Homestead Resort

Stayed here for 4 nights for a family reunion/wedding after-party. Absolutely loved it!! They have a wide variety of rooms that worked perfect for our large group and different size families. The pool and grill was our favorite place to hang out. Plenty of delicious food options! Some of the group golfed and had a great time. The service was exceptional. Could not have been better. Planning to make it a yearly trip, we loved it so much!

Absolutely Perfect Wedding Dinner Experience! We recently hosted our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding dinner at The Homestead following their ceremony in Strawberry, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better day. Jamie and Lexie went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect—they made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel so special throughout the entire event. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. The rooms were fantastic—super clean and cozy, with incredibly comfortable beds! We moved away from Utah and hadn’t been back in about 7 years, so it was our first time seeing the recent renovations. I have to say, I love everything about the updates. The pool area, in particular, is SPECTACULAR! Our entire wedding party had a blast, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again soon. Thank you once again for helping make such a special day even more memorable!

The homestead is a really enjoy able place, lots of fire places to relax at night by. The pool is great for all ages. The room was mostly clean our couch bed was gross had tons of long black hair all over the sheets but other wise it was clean. I would recommend this place.

I'm sure this will be a fine resort some day. But today it's not quite ready for prime time. There is an extraordinary amount of construction all around the resort that really makes it difficult to fully enjoy a stay here during the week. ||The rooms are all very nicely renovated and many parts of the grounds are quite beautiful. But the whole resort is surrounded by a construction zone. I understand it's about to get worse as they tear down the main building and restaurant and close the golf course for a total renovation. ||||The pool area and crater are really pretty spectacular, so spend your time there. The food is also very very good. We ate at both restaurants and most dishes were great. ||||The staff seems very kind, but some are not very well trained. This caused some service issues that were an unwelcome distraction to a get away week. We had no cleaning service in our room for 6 days because the check in staff forgot to tell us how to access their on demand cleaning services. One meal went pretty badly because our server didn't tell us one of the items we ordered was not available until we asked late in the meal. All other items were served but the one missing item never came. ||||I'm sure these things will all be sorted out some day, but it may be a little early to stay here.

We recently had a wonderful stay at Homestead! From the excellent staff to the beautiful scenery and plentiful activities, it was the perfect getaway for us! The food at 1886 was so delicious! They smoke all their meats in-house and have a fantastic selection of mocktails, cocktails, wine, beer, and more! It overlooks the golf course and is a great spot to enjoy a meal poolside! Their new pool area is fantastic! They have numerous pools to choose from, a waterfall, and are situated on two levels with ample seating, including cabanas that can be rented.|Additionally, a unique and not-to-be-missed experience is a swim in the crater. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are so comfortable! I am already looking forward to our next stay!

The views here are amazing! Our luxury king room and balcony was incredible. I cannot stress enough that the steamer in the shower is life changing. Best showers of my life. Very romantic ;) and it helped combat the dry air for us east coasters. The crater is so fun. We swam and then hit the hot tubs, which also have poolside service. The grounds for the pools are exceptional. There are four hot tubs, and they're all beautiful. There's no shortage of cute ways to spend your time here. Coffee from the Milk House, mornings on the balcony, craters and pools, biking or snowmobiling from Adventourage, a beautiful town nearby, and great food on premise (1186 Grill and Simon's Restaurant). It's lovely. One note is that they are doing construction around the premise, which didn't last late or bother us at all. The views aren't impacted, but just an FYI.

We had a fantastic time staying here with a large group of over 15 people. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making our stay smooth and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious—you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I’ll be craving their apple celery slaw forever! The wood-fired pizzas were a hit, especially the smoked chicken bacon ranch. Our room was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and we had a great time relaxing with a movie after spending hours enjoying the pools and hot tubs. The resort has multiple luxury pools, including a “cold plunge” (though it felt more like a refreshingly cool pool thanks to the warm weather). The hot tubs vary in temperature, which was perfect for everyone’s comfort. We were sad to only stay one day and are already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway with great food, comfort, and fun!

The Homestead is a beautiful property with incredible views of surrounding mountains in the quaint town of Midway. If you haven’t been to Midway, it is one of my favorite places to visit! Homestead Resort is situated close enough to town for convenient dining options, but just far enough to enjoy a really peaceful stay. Before you book your visit, here are some pros and cons: Pros: -Well-maintained and beautiful property -Rooms are spread out in multiple buildings to give a somewhat private and spacious feel -Most rooms have a patio (we really enjoyed our little patio for coffee, reading and relaxing) -It is very quiet, you don’t hear doors of other visitors and we couldn’t hear the people above our room -Our bed and pillows were very comfortable! -The pools are well-designed and vary in temperature -There are fun & unique features in the pools -There are lawn games and fire pits to enjoy around the property -There are dinging options on site, which is really convenient -There is a cute little “Milk House” with some great coffee options, a few breakfast options (although it’s not reliable), and some desserts. My $9 strawberry matcha seemed to just be crème & strawberry syrup… so I think they need a little more staff training, but we did go in 4-5 times to buy a snack, breakfast or drink and enjoyed it. Cons -As of June 2025, the property is still under construction which created some hassles -Parking is inconvenient, it was a bit of a walk to our room and we were coming and going a lot… so it got old -The unfinished parking lot left some gunk (and perhaps concrete) on the wheel wells and side of our vehicle (which I am hoping will come off when we get a chance to wash it) -Our nice little patio had cigarette butts and some gum caked on it, overall the property seems to be maintained pretty well, but there needs to be a bit more attention to detail in places like that -We had to ask for new towels almost daily because they would not dry overnight in our room (we went through a lot of towels) because there isn’t a standard towel rack and the room always felt oddly humid -Be careful of the hot water, I nearly burned my fingers several times checking the water temperature before showering or washing my hands. The hot water is BOILING hot! Overall, it is a lovely place. I think because of its newness and the busy summer season, they missed the mark on a few things… but I would come back.

