The Omni Homestead Resort & Spa

Honoring Aimee Baker: A Legacy of Laughter, Creativity, and Hope ✨ At The Omni Homestead Resort & Spa, we were deeply honored to be the backdrop for an incredible project that celebrates the life and legacy of Aimee Baker. Aimee’s spirit—her infectious laugh, creative brilliance, and immense heart—continues to inspire through this special film and music video created in collaboration with the Children’s Cancer Research Fund, James Orrigo, Razor Worldwide, and Marina Toybina. Set against our stunning resort, this imaginative project brought Aimee’s vision to life, with whimsical battles between muffins and cupcakes, and a sense of humor that embodied her joyful spirit. Although Aimee passed away before filming, her legacy shines brightly, and we are proud to have played a role in preserving it. Together, we honor Aimee’s memory and continue her mission to raise awareness and funds for childhood brain cancer research. Watch the trailer, support the cause, and help make a difference for kids battling cancer below. #AimeeBaker #LegacyOfHope #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #OmniHomestead #BigDreamsVirtualTour Lynn Swann, Allison Corona Del Cid, Bruce Young

'Twas the night before Christmas at The Homestead so bright, Where magic and joy filled the cold winter night. Jefferson the Elf, with a wink and a cheer, Spread holiday spirit to all who were near. Hot cocoa from Martha's Market, so sweet, Warmed up our hands as we sat by the heat. Blitzen’s Bar gleamed with festive delight, As drinks sparkled brightly under soft candlelight. Snuggles with Grandma on the front porch so warm, As snow gently fell, creating its charm. Peppermint trees twinkled, a magical sight, In the heart of the Allegheny Mountains, so white. We glided on ice, skating with glee, Then roasted s’mores by the fire, so carefree. Gingerbread houses decorated with care, Sweet smells of the season filled up the air. In the holiday suite, we gathered around, Sharing our presents, our laughter the sound. With memories made that would last through the year, At The Omni Homestead Resort & Spa, Christmas magic is here! Merry Christmas Eve to all of our Homesteaders! We wish a warm holiday to you and yours this season. 🎄✨
