Delightful as always. The knob on the bigger, 1st-floor bathroom door came undone. Otherwise, just lovely.

Manager's Response

John, we're delighted that you had another wonderful stay at Ransford's Roost! We apologize for the issue you encountered with the bathroom knob; rest assured that we will pass that along to our maintenance team to ensure it's taken care of. We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us and future guests, and we look forward to hosting you again soon.

We had a small group of 6 youth and 3 adults for high school conference. This was a great location, quick walk to everywhere and well stocked with cooking pots and pans, serving bowls/dishes, platters, etc for a group. Perfect for our group and we would definitely come again!

Manager's Response

Jen, we're thrilled that you and your group had such an amazing stay at Ransford's Roost! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback with us and future guests, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon.

FAQs

WHERE IS THIS HOUSE LOCATED?

Miss Ruby is located in Montreat. This home is approximately 10 minutes from Black Mountain and 30 minutes from Asheville. Click on the location tab above to locate this house on a map.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY?

If you need to cancel your reservation and the property you had reserved re-rents for the time you had it reserved, you will be refunded all money you had paid minus a $89 cancellation fee. If you cancel and the property does not re-rent for your reserved dates, you will lose all money you have paid to that point. For this reason, we recommend that you purchase trip insurance. Please call 888-228-8008 before making a reservation if you have questions or concerns.

WHAT IS YOUR PET POLICY AND FEE?

Miss Ruby is not “pet friendly”. Please be respectful of those owners who, because of allergies or other personal reasons, have chosen not to allow any pets. If housekeeping notes that a pet was present on a non-pet-friendly property during your visit, you will be charged a minimum of $600 to clean carpets, upholstered furniture, and complete air purification measures. Bringing a pet to a house that is not pet-friendly without the owner's consent or permission from Greybeard is grounds for termination of the rental agreement without refund. If you must travel with your pet, please contact us for local boarding recommendations. More info about service animals and the ADA is available here.

WHAT ARE CHECK-IN/CHECK OUT TIMES?

Check-in time is 4pm and check out time is 10am. It is important that we adhere to these times, because there is a chance that someone else will be checking out/in before or after you and we need sufficient time to ready the house for the next renter. If you wish to check-in early, there is a $50 early check-in fee that can be added on to your reservation. Early check-in is only available if someone is not checking out on the morning of your arrival. Early check-in is not available during the summer conference season. 

WHERE DO WE CHECK-IN/PICK UP KEYS?

You will pick up keys from our Black Mountain office, located at 204 East State Street. Keys will be available starting at 4:00 pm. If you are arriving after hours, you will receive instructions on how to access the safe on our front porch. There will be an envelope with your name and house name at the top. Your keys and driving directions will be inside the envelope.

WHAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY DURING OUR STAY?

If you are having a medical emergency, dial 911 from the phone in your rental home or cell phone.

We hope that your stay in the area will be relaxing and without incident, but should you need to get in touch with Greybeard, we have someone on call 24 hours a day. Just call our office at 828-669-1072 and dial extension 203, which will forward to the cell phone of the person on call. Please do not hesitate to call us if something needs immediate attention, but if your question or concern can wait, we ask that you call the office during normal office hours.

WHEN ARE HOMES WITH GAS LOGS IN OPERATION?

Gas logs are not in operation from May through September due to the warmer summer months. Absolutely NO fires are permitted outside unless the property is fitted with a fire ring/fire pit. You cannot bring your own portable fire pit. 

IS WIFI IINCLUDED WITH MY RENTAL RESERVATION? WILL I HAVE CELL PHONE SERVICE AT MY RENTAL?

Wifi is available at Miss Ruby. Please note that Greybeard Rentals does not guarantee internet connectivity or speed. Each individual homeowner contracts directly with an internet service provider, and due to a variety of reasons, Greybeard does not guarantee service. Our Black Mountain and Asheville offices have wifi service available if needed.

Cell phone service is not guaranteed. You may check with your service provider to see if service is available.
