Nestled in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains, the Omni Homestead Resort transforms into a winter wonderland when the temperatures drop. January is nothing short of magical, especially when it comes with heated pools, soothing thermal waters, crackling fire pits, cozy snow-covered domes, and delicious dining—all under one roof. With its charming blend of historic elegance and modern comforts, the resort offers the perfect escape for those seeking a cozy, snow-covered retreat. From scenic snowshoeing trails to relaxing in thermal pools surrounded by frosty landscapes, every corner of this destination embraces the magic of winter.
We savored an enchanting winter getaway at the Homestead, where every moment felt like a blissful escape into a mountain paradise. The holiday magic lingered in the twinkling lights and festive decorations, while we enjoyed the year-round heated outdoor pool, hot tub, and indoor pool—each offering its own unique atmosphere for relaxation.
The spa is particularly lovely in the winter as thermal steam rises from the folds of the hillside and firepits blaze. Snowflakes gently fell in the morning, but gave way to bright sunshine and fifty degrees, so we lounged outdoors in the luxurious thermal water pools and hot tub. The couples massage at the spa was an an exceptional experience. The adult-only spa is a peaceful retreat and has become one of my favorite winter sanctuaries.
Explore the resort offerings, from the stables to the slopes. While the weather may not have been ideal for skiing, the kids taking lessons couldn’t have been more thrilled, embracing every the icy hillside with excitement and enthusiasm. Whether you’re enjoying a crackling fire pit, being active outdoors, lounging at the spa, or savoring gourmet meals, the Omni Homestead ensures that your winter stay is nothing short of enchanting.
