We have been staying in this hotel for 15 or more years. We go 3-5 times a year, and it is amazing. You can do anything here. You can swim, ride horses, play golf on their challenging courses, go for a carriage ride, play tennis, go for a hike, go to the spa, and much, much more. The service for... more

My family just returned from four days at the Homestead. We had a great time. The hotel itself is beautiful. The common areas and rooms were nicely decorated and in great physical condition for a hotel of this age. (With the exception of the carpet in the main entrance hall which was heavily stained from cleaning). The room, with two... more

The Homestead was the biggest disappointment I have ever experienced in terms of travel. I have wanted to visit it for years, but I will never visit it again. It's stunningly beautiful, but overall, the service was just terrible, and it does not measure up to other resorts in its so-called class. Just about everything that can go wrong did... more

My husband and I stayed here for our 5th wedding anniversary and considering the amazing exterior and grand lobby, we expected a room to die for. The staff were awesome and even gave us a free upgrade on our room, however the room was disappointing. I think after seeing how grand the resort was everywhere else we just expected the... more

My wife and I recently visited the Homestead to celebrate our anniversary. We were a little reluctant given the mixed reviews and price point. But after hearing much about the Homestead and passing by the Interstate exit many times, we decided to try for ourselves and are glad we did. The resort is remote, nestled in a valley surrounded by... more

Our stay at the Homestead was great!! We went there in June 2007, when I was eleven, and our whole family loved it. We stayed there for ten days. The rooms were in great shape, the beds were very comfortable, the breakfast was very high quality and the service was pretty good, too. We never got bored, as there was... more

We just made our first trip to this beautiful 19th century resort in the Alleghany mountains of SW Virginia, what a find. Extremely difficult to get to but a treasure once you are there. Beautiful public spaces, enormous old-style large rooms with high ceilings and yet perfectly updated bathrooms and technology in the guest rooms. Four restaurants but rarely more... more

We recently visited The Homestead after a hiatus of several years. The visit was lovelier than the last one. The graciousness, elegance, and beauty of this hotel and surrounding property are still astounding. Where can one find a lovely afternoon tea served among surrounding mountains? Magnificent trout streams (one is among Orvis's seven best in the U.S.) with guides and... more

In the end, I really regretted booking a family vacation at the Homestead. It was way too much money for way too little value. We did enjoy ourselves because we set our minds to do so. And I did see some of the staff make a real effort to be helpful, while others fell short. The overall impression is of... more
