Boasting 500 acres of natural beauty, The Homestead Resort offers a variety of lodging accommodations at one of  four on-site hotels: a warm winter lodge, historic inn, quaint village, or at one of 200 privately owned villas. The Homestead is more than a wedding venue; it is a place dedicated to making memories with loved ones that last a lifetime. Couples are encouraged to come back for anniversaries and all of life’s celebrations for long-standing traditions of love, fun and entertainment. 

Tony Farragh, Director of Sales, further addresses the personal attachment each guest has with The Homestead: “Guests do not just come once. They come back annually or as much as they can.”
