Staying in Ruby

Very fun staying in the old caboose. We loved the deck under the gazebo. The pictures and other artifacts lend a very nice railroad type feel. The cupila is so much fun. We really liked the map of the Virginia City mines, so the caboose had a great feel of the history of the area, too. Two small suggestions for the kitchen. 1) A small scrubby pad and 2) a small cutting board would be helpful. But, I quibble. Overall this was a wonderful visit!
