Culbertson Mansion State Historic Site Tours

This property is new and beautiful! A vibe of retro motor lodge meets luxe boutique. Hi o & chic at the same time. I sent as initially thrown off by the doors on the outside, but the Trail Hotel pulled it off! The lobby is beautiful with many spaces to sit in small groups & relax on gorgeous leather chairs & relax. The bar is gorgeous and cocktails are great! Steakhouse is delicious. There is a golf simulator that looks like a posh lounge that can be booked and a great speakeasy in the basement. The outdoor pool is in the center with a nice pool bar so you don’t have to go far to grab a drink & bask in the sun. The semi-submerged pool loungers are a nice touch. The gift shop offers some great items including their collection of bourbon & rye. Michael the bar manager (I believe?) was lovely & went over & above to create one of the best old fashioneds I’ve ever had. The rooms are tastefully decorated with a fridge & coffeemaker & the toiletries provided feel upgraded with travel m-size luxe body lotion, etc. Bed & pillows were comfy. There are wonderful fire pits with Adirondack chairs outside and our group loved gathering around the fire each night with a cocktail & stories from the day to share. We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed our time. The hotel is new and they were somewhat under-staffed as evidenced upon check-in - we waited behind another couple who said they had been waiting a while with no one manning the front desk. This was rectified.

Clean hotel, clean rooms, breakfast was hot eggs, bacon, cereal, pasteies, yogurt, and waffles. The night staff was great! Comfy beds, walk to Walmart or a few different restaurants within minutes, an outdoor pool, and gym. This is our new "go to" hotel in La Grange!

Our cabin was new and updated, cozy. Also, cabin was clean and all amenities were there: laundry machine, dishwasher, utensils, TV's. Purchase your own woods, it will be cheaper. Nice place for getaway.
