    We were pleasantly surprised to learn the property was on 70 acres. Beautiful lake with lots of trees. The Main House was beautifully decorated which we loved and yet, if you stay at the Lodge house it was perfect for a slightly more rustic feel. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Mrs. Thomas was the perfect hostess, friendly and helpful. We would DEFINITELY repeat staying here. Also based on the large number of rooms, PLUS gathering areas (Florida Room, Game Room, Dining Room at Lodge, outside patios and more) it would be a perfect place for a Family Reunion. Yes, there is a pool. We give it TWO THUMBS up. Chris and Barbara Thomas

    Shirley Thomas and the gang at Ruby Lodge at Springlake Woods were perfect hosts. The food was great in a beautiful location. Every need of our class was met and then topped off with an amazing breakfast. We will be back for our next reunion.

    This was our first Bed and Breakfast experience and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was great! From the moment we first walked through the door we were well taken care of. Accommodations were beautiful and the breakfasts were gourmet quality. This is a very hospitable, generous, hard working and fun family. Special thanks to Shirley and Jennie for all they did for us.