My employer did a weekend conference and it wasn't the greatest experience. 1. The AC was broken in our room. Maintenance said the switch board was out so it wouldn't be fixed until the next day. The next evening it turned on but wouldn't allow you to control. The thermostat said "controlled from a central location". I've never been to a resort that didn't allow you to control the room temperature. 2. None of the TV channels worked. The system they use just had a spinning loading symbol in the corner. In 3 days, it turned on 1 for about 20 min and then went back to not working. They do have HBO max with no login but it would kick me out every 30-40 min. and getting back is a hassle. 3. The WiFi is terrible. Again, I went for a work conference and it would come in and out 4. No convenient plugs by the beds, I had to move a dresser to plug in my phone. - staff was friendly, food is good and my room was clean. A lot of activity's and very family friendly. Most of the time you're outdoor and the property is very well taken care of.

This resort is so beautiful however the ambiance was dimmed by the constant noise of construction equipment pounding the earth. 7:30 AM - 9 PM - Pounding. Shaking the room. We arrived around 6 PM after the sun had gone down & there weren't lights anywhere so we could not see the signs directing people where to go. The lights on the paths & villa exteriors were also out - could not see a thing. The staff seemed really nice. Every hotel/resort I've ever stayed has a microwave or things you can get at the front desk like a toothbrush. They didn't have any complimentary items like that. Still beautiful, just not the winter secluded escape I was looking forward to.

This is a gorgeous and peaceful resort located in Midway. The town is sleepy but it's really growing a lot and I loved our newly renovated room. Honestly one of the nicest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. The shower was ginormous and all the appliances were new. They even had a Nespresso machine and pods. Standard king size bedroom came with a couch and tv and a patio with a fireplace. I could see a deer in the grass from my front door. Also everything is energy efficient and the room was so warm! Bedding was new and nice, It's the perfect spot for a little weekend getaway and I highly recommend it. We also loved the Milk Room. Excited to see what other updates they do with the giant new pool.

Ugh!! Go anywhere else. The staff was nice and helpful. The remodeled room was good. But everything else was a shambles. The property has potential but the hotel, golf course, and hot springs need to be centralized. Why stay at the resort when you can't get a tee time or a reservation for the hot springs? Answer: don't

This review is specifically for the Homestead Crater swim experience. Arrived at 6:15pm for a 6:30pm reservation and was told to wait until the exact time. Once inside, it's definitely hectic with the last swim/scuba group coming out to get changed in the small hallway while you are trying to sign in. We arrived in our bathing suits and put our shoes in the small lockers. Life jackets are required no matter your age, which hindered the experience (but I understand why). In 2010 there was a death here from a swimmer diving. There is no jumping or touching the crater walls during the swim session, so essentially you're just bobbing around with about 15-20 other swimmers. There was also a big scuba class going on at the same time we were there. The crater is about 40 x 60ft, so it was pretty cramped with that many people inside. We stayed for about half of our swim time before leaving. It was definitely beautiful to see and explore, but I don't think I would return.

The resort is under construction and being remodeled, so first let's start there. I think once it's done it will be stunning. I would absolutely return. We stayed in a King room which was perfect for 2 adults. The bed was literally one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. I was not expecting to be so content. The grounds were clean, and the holiday lighting was beautiful in the snowy setting. "Picturesque" comes to mind. The room was clean and bright. Service was excellent. Truly. Everyone was super friendly and the hotel runs well - it's obvious that it's well-managed. I will also say that regarding the suggestions below, we've already received emails from management stating they appreciated our ideas. Great way to have a repeat customer - to listen. We had a few suggestions that we already shared - each room should have a coat hook, especially with the cold and the proximity to Park City/Deer Valley. It just makes sense. Ours did not. Nor did it have a spot to sit aside from the bed to take boots off/put them on. There are secure locks/deadbolts in the mechanism but if I had been traveling alone I would want more security than that - like one of the door stoppers up top - one never knows who else is traveling, and though most humans are good people, sometimes you get a weirdo. Women/Men/non binary/genderqueer, however you identify, *people* deserve to feel safe. We also didn't have a "Do Not Disturb" sign, which as a married couple could've lead to a spicy sight for housekeeping, one that I'm sure they wouldn't want... We were only there for 2 nights and I didn't want housekeeping coming in - but they sure did. Grateful, but I wish I'd had the option to opt out. Wifi is guest/public access so make sure you're encrypted if you have any sense of cybersecurity. The Milk Bar is adorable. From what I've been told their drinks and food are excellent, however they were woefully understaffed and got bogged down when a large family (12?) came in and ordered. We weren't even acknowledged for 20 minutes and decided to leave without experiencing it. The Crater was really cool! Totally worth checking out. The views from up top were beautiful. Looking at the construction below I can see that this place will be a gorgeous destination resort. I think in order to really up the ante they should partner with a local soap maker or do something more upscale than "soap in a bag" for the amenities. I certainly would enjoy staying here again. It was clean, quiet, and well maintained. Management is responsive and the area is stunning. Do yourself a favor and book a room here. I think a lot of the one star reviews are unfounded - if you know that the place is under construction then why complain about it when amenities aren't available? The prices seemed fair with lack of these items, for what it's worth.

Well I'd say my review is supported by the other 100+ customers that have left 1 star reviews. Wow, 60% of your reviews are scathing, unhappy patrons. That speaks volumes. If you're a potential customer looking for a place to go dine or stay, look elsewhere. Seriously. What could be a charming little nook in the hills above Midway turned out to be the worst customer service of my life. Nearly to the point of being assaulted by their 'chef'. More like their hack cafeteria cook if we're being honest. I was literally poisoned, food or biologically poisoned white dining there and had to make an 'emergency' exit! Violent vomiting I. The parking lot where the chef chased me outside and tried to start a fight with me while I was hunched over vomiting. This wasn't typical flu illness. This was a poisoning. I'd urge anyone reading to take your business elsewhere. Anywhere. Save yourself.

