For those that have been or know about BF in Tennessee and the activities offered for families, what would be comparable to this (all-inclusive, minus alcohol or guided activities as these are extra at BF) in North Carolina? Or somewhere in the tri-state area?

I'll certainly look, thank you for the initial tip.

Edited ...

Closed until May 9th and then limited reopening and appears to be to only "pass holders."

We're not looking to go until July, so I am hopeful that places will start opening (or allowing booking) soon.

The Homestead in Virginia is nice. Similar to the Greenbrier in West Virginia.

Old Edwards Inn and Spa?

I’ve never been but it’s also a Relais & Châteaux property.

Pipestem Resort State Park is West Virginia’s premier family adventure resort. Sitting on the east rim of the Bluestone River Gorge, Pipestem offers something for everyone including exhilarating zipline tours, guided trout fishing trips, mountain bike excursions, rock climbing and more. Spend some time on the water at the park’s new adventure lake and splash park or set out on a kayaking and stand-up paddle board tour, tubing or whitewater adventure on the Bluestone River.

Pipestem State Park is in southern WV, near Princeton. I just copied that info from their website.

This came to mind too. If you want that old school well-to-do summer camp vibe, then High Hampton in Cashiers is like that and has daily meals (although hotel is under renovation so I'm not sure if the rentals are the same). Greystone at Lake Toxaway has some of the same stuff.

All that said, I don't think any of this is particularly comparable to BF if that's what you're looking for. All of these suggestions are probably like 20% of the cost of BF though, so you've got that going for you.
