The Omni Homestead Resort

Excellent experience at a wonderful historic but renovated grand hotel. Staff does an excellent job. Lots of activities to make the visit very family friendly. Kids love the breakfast which is quite nice in the ballroom. Only complaint is guest should be prepared to know a $384/night room charge will end up being $514 with added fees for connecting rooms and parking.

Went for a relaxing few days with a friend. Enjoyed the amenities during the slow period of rhe season. The staff was very nice and helpful. Great place to relax, do nothing, or get involved in activities. Recommend highly.

We stayed for two nights at the beginning of February where we were greeted warmly and professionally. We stayed in a fabulous room on floor 20 which had a nice view. The property has a very low noise level which was great for sleeping, however it did feel too quiet at times. The food/drink prices felt a little too high for the quality but there were good options. Would not come solely for the dining though. Our main highlight was our spa day. I would definitely recommend booking a spa service and planning to spend at least a few hours before/after the service time to fully relax in the various spa amenities offered. We each got the Warm Springs Deep Relaxation Ritual which was truly amazing. The outdoor hot tub and hot springs bath were more than enjoyable at below freezing temps and snow outside- it actually made for quite the memorable experience. Would recommend to other couples looking for quiet time together to connect and relax.

We stayed at the Homestead last weekend (Jan. 23, 2026- Jan. 26, 2026) during the massive snow and ice storm that hit the East Coast. We were so glad we stayed and enjoyed the beautiful resort during the snow! We went to the Spa on Sunday, Jan. 25, 2026 and had an amazing experience! Sandra and Amy at the front desk were extremely accomodating with our large group of (3) families. I had a facial with Beronika and she was fantastic! Afterwards, we all enjoyed the outdoor hot tub while it snowed outside! It was truly magicial. The night before, snow and sleet had fallen- but the work crew shoveled paths for us to get to the hot tub, outdoor spring pool and outdoor heated pool. Daren brought us food and drinks outside, navigating icy spots on the pool deck. Sandra brought out dry towels for us to use when we got out of the hot tub. I cannot say enough about the staff at the Spa!!! They worked so hard so we could enjoy a snow day outside. We will never forget it!

Does this resort boast historical southern charm? Yes. Is it an overrated money pit? Also yes. Things we loved: -Hot Springs soak -historical tour Things we hated: -our room being stuck at 63 degrees with the “heat” running constantly -false advertising of abundant activities only to arrive and find many of them only happen at particular days and times, some of which did not overlap with our stay -closed/cancelled activities (granted, no one can help the cold/snowy weather, but we called before coming and were told there was still plenty to do…not true!) -exorbitant prices to access particular areas or to do pretty much anything -black mold all over shower ceiling -people asking for tips at EVERY turn; it became a running joke that they must be trained this way because they all used the same phrase “is there anything else I can do for you?” followed by intense awkward eye contact. I’m all about a tip for exceptional service, but this was out of control. It seems it’s also designed this way. Instead of one person unloading bags, parking your car, and delivering bags to your room, they use 3 separate people. We handed out all the cash we had on us in the first 15 minutes of arriving and had to visit the ATM to be able to keep pace for the remainder of our stay. We won’t be back.