Do not stay here if it you want to sleep in past 6 am. The rooms are built so h ear every guest, even though we are in what is suppose to be an expansive family style suite. I am literally here right now, and besides the room above us sounding like they have been playing basketball for 3 hours, they literally started using a chainsaw outside our room at 8am. This is not really for some, but a good portion of the resort guests were at a BYU game that ended at midnight, and did not get back to the resort until around 1:30 AM. In addition to the chain saws and kid running around above us, there is a major ant infestation, which I found out the hard way. I have stayed at Zermatt, their other resort, many times, but will NEVER stay here again.

Overall an extremely satisfying experience. The person who checked us in didn't know how to apply the gift card so my dinner went on my credit card instead of the gift credit. Tue great thing is, the morning clerk was extremely sharp, well trained, professional, courteous and helpful. Great service. The only negative is that the room heat only brought the room to 67 degrees. I just happen to have a space heater in my car and used this.

I cannot say enough good things about this resort. We had a work event here and the staff and general execution was flawless. You can't even feel the impact of the construction they're doing, outside of observing how gorgeously everything that they've finished is appointed. The pool is stunning and next level, the rooms and grounds are gorgeous, and again, the staff is top tier. Truly wonderful experience. We will be back.

I was so disappointed in this company, not only as a consumer, but also as a former travel professional. I haven't had a child of the hospitality degree and never in my life. Have I seen a company that is such a rip off I called and purchased a gift for my son and his girlfriend. I wanted to make sure it covered enough money to give them a night stay to soaks at the crater and was assured that $150 would cover and then I wanted to add $50 spending money to be used for food credit. They were nice enough to type up a letter and mail it to my son. It was purchased shortly before Christmas, but I never knew that date of what it was expiring. About 10 months later my son and the girl broke up and over Thanksgiving. I asked my son if they had ever used the getaway and he said no. I was in the process of coming down to Utah shortly after New Year's and I called right after Christmas to see if I could use the $200 credit. I explained the situation to the young lady at the front desk and she was able to quickly pull up my name and credit card information and told me that it had expired approximately 8 days prior. I explained that I lived in another state but was hoping that I could use the credit to come and stay. I explained I had cancer and would appreciate the credit. I was told that it was against policy and there was nothing they could do. I asked to speak to a manager. I spoke to the manager and I have never been treated so rudely by anyone in my life. I was told that they do not offer refunds and I said I don't want a refund. I would like credit to come and stay at the hotel and a creator soak. I said in fact, I don't even need it for two people. I would just like to come by myself and he said they couldn't do that because they would be losing money and I said I don't understand how you would be losing money because you never sold a room or the extra money I paid to create a package giving them a $50 credit for meals was never purchased. I thought I was doing something convenient for my son. and had I known that I would've just Venmo him $200 to stay and eat wherever he wanted. I even asked what options they could do to work with me. I asked if they could you give me a crater soak and a meal and I will purchase a hotel room and was told nope sorry we will lose money. I even asked if they would offer me a medical rate so I could at least come down and stay and I was told no we don't offer any of that either. It's not like I wanted something for nothing. They had all of my information in their computer and proof that I purchased some thing one year and eight days previously. I gave this company $200.00 just two weeks before Christmas. You would think that they would at least let it expire the first of the year but nope, it expired two weeks before Christmas on the exact day, I called them. There wasn't even a grace period to allow all the letter or the US mail to deliver it. What a fraud and what a what a disappointment and not a reputable company. Buyer beware don't purchase a gift because if it's not used, they just keep the money at least Visa gift card gives you a little courtesy time and they only take a few dollars each year. At least you have some time to use it.

I'm sitting in my room on a quiet Sunday morning-listening to the melodic snore of my neighbor in the room next door. Last night, I could hear their conversations (I knew where they ate for dinner and what their plans were for today), along with what they were watching on TV. My point is-these walls are thin! The room is pretty dated with tacky floral curtains and strange artwork that doesn't fit with the overall vibe of the resort. The beds are comfortable, but the pillows are lumpy-leading me to believe they have served their purpose and beyond. The bathroom may not be insulated at all-a quick walk over the tile in the middle of the night will wake you right up. For the price of $200 per night I would have expected a little more. I think you're paying for location (the mountains are spectacular and the grounds are very pretty with all the winter lights and falling snow), but the room itself is very lackluster.

the pool and the rooms are good but everything else was bad the grill and bar that they have was slow service we thought it would be a good place to spend the day when we got here at first but in reality it's not worth the money and the drive from 2 hours

Made a visit to utah for a weekend getaway and wanted to swim in the craters. This was a close and neat way to get that experience. BRING YOUR OWN TOWEL UNLESS YOU'RE STAYING AT THE VILLA. during my visit here I was able to encounter a deer in the parking lot!! I was freaking out because it was super close to me but I was more excited and taken back with how gorgeous it was

