The Homestead Resort and Spa of Midway, Utah, has long held memories for the many that have visited and enjoyed it's unique setting & atmosphere. It's crater and beauty were discovered and first utilized by swiss immigrant, Simon Schneitter in the late 1800's. Originally, Simon's intent for the land was a farm. Yet after discovering the medicinal value of the 55 foot crater and it's mineral rich waters, he began to invite others. In 1886 he openned, "Schneitter's Hot Pots," which was the first resort to be established in the area.
Through the years, the resort has changed ownership, but when mentioning the name "Homestead," the reputation of a family centered resort is recalled. The Homestead has meaning for both Carl & I. It was the setting for Carl's parents, very first date. It was also the honeymoon spot for my parents.
This intimate view is of the "Virginia House," which was the original home of the Schneitter family. It has been recently renovated and still carries the charm that must have welcomed it's first visitors. It is one of the oldest buildings in the valley.
