With warm summer days behind us it may be difficult to start thinking about holiday plans, but take a glance at the calendar and winter is just around the corner. No need to stress on the planning, though – this November and December you can find savings of 50 percent at Virginia’s Homestead Resort with the Holiday Lights & Ice package, with rates starting at $209/night.

In addition to accommodations in one of The Homestead’s 483 rooms and suites, the package includes two ice skating passes for the resort’s outdoor rink, a hayride through the Holiday Lights show and display, and 20 percent off outdoor activities like skiing and snowboarding, horseback riding, and biking.

The Homestead’s storied history as a wellness retreat dates back before the American Revolution thanks to the natural springs on the property. You can still find those rejuvenating waters at the resort’s indoor pool and spa today, as well as a bowling alley, movie theater, and golf course.

Book the Holiday Lights & Ice package November 22 to December 22 (blackout dates include November 25-26). If you’re hoping to hit the slopes on this winter getaway, note that the resort’s ski hill doesn’t open until December 18. www.thehomestead.com
