The Homestead is a rather sprawling building, which has more lounges than M*A*S*H had seasons (both things are definitely for an older crowd, see what I did there?). The lounges are absolutely beautiful, but I must say that Joe and I never ended up… lounging in any of them. It was just a little overwhelming […]

The Homestead Spa and Resort in Bath County, Virginia: The Building
So… this post is about something that happened over six months ago. At the time, I posted about it very briefly, and never went back to edit the pictures and fully recap our 4th anniversary trip to The Homestead Spa and Resort in Bath County, VA. The next few posts will catch everyone up, I […]
