With God's blessing, we have done a lot; with His grace, we will see the to-do list done out here where it is "Out of the way and out of the ordinary!"
We are Neal and Heather Wolhart, your hosts at the Homestead! We have done a lot since we purchased this unique place in 2018, and it is all thanks to you, our guests! Here is an update on our progress and hopes for things to come.
Changes are happening, so though we want to keep the Frontier Village and the history of Homesteading at the center of our vision, we are moving the property forward in many ways. To reach our mission statement's intent and make this place a true group destination, we have started on many projects we think will help make your stay with us a true lifetime memory.
