Hotels near Marion County WMA and State Forest

"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."
