About The Homestead

A decade before the American Revolution, The Homestead welcomed its first guests to experience the beauty of the Allegheny Mountains of Western Virginia. Today, the legendary and historic resort continues to preside over the countryside, offering unparalleled hospitality and Southern charm in a 3,000-acre setting distinguished by natural healing springs and a splendid four-season climate.

In addition to the time-honored tradition of “taking the waters,” at the historic Jefferson Pools, guests of The Homestead enjoy pampering services and a wealth of recreational opportunities including one of the nation’s most historic spas; three championship golf courses including America’s premier mountain course, The Cascades; the South’s first downhill ski area; a 48-stable Equestrian Center and show ring; a top-rated Shooting Club; as well as additional attractions suitable for the entire family.

The rich legacy of The Homestead is also reflected in the resort’s 72,000 square feet of sophisticated meeting facilities. 28 well-equipped meeting spaces range in ambience from historic to modern and in possibilities from small corporate meetings to destination weddings. All are complemented by more than 24,000 square feet of outdoor function space overlooking landscaped resort grounds and the surrounding mountains.
