The Omni Homestead Resort

How sad to see one more great hotel run into the ground by real estate people rather then a hotelier. Place is very run down furniture I/ dingy and dirty. Rooms and bathroom smelled Bathroom was dirty mold on the edges of tub and a wash cloth from last occupant hanging. 30 dollar resort fee daily included wifi by not one that works well service is pleasant but spotty. Not worth the drive. Very sad place..

They could not find my reservation, and left my clothes outside for 30 minutes at night when I was trying to put my 9 year old to bed. I had to go downstairs to retrieve them. My bedroom was not cleaned one day and I had garbage overflowing in my room. Otherwise a nice setting and nice activities.

The Homestead takes you back in time to an era of manners and civility. It is a quiet place where you and relax on the porch with a book, enjoy the pool, play croquet, or just relax. It is peaceful. The food is amazing as are all the amenities. it is pricey, but well worth the cost. Gentlemen, you'll need a jacket to have dinner in the main dining room. The grounds are beautiful and perfectly maintained. Come to be refreshed and you won't be disappointed

The resort is huge and historic - originally built in 1766. You can hike, swim, fish, golf, use the zip lines, or ski and skate in the winter. The main pool has a lazy river and slides for the kids and an adult area as well. I recommend purchasing a day pass for the Spa Garden where you can enjoy an adults only area with a mineral pool, the whirlpool and an infinity pool plus Saunas and special showers inside the spa for $80 or less for the whole day. Don't forget formal tea in the main lobby and tons of little rooms where you can relax in a chaise lounge and read a bit. The rooms are comfortable, the staff nice and the restaurants are good - but some require a jacket for men so come prepared. And don't miss the huge breakfast buffet in the main dining room. It is awesome and their homemade donuts are to die for.

This is one of the great hotels in our country, what it is now run down and not as good an experience as it should be. In its day, it was an elegant property with rich traditions and first-class service. Unfortunately it has not been kept up as well as it should have been. The HVAC unit in our room was hanging out of the wall and was very unsightly. The staff was friendly.
