Over the Labor Day weekend, my wife and I stayed at the Kerr Mansion. It was wonderful! I highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone who needs a relaxing place to stay (or a large place to hold a party).though this is tucked away in the foothills of Oklahoma, don't let that lead you astray. The Kerr Center has many amenities that compete with the larger (and pricier) 4 star resorts:
- Stay in the uniquely decorated President rooms in the main house, or take a more secluded room in the nearby cabins (just a short walk from the main house).
- Fantastic views of the Poteau River Valley. I can't seem to stress this enough. It seems like almost every outdoor area has wonderful vistas. This really is a great place to sit and let your mind relax.
- Breakfast in the large dining room.
- Several Seminar rooms
- 24 hour WiFi in the seminar and dining areas, and great cell reception over the entire center.
- Nicely kept grounds with plenty of space to be with friend. It also has many places to sit, relax and escape the hustle and bussel.
- Beautiful Architecture and landscaping.
- They have everything else a nice hotel would have; Pool, AC, good parking, cable, etc.
- Next to the mansion is a museum, which depicts the history and development of Eastern Oklahoma.
- Just 15 minute drive away is the town of Poteau with a variety of stores, food, and friendly people.
- And don't forget the great room rates.