I stayed at this resort in April, and the stay was good. Customer service was EXCELLENT! The resort may not have been the best, but the customer service definitely made my experience great! Lovely and knowledgeable front desk staff and everyone was very helpful and friendly. Any issue that was reported was quickly resolved. The resort is sort of in the middle of nowhere, which is nice. But, there needs to be more food options available at the resort. Luckily we had a catered dinner the first night and catered lunches the other days. But it would've been nice to have more options. I guess the restaurant was under construction/closed during my 3 night stay. I was able to partake in the breakfast buffet ($22) one morning, and that was okay. The food definitely could have been better. The biscuits were a tad bit too hard, the breakfast potatoes were somewhat burnt as well. DoorDash options were VERY slim (McDonald's and Subway). I was in my first trimester during my stay, so it was ROUGH! Luckily for dinner we would go out into the nearby downtown area to eat some amazing food! If you visit, definitely venture out and explore! Park City was definitely the highlight of the trip. The balcony room was very spacious, clean, and had a lovely layout! The bed was very comfy (soft yet firm, perfect!) and mostly everything in the room worked well. I wish that there was a microwave in the room though, but it was okay. My only 2 complaints were that 1: my key (and this occurred for others as well) timed out during my 2nd day there. So I couldn't get into my room. But that was quickly resolved (fast and excellent customer service). And 2: the shower ran cold for an hour, I had it on fully to the hottest level, to try and get the hot water to flow. But I eventually had to settle for a cold shower. That was just the first morning. When I returned from my retreat activity I checked again and it was hot. I've never experienced that before. But other than those things, the room was great! During my company retreat we were able to choose from a variety of resort experiences. I chose to visit the crater and to walk the property. The property is quite large and absolutely lovely! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking! Breathing in that crisp air, looking at the beautiful hills and mountains, and looking down at all of the greenery was breathtaking. I just hated that there was construction going on, but it's nice to see that they were investing in improving the property. So not a negative. I loved this part of the trip. I then ventured to the crater where the hot spring is. This was such a relaxing experience. The water was nice and warm, and I enjoyed floating and relaxing. I was able to really clear my mind while in here. I was by myself, there were some divers below me. I couldn't stay in long due to a fear of raising my body temp (pregnant) but this was definitely needed after a crazy morning of nausea and hip/back pain. I felt absolutely renewed after my floating session. I had 15-30 minutes by myself (until the next group showed up). I believe that each group gets maybe 30 minutes to an hour. My group was leaving when I arrived. Overall, this was an okay experience. The room was nice, but needed some improvements. The customer service was EXCELLENT! The experiences and the property was lovely, minus the construction. And there was just a lack of restaurant options. I wouldn't return, but it's nice to have had this experience. If I would've paid for this stay, I would've been very upset and would have requested a discount of some sort. It's not worth what they are asking for per night. Definitely just come visit the crater and I recommend staying somewhere in Park City downtown area.

In the dictionary, you'll see a picture of this resort under "dump". There is nothing even closely resembling a resort except maybe.... Maybe because everyone is very nice. We saw the sign for the property and turned in despite the GPS saying we we had 1/2 a mile to go. Certainly this isn't it so we went to where the GPS thought we should go. Back we came and got checked into our "condo". I really think, for 350 bucks a night, we could have furniture from at least this century that isn't worn out, outside trash cans that are not over flowing and perhaps, sidewalks that aren't tripping hazards and at least a little clean so you don't track mud and gravel everywhere. Everything is beaten up. Stained walls with chipped paint, baseboards look mauled, kitchen sink stained, dinning table looks horrible, one sink didn't work, ice in the fridge is brown, most light bulbs are burned out... the list goes on and on. No coffee for the coffee maker. Dishwasher was running when we checked in with nothing in it. Are two of three blinds acceptable? Maybe the "renovation update" on the website should have clued us in. Instead of renovation, this joint needs a tear down and rebuild. A nice touch this morning was the workers having a good old time outside the "condo" at 6:30am. Seriously, this experience was so bad, it's comical. When we left, we let the desk clerk know we didn't think this "condo" should be booked due to the problems and the construction. She refunded our resort fees (30 bucks). Hopefully the manager sends us an apology email with some sort of refund news. If this happens, I will make a comment here. Run away as fast as you can. I can't imagine the 59 dollar a night motel we saw on I-80 could be worse.

Worst hotel experience ever! When we arrived at 4:30 our room was still not available (check-in 4PM). Front desk apologized and said they would waive the resort fee ($15 day) Finally at 4:45 our room became available. My wife and I settled into our room and snuggled into the bed. You can imagine our horror and surprise when we discovered that the previous occupants love juice was all over the sheets. I have never been so disgusted in my entire life! This is UNACCEPTABLE especially in the time of COVID-19. If the cleaning staff is cutting corners on sheets what else are they cutting corners on (This kept going through my head during the entire visit)? I sincerely doubt that they are cleaning the rooms as advertised on the website. It will take a very long time to get the image of that dirty sheet out of my mind. Upon checkout the front desk tried to make up for the tainted stay by offering $30 off our bill and waiving resort fee (not enough in my opinion). They also said a manager would call me which didn't happen. My wife and I came here on our honey moon thirteen years ago and were hoping to re-kindle the magic on this visit. Instead we got a disgusting room that was run down and totally unacceptable. Our stay was tainted by this experience! We spent a lot of money for a glorified motel 6 with a jacuzzi tub (AKA Luxury Suite) I wish we would have booked somewhere else as the cleaning staff ruined our trip! Needless to say but we will not be going back!

This is a beautiful resort with newly and nicely remodeled rooms. Unfortunately, it's currently under construction, so the campus isn't so pretty. There seems to be great potential here and I'm sure it'll be great once it's done. I got an upgrade to my booking and stayed at a 3-bedroom condo style house. I was amazed how nice the rooms are. From furniture to appliances, everything seems so perfect! With that, I give it an extra star for the review. Perhaps because this place is too new, I encountered a few issues that maybe the property didn't even know about: - A piece of the shutter blind was broken. - The dryer did not work. Yes! There's a washer and dryer here! Too bad the dryer didn't work, so we ended up having to line-dry all the clothes. After I reported this to the front desk staff, nobody ever came to fix it during our entire stay. When I mentioned it to the staff the second time, staff said the maintenance guy has a language barrier and probably didn't understand their request. I thought that was extremely unprofessional given how nice this resort is. WARNING: watch your statement carefully. I was charged for an onsite spending that was supposed to be credited based on the package I purchased. Staff is not sure why the system didn't take that off of my account and promised to manually refund the charges, but that never happened. The credit was never applied, so I had to file a dispute with the credit card company. Too bad my stay had to end this way. I really hoped that the hotel started strong and finish strong. Overall, this is a really nice resort and I really wish there wasn't so much construction going on and awful system issues happening.

