“We are excited to welcome Homestead to our growing portfolio of distinctive resorts, with our sights set on elevating performance, experiences, and opportunities,” said Thomas Fraher, Senior Vice President, Operations, Davidson Resorts. “Our team of seasoned resort experts will create tremendous value for our valued partners through knowledge, anticipation, execution, and collaboration.”
“As we continue on our transformation journey, we are delighted to engage Davidson as tried and true stewards of hospitality excellence,” said Scott Jones, Managing Partner, Slate Canyon Hospitality. “Nearly 140 years ago, Homestead established itself as the heartbeat of the community, and we look forward to partnering with Davidson to blend historic charm and unforgettable experiences for travelers from all over the globe.”
In 1864, Simon Schneitter and his family joined pioneering Swiss immigrants in Midway, Utah, drawn by verdant valleys and snow-capped Rockies reminiscent of home. While farming the land, Schneitter discovered a massive geothermal hot spring, dubbed a “hot pot” by settlers. In 1886, the opening of Schneitter’s Hot Pot Resort set a beloved story in motion: with dining, lodging, and the two-story Virginia House, Homestead became a sought-after destination. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, Virginia House is the only remaining example of Federal-style architecture in the area.
In the state of Utah, Davidson Hospitality Group also operates Snowpine Lodge in Alta, and Asher Adams, Autograph Collection in Salt Lake City.
