A Legacy of Service and Excellence
Thomas Fraher, Senior Vice President of Operations at Davidson Resorts, expressed excitement over this new addition to their portfolio, emphasizing their commitment to enhancing performance and offering exceptional experiences. As they work on the transformation, Scott Jones, Managing Partner at Slate Canyon Hospitality, reflected on Homestead's rich heritage, remarking on its historical significance as a community hub since 1864.
The original founders, Simon Schneitter and his family, were Swiss immigrants who discovered a geothermal hot spring, subsequently establishing Schneitter's Hot Pot Resort, which has become a beloved destination.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, the Virginia House represents the only remaining example of Federal-style architecture in the region. Davidson Hospitality Group not only aims to preserve this historical charm but also to elevate the experience for all visitors, blending the past with contemporary luxury.
