The Homestead has a lovely location, nestled in a mountain valley with beautiful grounds. Meals were very good, especially when you consider that the resort was operating at capacity over the July 4th weekend. We very much enjoyed a day of hiking right on the resort property. Service was polite at a minimum and sometimes friendly. Our room, however, was... more

Greal location, relaxing stay. Truly felt like we were getting away from it all. We are not golfers but we enjoyed the guided hike. Spa treatments were okay. Food was good (not great). We probably won't return, but were glad we experienced the Homestead once. more

This place is such a disappointment! The food was terrible, there were way too many guests so every event felt crowded, our room was boring, our massages were just ok. Pluses: beautiful grounds & it seems to be a good place for children. Overall, not very romantic, relaxing or luxurious. Perhaps we were expecting the wrong thing as many families... more

We have been here a half dozen times over the past few years and absolutely love it. Between the pool, spa, golf, movies, kids club, bowling, tennis, horseback riding....there is always something to do for everyone in the family. Of course, the paid activities (like golf, spa, and horseback rididng) do get expensive, but there is plenty to do just... more

Stayed for a special occassion in May. Booked an "all-inclusive" package but that was certainly not the case upon checkout. The 1st night dinner experience in the informal dining room was excellent. This was offset by the 2nd evening. Our meals came almost an hour after ordering and 3 out of 5 entrees had to be sent back. Our room... more

If you're looking for a romantic get-away location, look no farther. If you're looking for a resort that accommodates the needs of children, this is it. If you're surprised that a hotel could fit both extremes, read on: We first visited The Homestead in 1997, then stayed there in 2001, 2002 and 2003. We've been there in spring, fall &... more

A great looking resort and in a great location but for the price, way overrated.The check in desk is slow, understaffed and right in the middle of a high traffic area with lots of crowds.Forget about being spontaneous about actitivities and spa visits. Staffing in all areas was fair less than needed for the number of people that the hotel... more
