The Homestead is a money-grubbing resort

If you want crackers and cookies with your 3 pm tea you have to pay $32. A dinner in the dining room costs $95, breakfast is $30. The only thing complimentary is to sit on the rockers on the porch and swim in the pool. Hardly worth it.

Not true..high tea is free and they have an outdoor year round swimming pool as well as indoor. You have not visited in awhile...there are a lot of things to do and they have made it kid friendlier.
