as luck would have it

Can you imagine what it would cost to reserve a whole restaurant just for the two of you or even better, a whole rustic lodge all to yourselves? That is what happened to us purely by accident.



I bought a Groupon for a Glamping {glamorous camping} overnight in a town about 2 hours away from home.



We made our reservation for a weekday night, after the leaves had fallen from the trees, and before the winter snows begin to fly {off season}.



As luck would have it we were the only guests at the lodge that night and the restaurant isn't open to the public during the week.



A "better than camping" room with a view {of the forest}



A glass of wine, a bit of reading, a few games of dominoes, peaceful chatting, and a steak dinner all in front of this roaring fire.



Ham and cheese omelet for breakfast made by Rich the friendly owner, proprietor, and chef. In fact Rich was the only other person we saw during our stay.



A morning walk in the woods and then headed for home refreshed, relaxed and pampered.



I would definitely return and maybe bring a friend or two.
