Property Description Nestled in the scenic Wasatch Mountains in Midway, Homestead is a historic, reimagined four-season destination set across nearly 190 acres of breathtaking natural beauty. Known for its iconic geothermal crater, championship golf course, and year-round outdoor adventure, the resort offers a unique blend of heritage charm and modern hospitality. With newly renovated accommodations, diverse dining experiences, and close proximity to world-class skiing, hiking, and fly fishing, Homestead is both a relaxing retreat and an adventure hub-creating an inspiring environment for hospitality professionals to grow, innovate, and deliver memorable guest experiences.
Overview Homestead Resort is in the midst of a full-scale transformation, making this a unique opportunity for a Director of Finance who thrives in a dynamic, evolving environment. With a multi-year renovation underway and a phased reopening through 2027, this role will play a key part in shaping the financial strategy of a reimagined, mixed-use resort.
This historic property-established over 100 years ago-is being thoughtfully redeveloped from top to bottom. Enhancements include new recreational amenities such as pickleball and tennis, expanded social catering and wedding venues, and a residential component featuring fractional ownership. The resort operates with a blend of accommodations, including traditional guest rooms and cottages, requiring a thoughtful and strategic approach to inventory and revenue management.
Located just minutes from Deer Valley and Park City, Homestead is positioned in a growing, year-round destination market with strong weekend demand and increasing visitation driven by skiing, outdoor recreation, and unique on-site experiences-including the resort's one-of-a-kind geothermal crater.