Let's start with the positive. Restaurant and the staff were excellent. Front desk receptionist was very polite and courteous. The rooms were very dirty and disgusting. And a awful state of disrepair. A very expensive Motel 6 experience. Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No housekeeping, they think Covid is over . Put into a dirty room, and asked to be cleaned the next day. Dirty towels on the floor and the other persons hair and shit stains all over the room. Very bad service and no manager on duty.

I am giving this review 2 stars instead of 1 because the only redeeming quality of this resort is the staff. My wife and I stayed in the "luxury" suite which was not even the slightest bit luxurious. From the weird towel like material on the couch to the framed quilt that was supposed to be art this place was awful. It did have a jacuzzi tub which was nice however for paying over 200 dollars i felt I was robbed. Not to mention the first room we were given was not even serviced. The bed wasn't made and there was trash everywhere. Homestead Resort you are trash and I wish I stayed in a cheap motel instead of this dressed up turd you call a resort. Side note: the crater springs was incredible and the woman working there was delightful, highly recommend.

Spent one night only but was very good experience, even though we didn't get one of the cute little houses as 'room' (our mistake thinking we made the reservation for a different day!). Overall was a great experience. My boyfriend choose that place because is so close to the ice castles he wanted to show me as highlight of a wonderful Christmas season, plus it was very comfortable and he remembers spending time there with his family when he was a kid. So it was a very nice introduction of the area for me. The room was spacious, comfortable and warm. The dinner we had at the restaurant was very good (try that chowder soup, perfect for a very cold day) and our only regret is not being able to see the famous crater (for some reason it was closed, I think going through some construction).

So I'm gonna start this review just by saying how important it is to read all these reviews people have left and believe everyone of them before you stay here. My husband and I are celebrating our honeymoon so we road tripped all the way from Anaheim, California to this so called "resort" First! We got here 12/27 right around check in time luckily we didn't have any trouble with our room not being ready yet like I have heard most have! We paid more than $200 a night and we're gonna stay 3 nights here at their deluxe cottage and trust me when I say this place is not at all worth staying here for the price! It was overall a run down room with nasty stains and you can tell it was falling apart! Second! If things weren't bad enough we were in a two story house type of room and got stuck at the bottom. All night you could here the family at the top stomping on the floor while we were trying to get some sleep after spending hours in the car trying to get here. We told each other forget this and decided to only stay one night and check out the next morning Lastly! I am giving this review 2 stars only because the of how professional the staff handled our situation. They really understood the overall issue and let us check out early without any problems. I hope that everyone who reads this review finds it helpful and please check your options around the area when it comes to hotels I'm sure there are other nicer places out there for the same or even lower price!

HMy husband and I came here from Southern California for our anniversary. The resort (on the outside) was absolutely beautiful and we were so excited to stay there. Shelby checked us in. She was very nice and friendly, but did warn us that she may have taken the microwave out of our room, which I found to be very odd, considering not many people were at the resort and it was a promised amenity listed on their website when booking. When we got to our room, the first thing I noticed was that it was NOT at all as advertised. No microwave in our room. Broken furniture. The entire room was absolutely filthy (luckily, we brought our own cleaning supplies due to covid). The A/C wall unit was extremely loud to the point that it vibrated the room and we could barely hear the T.V. The bed was VERY uncomfortable (I woke up multiple time throughout each night of our stay). The WiFi signal was also very weak. Poor quality all around. We even called 20 minutes after being in our room about getting a better room and they told us, "all the rooms are the same". During our stay we did the crater soak, which was amazing. Best part of our stay here. We also enjoyed driving into town. The area is beautiful up here. But I would never stay here again, nor would I recommend it to anyone else. Enjoy the crater, but don't actually stay here. Upon checking out, Kay was very kind but couldn't figure out how to work the computer. She asked how my stay was and I was honest in saying that THEY need to be upfront with the quality of the rooms. If I knew the condition, I would never have spent almost $300 to stay here for 2 nights. She apologized and said hopefully they will provide us with a discount. Not only did we have to leave without receiving a receipt or an actual check-out, but we were charged the full amount and never received an apology for the poor quality. Everyone was nice here. I only wish the rooms reflected how nice the outside property looked. Overall we were very disappointed, as this was a special trip we made for our anniversary. The quality does not match the price at all. We would NOT recommend this hotel at all. I only wish we would have looked at the reviews on yelp prior to staying here. Trust me... Go elsewhere.

