Christmas Trees Fill The Lodge At General Butler State Resort Park In Kentucky This Season
Throughout the popular holiday movie White Christmas, most of the scenes take place inside a cozy winter lodge. The lodge really becomes its own character in the story as it is such a memorable setting for the movie. If you’ve always wanted to experience something similar, then head to the Christmas tree lodge in Kentucky at General Butler State Resort Park. Butler Lodge is beautifully decorated this time of year and its stunning main room is filled with Christmas trees for one festive scene.
Butler Lodge sits atop a hill within the historic General Butler State Resort Park in Carrollton.
The view from the lodge is one of the best features of the park and the views inside aren't so bad, either. During the holiday season, the lodge is decked out in festive decor and twinkling lights.
But it's the row of Christmas trees lining the room that makes it extra special.
This festival of trees is an annual tradition at the park and provides a lovely backdrop for visitors to the park, lodge, and restaurant. This room is one of the most beautiful in all of the state park lodges, and as a Christmas tree lodge in Kentucky, it is downright magical.
The trees are decorated differently each year and each one is unique.
Two Rivers Restaurant within the Butler Lodge is open during the off-season and is a great spot to grab a local meal. You can see the winter hours for the restaurant on the park's website, linked below.
If you have the time and need a getaway, the lovely rooms at the lodge are also available for bookings this time of year.
The rooms overlook either the river valley or the pool, but there really is no bad room at the lodge. And you can also take time to explore the hiking trails and history of the park, just be sure to bundle up!
Last year, the park hosted a unique indoor skating rink and it is hosting more events throughout the season this year.
Either way, the lodge and its festive trees and decor will feel magical and cozy with a wintertime getaway or day trip in the Bluegrass.
