The resort is beautiful and there were plenty of activities for my children to enjoy. However, with the rates I paid for the room, I never imagined how much the Omni would nickel and dime me for all the extras. Food, even with the kids eat free or 50% off promotion, cost me almost $100 each time I sat down. Want a drink - $42 after tax and tip for two 12 ounce drinks. Buffet breakfast for $40 an adult is theft. $39 plus tax per night for me to self park my own car and walk to the resort with my luggage is outrageous. Two bottled soda's, two bottled juices, and two packs of M&M's from the Market was nearly $30. I ended up going to the local store to purchase snacks to avoid going broke. For the resort stay price I paid and then to have to pay all those extras is a shame. Additionally, the public bathrooms were often out of soap, the floors were dirty, soda machines didn't work to get drinks in the Picnic Pavilion, and the beds were hard as a rock. There were not enough chairs at the pool for guests. A chair was broken and a worker took it away, but came back and said they were out of chairs, so I was left standing at the pool while my kids swam. Pool towels - bring your own as they ran out several times even when the pools were busy. Want a tube for the lazy river, bring your own as they only have what appeared to be 20-25 rafts. I know bugs happen outside, but the resort has an overwhelming amount of bugs that swarm you outside. I understand the resort attracts people with various lifestyles and incomes, but I never imagined the costs I would endure by visiting. There were many other guests that were complaining about the outrageous costs of visiting. This will likely be my one and only visit to the resort because of how outrageous the costs were.

Amazing staff and service - Maddie and Karen are expectational they went above and beyond for my wife and my son who were celebrating a memorable birthday. The staff throughout the hotel is excellent and the entire resort is top notch and a great place for a family vacation. The Food and Beverage is excellent and unique regarding menu options. The Executive Chef and General Manger are hands on and assisted us during our stay.

We stayed at the Homestead as two night stopover on a long trip North. We wanted something unique and pampering and this was more than we expected. Overall, it greatly resembles and reminded us of the look and feel of the other great Omni Resort at Mount Washington. Same wonderful level of service and amenities and activities. Without a lot of stuffiness. What we liked: Architecturally stunning. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. The president's bar is almost like a speakeasy with pool and portraits of all the presidents who have stayed there. Marthas is great for pizza, salads and sandwiches. The veranda. Rocking chairs, gas fire pits, blankets. Enough said. The upkept rooms and care by staff to keep it all prestine. The place is older but the decor, bathrooms and repair of the room was excellent. The staff was constantly monitoring the public areas, fluffing a pillow etc. The Breakfast buffet in the Audubon room.Local maple glaze donuts. Feels special with the tall ceilings, chandeliers and mirrored walls. The hot springs of course. A unique experience. What we thought could be better. The restaurant hours and days open online were not always right, so we had a few issues getting dinner one night. Restaurant's dealing with food allergies. While they do seem to accommodate gluten intolerance, dairy was another issue. At Martha's all the grab to go sandwiches and salads have cheese on them. The one night we ate of Jeffersons, between the heavy sauces and dairy issues, they did try to put something together for me, but it ended up having red meat in it, which I also did not want. Because it was off season Woodies, which we had hoped to eat at was not open. Bottom Line. Go. We would recommend highly it if you don't mind going a little out of your way or if you live in that area of the country.

What a relaxing weekend, the stress just melts away as we are treated to the manners of yesterday. Great service.

This is a great place to go for a weekend getaway. Nestled in the mountains of Virginia, the home of Sam Snead, and they served the best trout in the restaurant.

It's clear why The Homestead has such wonderful reputation and charm. That is evident when you check in at the front desk, where the whole experience starts. We will be back for many visits to come, and appreciate how well the staff is trained to make guests feel so welcome!

My family and I have been visiting The Homestead since about 1977. Our trip this year was without doubt the best. I believe the hotel grounds and facilities are in the best condition I have ever seen. We look forward to returning soon.

Absolutely beautiful! We love to stay when all of the Christmas decorations are all around. Makes for a very special family holiday.

We won an auction for a trip to The Homestead in Hot Springs to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We are just back from our luxury vacation, and it was fabulous. Everyone at the resort was wonderful.

The hotel could not have been nicer and truly did everything possible to make our stay in November wonderful.

We visited The Homestead in July. It was excellent! The suite was absolutely beautiful and the breakfasts were outstanding.

My wife and I spent three wonderful days at The Homestead in Virginia. We enjoyed a beautiful balcony room overlooking the golf course, gourmet meals, a round of golf and even a horse-drawn carriage ride—with champagne—through beautiful forest. The staff was great from the moment we checked in.