Came in for a mini break with the family and had some ups and downs during the stay. I have some quick words of advice and then I will get into specific positives and negatives. Advice for vacationing in the area and this property: 1. I would really think about booking somewhere else if you are traveling with more than two people, a family or someone who needs handicap access. 2. If you are insistent on staying at this location, only book rooms in the Barn or the Shaker House. These sets of rooms are renovated and what you would expect from a normal property. These are also the most expensive rooms on the property. 3. REALLY READ WHAT YOU ARE SELECTING! There is a lot of fine print and ways to end up with a room you thought was going to be nice or have a second bed, but doesn't. They will list a room as a double queen but then book you in a room with a sofa bed. Make sure your beds are actual beds. If things like wet bars, kitchen areas, upgraded bathrooms, etc are important to you, call the site directly to book. Booking online is dangerous and you don't always get what you book. 4. I've listed some great places to eat and get drinks further down enjoy! 5. If you're coming to check out the Midway 'crater' DO NOT pay for snorkeling or scuba diving. Yes this is a cool place, but the purpose of these activities is to check out neat things in the water. There is nothing at the bottom of this 'crater' other than silt. There isn't anything to see. If you want to get a look at some of the neat travertine along the walls (which it is super cool) bring your own goggles and save some money. 6. If you plan on seeing the 'crater' you have to book a time slot. It's nice because they don't pack guests in, but you have to make arrangements before you go. (You can book that here) https://www.utahcrater.com/availability-calendar.html?rev=7 7. If you are going to stay at this location or plan on visiting the 'crater' watch your navigation-mine took me to some weird back road. There is a giant sign that looks like a cross stitch at the front entrance. 8. If you're from out of town, plan ahead for Sunday food-a lot of things are closed. Positives: -If you're going to see the Midway 'crater' this is within walking distance. -The indoor pool area looks newly renovated and nice. I didn't go swimming but I did see it while I was wondering around. -If you're in town for one of the festivals, this is close enough but still tucked away where you can be a part of things without feeling like you're stuck in the middle of things. -Midway or 'Little Switzerland' is the cutest town. I could have spent a whole day just walking around and taking in the scenery. -A couple of great local places to eat and get coffee from: https://www.fillerupcoffeestation.com/ (cool 50's diner feel, great coffee) https://bettyscafeofutah.com/ (insanely good breakfast with a country feel) https://www.dairykeen.com/ (there is literally a train running through this whole place-neat place to go with kids!) https://www.judysdonuts.com/ (I didn't actually get to see this place but I drove by longingly wishing they were open) Negatives: -Most of this property is under construction. There are no picturesque views, it's just bulldozers, dirt piles & temp fencing everywhere (not a huge problem, but still worth mentioning in case you need wheel chair or handicap access-the ground is uneven in places). -Simons is the equivalent of Denny's food but way over priced. This 'resort' is literally taking advantage of being the only super close eatery. You can doordash (beware though they get lost in the maze of roads in the resort) or just head out and find some place under ten minutes away. -This just doesn't cut it as a resort for me and I'm not sure why or how they achieved this label. When I think of resorts I think of highly polished, amazing amenities, new rooms (at least within the last decade), and complimentary breakfast. This didn't check any of the boxes where that's concerned. -Deluxe suits are a flash back to the 1990's. I booked an upstairs super nice room that had a wet bar, two queens, a kitchen area & patio. I was sure this was going to be the start of a great vacay for me and the family. Not so much. The two queens were not two queens. One was an antique four poster bed, and the other was a red sofa bed circa 1994. There was not a wet bar, the kitchen area was a microwave and a mini fridge. It was decorated like my mom's house (as if it were a snapshot of the 1990's). There was a cute little patio, but that's where the charm ended for me. Also concerning that was a giant hornet's next in the stairwell. We ended up moving rooms. -Here's the weird thing for me. The deluxe suite (which is supposed to be the nicest room at the resort) was pretty bad. We got moved to a normal two queen room which was way more expensive than the suite. This room was newer to be sure, but this logic is a little backwards to me.

After reading so many negative reviews we were mentally prepared for our stay. It wasn't as bad as we thought but that's probably because our standards weren't too high. A spider did crawl out of nowhere onto the pillow which I had to kill and it smeared all over the pillow. It's just a collection of cabins/run down hotel. We stayed in building 7. The hotel across the street didn't have that great of reviews either so since we were going to the ice castles and crater we decided to stay at the resort. Hoping to stay again after they upgrade the hotel.

We were pleasantly surprised by the rooms at the Homestead! Came back to Utah for a wedding and decided to stay local in Midway. We couldn't check in until after 4 which was disappointing but once we got our room in "the barn" we were pleased with the size and cleanliness. The bathroom facilities need a major update but overall well worth the price. We ate at the onsite restaurant one night out of necessity. No vegan options and very little vegetarian choices. Wine was marginal and mixed drinks were watered down. We'd suggest making reservations elsewhere. Overall, we'd stay here again when visiting friends.

Homestead resort is a little gem in the Utah mountains. We came to scuba dive the crater, amazing! 98 degree water right on the property. They also have ice caves that will open in January. Summer time you can golf right on the premises. We can't wait to come back in the summer.

First time staying at this place and will definitely be my last. Family members seem to have some great memories of this place back in the day, but recreating memories is not what you will find at this dumpy hotel. The hot tub has not been running for at least two days. It's January! People want to soak in hot water! The management has been playing stupid and making false promises about the current situation of their facilities. Seriously! Save yourself a headache and stay across the street at the Zermatt resort--which is a real resort.

We had several issues with our stay and never received a response from management when we contacted them politely both through email and in their requested feedback (digitally due to covid-19). The room was disturbingly dirty and they are not taking covid-19 precautions seriously. There is not room service like they claim. The "social distancing" package is a scam. Not worth the price or risk.

I have been wanting to come visit this resort for years and finally was able to make it happen. I have been very happy with my stay. The staff is very kind and I love how the rooms feel like you have your own little cottage in the woods. The views of the city are gorgeous! I was able to go soak in the natural hot springs crater too and that was really fun! My nephews enjoyed the pool! There are plenty of fun restaurants close by and near the Main Street of this charming town. I will definitely be back for a visit. Midway is close to Park City and much more cost effective! Come stay at Homestead. It's a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle

The good: The room had some updates which were appreciated (beds, lighting fixtures by the beds, entertainment cabinet, towels). Bed and pillows were just fine. It was very nice having extra seating and bunk beds for my kids. The setting is gorgeous especially since it had just snowed. When the internet was working, speeds were solid at 25-30 mbps down. The front desk allowed for a late checkout which was appreciated. The bad: The room smelled...bad. Really bad. "Old dirty diaper" was the term my wife used to describe it. There weren't soap/toiletries when we got to our room (when I went to the front desk to ask for some they got them right away). There wasn't a towel rack for the shower (despite there being brackets on the wall to hold one). The room slept six but there were only four bath towels provided. The internet was down most of the time which I'm sure wasn't their fault but worth mentioning because it meant the restaurant closed so we couldn't use our $20 resort voucher for dinner as planned. At checkout I asked if they would please apply the voucher credit to the room rate because the restaurant was closed and they said no. Disappointing customer service decision. Overall: Room upgrades mentioned above are a good start but they still have a long way to go. I don't mind staying in an old room but the overwhelming smell was too much. I don't know if it was just our room but since that was the one we stayed in, that's the one I'm reviewing. Based on that alone I can't recommend to friends or family.

