Lake Chatuge Lodge
I absolutely love this place. I've always sad when it's time to leave. The people are so sweet and caring and helpful and unbelievable. The place is clean and the rooms are fresh smelling and it's very pretty and the parking lot is great and it's just wonderful I just don't have enough words to say ...
