Just wanted to thank you again for such a great weekend at your Union Pier home! Everything was perfect. We loved the amenities and the decor, and how comfortable it was. We enjoyed exploring the beach; trying specialties at nearby bakeries, yummy meals at cafes, and evening dining at restaurants. We shopped at local antique emporiums, and hiked the county bird sanctuary trails. You have a location perfect for activities, or kicking back and relaxing with family. Hope we can do it again soon.”—B & B

We can’t wait to come back in the near future!

Our family had an amazing stay at Ruffino Retreat over the Thanksgiving holiday! The house accommodated 12 people very comfortably. Overall, the house was very clean and modern, and had everything needed to cook and serve Thanksgiving dinner to the entire group. We were pleasantly surprised by how well equipped the kitchen was! The linens and towels were like new, and the beds were super comfortable. Although the pool was closed for the season, the large hot tub was open and enjoyed by all. The spacious three season room was the perfect gathering place to watch the football games, surrounded by a beautiful wooded setting. The location is like a private oasis in the woods, yet an easy walk or short drive to the beach, local restaurants, wineries and shops. It is the perfect getaway from Chicago, and just over an hour drive from downtown. In all, Ruffino Retreat was the ideal location for our family celebration and we can’t wait to come back in the near future!