I love visiting the crater, it's just wonderful! Too bad you're limited to only one hour for $15. We spent the night in the hotel and I was disappointed that our room was not as clean as expected and it had an unpleasant smell. Regardless of that we had a good time; until we decided to get breakfast at the hotel restaurant and when we headed back out to our room to pick up our luggage and check out; we found out the room electronic keys are disabled after 11am, we had to wait for a worker to come and unlock our door... we had to wait in the cold. We didn't have jackets on because we were just going to the restaurant for a quick bite. That's a very cheap and mean maneuver, we paid a good amount of money for our room and check out time is at noon, why disable the access of guest to their rooms one hour before noon?

The grounds are beautiful, and the Crater is a real must-see attraction. The shower smelled moldy when we arrived. The shower backed up after use and the bunk beds had candy wrapper trash. My friend gave himself a concussion when lifting his head off the bed, the lighting is positioned awkwardly above the bed.

I think my expectations for the resort were a little too high since I've been to Deer Valley resort previously and was expecting something similar. The grounds are so-so, the rooms are of a decent size but just extremely worn. There are stains all over the carpet, my tub looks like it has a film around where water pools, the decor is dated. On the positives: the views from the resort are spectacular, the king salmon I had at the restaurant was perfect, and the staff here are generally nice. I probably will not return but I know plenty of people can look past some of the issues I have with the rooms.

Beautiful location and setting. It stops there. Planned a 50th birthday celebration for my husband at The Homestead and the entire experience was less than expected. The property is undergoing a major renovation and most of the grounds are unfinished. We had booked a king suite which is portrayed differently on the website than on property. The room we checked into was yet to be completed; fireplace was not assembled, knobs on cabinets losing, etc. The manager was somewhat helpful in righting our reservation type; however the room we moved to (which is what we had been told we were booking) was less finished. I stepped on a giant screw on the trek up the stairs and corridor to the room. There was a mini fridge on the floor in the path to the bathroom in front of the floor length mirror, no art or accessories and blue painters tape on the wall and ceiling denoting unfinished construction items. The property has amazing potential and will be lovely. The management is renting rooms when they're unfinished. Disappointed to say the least.

We were so disappointed with The Homestead. When we opened the door, we were immediately greeted by the smell of mothballs. There was some sort of goop on the bedskirt. The bathroom was extremely outdated. The toilet had to be from the '70s and was rusty by the hookup. The floor was ancient so we didn't know if it was clean or not. When taking a shower, the tub didn't drain until well after each of us was done. The bath towels were the size of hand towels and almost threadbare. We mentioned all of this to the front desk while going to get our key fixed to get back in our room and we were given an "I'm sorry." Not enough. Very disappointed!

I'll start with a few good things: The man working at the soak was wonderful and informative. As well as the woman working in the gift shop! They were incredible. The hotel though....Outdated and way overpriced. We made a soak and stay reservation online, when we arrived we checked-in and were off to our room, when we arrived at our room it looked like a motel 8.... outdated and not at all worth the almost $200 a night we were spending. So we went back to the front desk to talk to the manager about getting a different room. He then charged us another $70 for an "upgrade" (which was better but not worth the extra cost)and put us in a different room. It's crazy to me that for $300 that's the experience they offer. Very disappointing experience and that they just keep charging you to make you comfortable and happy. Our vote is go for the soak and DEFINITELY don't stay. You are going to be way overcharged for basically a motel experience.

We stayed 2 nights for our anniversary. We made the mistake of not checking the reviews before staying and just took a chance. I hate leaving negative reviews but need to let others know to be aware. I would have left only one star but give it two because the staff and front desk were friendly. The resort is under major renovations... most of the condos are in need of a complete makeover. We stayed in a room that was renovated. The room was decent but the decor and curtains were very outdated and did not work well . The windows and porch door do not open and the sitting porch was dirty. There was no where to plug in the coffee pot and the internet did not work at all. The resort grounds had construction and garbage messes everywhere. Lawns and landscaping were unkempt. The lobby is nice and clean but they did not have any complimentary coffee or tea for the guests . I asked for some herbal tea bags and they said they would have to charge for them. The pool and locker rooms were very dirty and rundown and the hot pool had hair in it and was not hot! I would not consider it a "hot tub"! the outdoor pool was not open and was a complete mess. Room prices were very high priced for the quality and they tack on resort and occupancy fees on top of your regular tax fees. Everything was overpriced. It's going to take years to get this resort looking good. We would suggest that the resort be more upfront with their guests about the condition and hidden charges at time of booking and to lower their costs during renovations. Sadly we will not stay there again and will not recommend it to our friends or family.

Not ready for prime time. This resort has the capability of becoming a 4 or 5 star place but it just isn't there yet. Rooms are recently remodeled and very nice. Lots of construction and it seems that next Spring it will all be ready including a large pool area. Seems there is some need for staff training, such as, ate breakfast at the Simons, the on-site restaurant and our server who was extremely pleasant did not know how to create a room charge for our meal. Most resorts have that a s a built in option but every time we are I had to ask. This also happened at the on-site cafe. There are some touches that need to be looked at such as no mention of whether there is daily housekeeping and there are Nespresso coffee makers (nice touch) in the rooms but no cups. That seems like a no brainer. Everyone on staff was very nice and I want to give it a better review but they are just not there yet.

