Since 1954, it has expanded its dining facilities and added a hotel, cottages, petting zoo, and other attractions. The "New York Times" wrote in 1983, "[T]he Dillards dug themselves into the land, hung on through good times and bad, and in time turned homecooking and mountain hospitality. . . . into a big business."
