The Donald Ross Trail is a gorgeous five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home, located in the Homestead Preserve's Sheep Meadow neighborhood, and is less than a mile from The Homestead Resort. Sleeping ten, this stately brick home provides all the comforts of home and then some.
Get a good night’s rest in one of the four king-sized beds or opt for one of the two twins. Each bedroom has access to a private bath, as well as a covered porch. Gather in the living room for a family movie night and enjoy the warmth of the fireplace. Cooking is not a problem in the gourmet kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and a spacious island for food prep and mealtime. Dine as a group at the eight-person dining table and then head to the back porch to kick back and enjoy the quiet seclusion of your Hot Springs vacation.
The basement is complete with a flat-screen television, a wet bar, pool table, foosball table, and an integrated sound system that allows music to be played throughout the entire house. The Donald Ross Trail includes Wi-Fi, and we encourage you to bring your four-legged friend, as pets are accommodated for an $100 additional fee.
Guests also have access to the Old Dairy Community Center about 10 minutes away which offers a seasonal, outdoor pool, large indoor hot tub, game room and fitness center. **Please be advised that Old Dairy access is limited due to COVID-19, and will not be available if there is an event.**

The house was beautiful, and the hosts were very responsive. The basement rec area was wonderful, and we had great fun. The linen and the towels were clean, the bathroom essentials were all in place, and the kitchen was well equipped. Would certainly go again.

Stacy is an absolute gem and working with her every year to plan the perfect trip for my family has been an absolute pleasure. She genuinely cares about providing the best experience for everyone involved, and it shows in every interaction. Every year my family is amassed by her attention to detail and foresight are truly magical. We always joke —it's like she has Hermione's beaded bag from Harry Potter, always prepared with exactly what is needed to ensure everything runs smoothly.
I love that she knows the property inside and out. Her deep understanding of both the house and the local area is exceptional. She anticipates the little things that might otherwise go unnoticed, and her readiness to address any unique questions or concerns you might have is truly impressive.
The Partlow's are very thankful for her passion and dedication to the Homestead.

Thank you for sharing your kind words about Stacy. She is a valuable part of our Natural Retreats team, and we appreciate your recognition of her skilled hospitality level. We are delighted you enjoyed another stay at Donald Ross Trail, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family back soon. Thank you for being our guest.

We had a great weekend visiting Hot Springs. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. We especially enjoyed the kitchen and living room area as well as the basement with the games. It is a good house for multiple couples to gather.
We had some issues finding the house as we arrived at night and the gps sent us through the golf course on what appeared to be golf cart paths.

Lovely stay! Our group of 10 (5 couples) stayed at the Donald Ross House for a wedding weekend. The house is beautiful and spacious. We easily prepared dinner in the kitchen, took advantage of the nice weather on the deck, and were within walking distance of the homestead. It was perfect to have 5 bedrooms and 5 separate bathrooms.

This place is so close to Homestead, you don’t even have to get on the main road! We were able to cook and hang out very comfortably when we weren’t skeet shooting, skiing, and tubing. I especially love the conversation seating between the kitchen and living room and the wall paper in the stair well. The showers are all huge and beds comfy! My family had a wonderful time here!

Home was very comfortable and beautiful. Equipped with everything we could possibly need for cooking. Had a problem with the microwave and Keurig, but Stacy with NR was there within a few hours to replace both. Home was maybe a mile or less from the Homestead, where we enjoyed all of the amenities there. NR was very easy to work with an I would definitely rent this property again.

The Natural Retreats staff was also amazing with providing information for us prior to arrival so we could make plans. All in all, a perfect Labor Day Weekend getaway.

Our family visited the weekend before Christmas. The house accommodated our family of four couples and four children very well. We enjoyed visiting the Homestead resort for ice skating and photos. The Waterwheel restaurant in Warm Springs was amazing. I highly recommend the house. We enjoyed the pool table and foos ball table. Only complaint was slow internet speed.

This is a well-appointed home and ideal for family or business. We stayed here to avoid staying at The Homestead and dealing with lines and old rooms. Very easy to maneuver back and forth for a conference with the various roads using ski lodge drive or access drive through the golf course. Simply google satellite image your location and using to find your way.

This is our second stay at Donald Ross Trail and we love it more each time! Our family enjoys the openness of the living spaces, the basement game/family room, the expansive porches and the private bedrooms. The house feels nestled in the woods and still accessible to the Omni Homestead amenities. It's the perfect retreat!

We visited the Donald Ross House in July 2017 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very high end, in particular the kitchen. Being right next to the Homestead Resort is an enormous perk, as it is a full service hotel with golf, tennis, restaurants and other activities.

We visited Hot Springs for a girls weekend in January! Natural Retreats and The Donald Ross Trail home were amazing! The house was absolutely wonderful! It is 100% as beautiful as the pictures depict. Aside from a few bumps....basement heat out, water flow low etc, everything was great. The concierge Tiffany was wonderful and attentive. When the heat broke, she was already on top of getting it fixed.
We also had personal chef Lyle come in for dinner. Again, fabulous experience.
We definitely hope to be back and recommend it to everyone!!

Beautiful golf course 5 minutes away, hiking/walking trails right out the door, and wonderful people from Natural Retreats to answer any questions that we had. Couldn't have asked for more!

I rented this as part of a corporate retreat. We had multiple rooms at The Homestead and wanted a central place to all gather in the evenings, so we rented this. We also had 8 people staying in the home. It was a perfect spot and the amenities of the home are certainly upscale. Wonderful rental for a large family or corporate retreat.

The house was nice. Two of the TVs did not work. You need someone trained on how to work the complex AV set up. It just takes one guest to knock the entire thing off line. We were told in advance that they were not working. We are headed back there next week and hope they get the tvs fixed.

Thanks so much for your feedback and for staying with us at Donald Ross Trail. We're glad you enjoyed the house- Donald Ross is a lovely home with great space for entertaining.