The Homestead was cool, we went for my wife's 26th birthday w our infant and toddler. You get into Midway and get that small Utah town sense. When you roll in there is a nice older main building with the restaurants and pool and stuff. Check in is a breeze and the front desk is super knowledgeable. They're def a full star. So then we hit up Simons cuz the other grill is closed for dinner, Simons gets a full star to. I had a double IPA beer(jk I had 3 lol) with calamari, cheese curds, and the main course was even better. So then we get back to our king room. The room sucked, I'll be real. The DVD player and tv kept cutting out with the old red,white,yellow hook ups. Ancient! We spent most of our time with the yuuuge hot tub in the bathroom full like a swimming pool for the kids lol. We ended up leaving the night of our last day because the rooms were not fun and the beds weren't that comfy. I got what I thought was the king suite! The town sucked to. The food is amazing but all these "boutiques" are really just houses that sell stuff for the businesses there. The quilt boutique is actually a thread store lol. Anyway.. So we ended up leaving a day early so ya. That's that. Thanks again

I have stayed here before and had a great time, BUT I had made a reservation and found out I couldn't keep it. I called 4 days before to cancel and they said it was all taken care of, yet they still charged my credit card. I've called 3 times and they say they don't believe me and won't refund my money.... On the third try they asked would I consider a free stay instead of a refund and I accepted their offer and have waited a week and still haven't received the promised email with the credit. I've stayed in so many places and have never had my honesty questioned, I can't believe they don't believe I called and cancelled.

So down homey you want to love the traditional mid century modern ambiance but once the scales fall from your eyes and you start noticing the dirty pool, lack of towels, weeds everywhere, low staff count and the fact the whole place is one giant construction site the spell is broken. Golf course is not a resort quality course...its a muni with logoed polo shirts in the pro shop. Hotel is a HoJo at Marriott pricing. Food is Denny's dinner menu at downtown per plate charges. Go and if you set your expectations low enough you might be only a little disappointed, but disappointed you will be.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed at. We have been here for five days, and no one will come take out our trash, change our sheets, or bring us new towels. Their website advertises a restaurant- it is open from 9-2 Friday-Sunday. We arrived on Sunday and they didn't even have water for us to purchase. Not to mention, the restaurant was closed, the delivery service is closed on Sundays, we didn't have a rental car, and I had two kids who were starving. Thank goodness we found the Zurmatt within walking distance- they have a few different restaurants and all of them were open. The rooms are dirty and outdated- we were promised renovated rooms and they did not deliver. The first night our room was 82 degrees all night because the air conditioner wasn't working. UNACCEPTABLE. The pool was dirty- it was not cleaned during the five days we were at the hotel. I would not let my kids get in the pool- it was that bad. Not only didn't they not take out the trash in our room, but when we took out our own trash the trash cans were overflowing (and this was from Monday- Wednesday). Service was mediocre- there was one great staff member (Lacey); the others were defensive as they knew they have been deceiving people for months (promising that rooms would be updated when in fact they are less than 50% complete). If you're coming to Midway, stay at the Zermatt.

The negative reviews on here are probably particular to their situation. This place was clean and comfortable and the desk staff was so friendly and welcoming. The Crater was so much fun and their indoor pool has a giant hot tub and a nice size pool!! When we're back in Utah we will definitely stay here again!!

The staff (and manager) need some serious training. While the grounds and rooms were beautiful and the food at Simon's Restaurant had some show stoppers, when we informed the staff our lights weren't working in our room, they promised to text maintenance, but strangely did not act like it was going to help. I thought it a strange reaction. The problem was that they have this new feature in the room that you have to put your room key in the slot to have the lights work. Easy fix right? NOPE. The staff never told us this and as we continued to call and try to get lights so we could take a shower (not too safe in the dark right?) They continued to ignore us and say they would "text" again not sounding very sure there would be a response. We never got a call back during this 4 hour plus ordeal. When we contacted the manager the next day, he was "shocked" that I was angry at the staff at 10:30 at night for trying to get a lamp for the bathroom and was being ignored yet again. I had to get really upset after four hours of being ignored before they would do anything (like give us a lamp). I mean how hard is it to give someone a lamp? This is not an inexpensive place. It was our anniversary and we spent our honeymoon there so it could have been epic. WOW save your money. The staff could care less about you. The manager could care less about you--he doesn't want you mad at the staff who don't know about the key in the slot lights. The housekeeping staff was awesome, the room was spotless.

This "resort" is more like a hotel and is kind of out of date. We thought it would be super nice like the pictures online but who knows where those images were taken. Our first room had bugs in the bathroom, trash under the nightstand, and random socks on the floor outside our room door? It was nasty so we made them switch us rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful when they had to switch us rooms. The second room was cleaner but still not the best. Sort of like grandmas house if it wasn't as clean as you would except but still sort of cleaned. We left our hydroflask there on accident. Called 20 minutes after we left and 2 weeks later they still "can't find it" i don't know if they can't or someone in house keeping stole it or what but every time I call to talk to someone they say they will call back and never do. So it makes me feel like someone did steal it. I wouldn't recommend staying here, and wouldn't stay here again. On a brighter note though, the room was warm and had a comfy bed?

Do NOT stay at The Homestead. I've never given a 1 star review before, this is the first and here's why. Our room had bugs, lots of bugs. We reported it to the front desk and all they had to say was "thank your honest feedback, sorry". The Homestead has been around for such a long time and therefore I was very shocked that we had bugs, dozens of bugs. The place was also very worn down and well overdue for a remodel. When we made our reservation we were told the remodel would be done before our stay, instead our vacation was surrounded by construction and the noise of jackhammers at 7:30 am.

I've been coming to the Homestead for years. Normally it's been a good experience. But this is the worst I've seen it. Renovations and construction, it's a total mess. Woke up to two jackhammers, a backhoe and nonstop nail guns. To make things worse the AC wasn't working properly. They gave us a swamp cooler to use, but instead of cooling the room, it just made it humid. The room, being hot and humid was extremely uncomfortable. The bathroom only had 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper, so we ran out quickly with 5 people. The restaurant was not operating, The gift store is permanently closed. The outdoor pool had algae, The spa outside was a swamp. The Grounds are all torn up. I'm glad that renovations are being done, but they should disclose all of this to the guests prior to arrival, and discount the rooms until the work is finished. Also, they really shouldn't book a reservation for a room that doesn't have working air conditioning. The heat made our stay miserable.
