Infos

Dating from a crude inn established in 1766 at the site of therapeutic hot springs in the mountains of Virginia, The Homestead resort today comprises some 3,000 acres and includes three golf courses, a ski slope, tennis courts, shooting range, stable, theater, eleven shops, and many more amenities. Designated a National Historic Landmark, its signature Georgian architecture rises from the heart of the Allegheny Mountains as a singular vacation destination. This is the story of The Homestead as it has evolved from its eighteenth century beginnings to become a favorite place to visit for everyone from European royalty to generations of Americans who have made a stay there a holiday tradition.
