"All Aboard, The MackRail Cabin Car!" This vintage 1947 Southern Rail X654 Caboose formally at Cleveland Park has been transformed into a queen bedroom suite adjacent to Clevedale's English Knot Garden and Courtyard. The steel cabin car is placed on authentic train tracks with all wood interior which has been whitewashed to create a sense of openness. The custom bed is nestled in the bay window with 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and when traveling as a family the two custom bunks are just as comfortable. And just like train cars of old, there are curtains for privacy. This is the only room that can accommodate children between the age of thirteen. A sitting area with two swivel chairs are perfect for reading or watching a movie. And the soothing smell of cedar in the luxury conductor's bathroom transports you when taking a hot shower. The Mack Rail Cabin Car also features a private deck and private landscaped back garden. Consider yourself walking back in time as if in an old movie. CHOO, CHOO!
The Westmoreland Bridal Suite is named for General William Westmoreland, a friend and schoolmate of Conrad Jr. The suite is decorated in soft shades of white, gold, blue, and green and features an opulent luxurious king size bed, ensuite bath with an air jet tub, sitting area, and flat screen television. Clevedale's homestead cannot accommodate children under the age of thirteen.
Conrad’s niece, Elisabeth, who became the caretaker of the property following his death, utilized this trunk room for storing all of her art supplies for painting. Look through the eyes of Elisabeth in the watercolor displayed. Although quaint, this suite is perfect for a young person traveling with parents or a girlfriend weekend. This is the only room without an ensuite bath but makes a bold statement in its muted blue tones, opulent three quarter bed, and sitting area with flat screen television. Clevedale's homestead cannot accommodate children under the age of thirteen.
Ohana in Hawaiian culture means family and family means “no one is left behind or forgotten.” This queen suite is a reminder of a favorite vacation spot as well as the philosophy by which the Abernathy's are guided. Bold colors, views of the rear tropical garden from the roof top porch, a gas fireplace, and ensuite bath set this suite apart from the others. Clevedale's homestead cannot accommodate children under the age of thirteen.
The Wren is big on style and versatile as it features twin accommodations which quickly can be converted into a king suite. Named for the official bird of South Carolina, the Wren also has special significance as it is the name of the architect Sir Christopher Wren, of the chapel on the campus of the innkeeper’s alma mater, Westminster College in Fulton Missouri. It features an ensuite bath, gas fireplace, and roof top porch access overlooking the side gardens. Clevedale's homestead cannot accommodate children under the age of thirteen.
