Tucked in the Allegheny Mountains of Virginia is The Omni Homestead Resort, a historic hotel that opened in 1766.

10 Reasons To Plan A Holiday Visit To The Omni Homestead Resort

Today it caters to families throughout the year, but is especially magical in the winter. Less than five hours away from Charlotte, my family visited for a long weekend when the Allegheny Mountains were blanketed in snow.

1. Skiing and snowboarding.

With more than 45 acres of wide, well-maintained trails, the Omni Homestead’s slopes are perfect for beginners and those with experience on the slopes. Group and private lessons are offered for children and adults. Little ones ages 5-11 can also learn the basics of skiing by participating in the Little Penguins Program, which includes hot cocoa and plenty of fun in the snow.

2. Snow tubing.

The Penguin Slides Tubing Park is next door to the slopes, and it’s where your entire family can enjoy all the classic thrills of sledding without having to trudge back up the hill. The Omni Homestead Resort’s tubing park features well-groomed lanes and the Penguin Express, a new tubing area conveyor. Participants must be age 5 or older and 48 inches or taller to tube.

3. Snowmobiling.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
