Driving past bright green fields adorned with lazy dairy cows along Virginia’s Route 220, you get the sense that you’re entering a world where you can completely unplug yourself from the nine-to-five grind. You are–but you don’t necessarily have to unplug all the way. Awaiting you atop the hill marked with the horse-and-buggy-crossing sign is The Homestead, a historic luxury resort offering all the amenities and services a business traveler needs in a relaxed, country setting. So you can come here for an executive brainstorming session or team-building retreat, but you can also come just to unwind and enjoy gorgeous scenery.

“Our location is our biggest challenge and also our biggest advantage,” said Jeffrey Ford, the property’s vice president of sales. “We’re like a cruise ship in the mountains.”
