Beautifully situated on 3,000 acres in the Allegheny Mountains of Virginia, the Omni Homestead Resort was founded in 1766 when a rustic lodge was built around its hot springs pools. More than a century later, renowned financier J. Pierpont Morgan bought it and built the red-brick-and-white-steepled Federalist style hotel that remains the resort's centerpiece and has been declared a National Historic Landmark. Today the resort's attractions go well beyond the hot springs—two of them—to include two 18-hole golf courses, four clay tennis courts, a spa and fitness center, a water park with a lazy river and a beach, a kids' club, horseback riding, a gun club, Orvis-trained fishing guides, and more. Sadly, after decades of having a full-time summer tennis teaching pro, the resort has been doing without one, relying instead on contracting a local pro to conduct limited adult and junior programs and give private lessons. The courts are available for guest use.
