Anytime is a great time for a weekend getaway, but springtime is especially nice. The weather’s pleasant, but not too hot, and you’ll enjoy getting back out into Utah’s natural beauty now that the snow has melted. Here’s a weekend getaway that’s perfect for just about everyone in the family.
The Homestead Resort was founded in 1886, after Swiss immigrant Simon Schneitter found a rock crater with a mineral water spring on his farm.

Simon and his wife started a resort so that guests could soak in the healing mineral waters, enjoy a meal and stay overnight. Today, The Homestead Resort is still a peaceful sanctuary that’s perfect for a weekend getaway.
