$269—Virginia: stay at America’s first resort into fall

Why you should stay:Originally built in 1766 as an 18-room lodge, the Omni Homestead Resort was a favorite among presidents and other VIPs by the 1800s. But this is no relic stuck in the past. The now-2,300-acre landmark resort grew over the years, and completed a \\$150+ million renovation in 2023. Two championship golf courses, horseback-riding trails, guided hikes and a 60,000-square-foot spa with mineral-rich hot spring waters are a few of its offerings.

Members only:\xa0This\xa0sprawling resort is offering members up to 45% off summer and autumn stays. (Come fall, you'll be surrounded by the season's\xa0changing colors.) Travelzoo guests will also enjoy a waived nightly resort fee—non-members pay \\$49 plus tax, per night.
