Homestead Resort

The hotel and grounds were lovely. And they make/sell great fudge. I swam in the natural spring crater which was a unique experience. I couldn't get my computer to access their wireless network though the signal was strong. But other than that, my stay was enjoyable.

Girls weekend out! My mother, two sisters and I left the families behind and spent the weekend at Homestead. I was amazed at how many activities were available for all ages! Two indoor pools, a huge outdoor pool, and the jacuzzi at the aveda salon had 95 degree mineral water piped over from the Homestead Crater and was free to soak in! Golf, biking, tennis, volleyball, scuba diving in the crater, and an activity center full of fun stuff to do. I espacially enjoyed the deer that pranced through the grounds in the evening. The philly sandwich I ate at Fanny's grill was bland, but their fruit plate for breakfast was nice. The fudge at the gift shop is amazing. We stayed in the "Shaker House" building. It was clean and I was excited the little soaps and shampoos were Aveda, but there wasn't a microwave, DVD player, or mini fridge. That was disappointing because we had planned on hot cocoa and popcorn with our movies, though they did send over a bellman with a DVD player as requested. I will absolutely bring my family next time! read more
