The Property needs more accessible signs out front for directional purposes, like from the main Hwy. That new circle has everyone confused. I saw several cars backing up and making u-turns. There are NO street signs!!! After finally getting there safely, we loved it!!!! Just enjoyed the ambiance, restaurants and listening to the music playing everywhere."
