"Our stay was great! Everything was easy to get to, and the whole family had a really good time. We will definitely be back. The only downside was the pricing. The food at the BearFoot Bar and Grill was a little expensive, and we felt the General Store was way overpriced. Other than that, we had a great experience and really enjoyed our stay. Everyone in the family had a good time, and we’re looking forward to coming back!"
