Mill Falls Resort Collection at the Lake
We come here specifically for the hot tubs and indoor outdoor pool. Such an amazing experience! Restaurant in Church landing was great. Short rib prepared perfectly! Only bad part is that you have to walk outside to get to the pool/hot tub if you rooms aren't adjacent to that area. Not a big deal ...
