildren to celebrate a special birthday for our oldest son. The house was perfect! The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a vacation rental. We cooked in almost every night and had everything we needed. The screened-in patio was such a great place. A perfect transition from the kitchen to the backyard with comfortable places to sit, a huge table with still more room to walk around. Inside there were plenty of spaces to sit and relax and the bedroom/BR set up was perfect (even an outside BR for the pool users). The location at the end of the street was private and beautifully surrounded by tall trees. A short walk down to the local bakery was a great way to start the day, and a short drive to the lake provided a lovely morning. Beach towels and chairs/umbrellas were provided and if you need more the rental store is just across from the bakery. Finish the day with relaxing afternoon pool time to make it perfect! The property managers were professional and easy to communicate with and responded quickly to anything we asked. There are plenty of restaurants and activities just a short drive away in nearby towns if you want to explore more, especially with older kids. I would definitely recommend this house for a perfect family vacation.
