We arrived at our lakeside hotel Friday evening and were immediately impressed! The room was HUGE and had so many perks we wondered how they got away with charging us so little! The best part? This massive spa bath: We made a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up the necessities (wine, chocolate, [...]
