Beautiful rooms, Beautiful Estate. My wife and I stayed at the inn for two days in January so I can only speak for the winter. We found our room (Farmhouse Upper) to be very comfortable and perfect for spending romantic time alone. The jacuzzi was perfectly placed, the placement of the warm fireplace made it so romantic in the jacuzzi , watching tv and lying in bed alike. The shower was very large and I personally love it being visible in the room. A privacy issue was that there’s no fan in the bathroom and it was right next to the bed area sooooo…. Yeah…. The grounds were beautifully kept and although it was cold it was nice to see the grounds. Easy/Quick Check in was quick and staff was very friendly. I cannot say enough about how friendly and accommodating the staff was. There was a bit a glitch during the stay but they came through magnificently. We had dinner at the inn, I didn’t love my dish but my wife did. We both loved breakfast. 10/10. I would highly recommend this Inn for couples especially a romantic getaway in the ❄️ cold months and would highly recommend for newlyweds and wedding party guests as well. It is a unique lodging experience and we look forward to visiting again deeper into the winter. I’d love too see it with snow on the ground.

This will be the worst review I ever wrote. Upon arrival the place looked like a ghost town. I thought it was closed. General areas were filthy. Disgusting public bathrooms. No service. There is something really wrong with the the entire facility.

My now daughter-in-law chose Glasbern for her wedding and I decided to have the rehearsal dinner there as well, since we had many out of town guests in for the event. The venue was spectacular and the banquet and food and beverage staff hit a home run. Megan and the entire banquet staff did an outstanding job. They were professional, responsive and helpful. The chef did an excellent job with both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception. Kelsey was a pro in guiding us through the rehearsal and the ceremony. The rooms were unique and beautiful. We stayed in the Stables and had our own patio and amazing view. Rooms are very comfortable and well maintained. A full breakfast is complimentary and was exceptional each morning. One would not be disappointed staying here or having an event at this resort.

What an amazing experience and beautiful getaway! We stupidly booked on a third app site & were given the wrong room. The room was still beautiful with its vaulted ceilings and number sleeper bed but it didn’t have the view we paid for. We were so disappointed as we specifically booked the room for the amazing view however…they 100% made up for it! Not only did the amazing Antonio comp us our room but also our (amazing) dinner & then even treated us to a bottle of champagne to make up for the mix up!!!! Who does that?! I can’t tell you how much this meant to us! Our waitress at dinner was so busy but made us feel like her only table and all the staff at the pub were stellar too! As beautiful and serene as the grounds were it was the staff who absolutely made our night! A++ stay! We felt no need to leave the property as they had a beautiful small private pool that was the perfect temperature open sunrise to sunset, which was a plus, plenty of trails to walk and beautiful scenery around every corner. Definitely worth the stay. We had an amazing time and can’t thank Antonio and staff enough. You guys are the best and we will be back!

Have been here multiple times now and it hasnt disappointed. Love the uniqueness of the different rooms. They do a really good job keeping the grounds in great shape. The service is fantastic. I really like the policy where all tips are included in the price so you dont have to worry about have extra cash on you. And the foot is phenomenal.

We enjoyed a 3 day stay in mid-July. The buildings & grounds are beautiful and well cared for. We stayed in The Garden Cottage Suite, a separate building with a lovely living room, great for entertaining, which we did with another visiting couple! The restaurant was pretty good. Only complaint - we ordered beef for dinner, were never asked our preference as to “done-ness,” and predictably, it was overcooked & tough-disappointing. Other meals though were delicious.

My husband and I stayed at Glasbern the last weekend in July and thoroughly enjoyed our stay as well as the wins and food pairing dinner. It was truly outstanding. Our room was very nice. The location is lovely and it’s so peaceful and serene. I would like to respond to the negative comments about the food. I can’t address what happened in December of 2021 but in July of 2022 the food was delicious. Chef Michael Adams ( for those of you who don’t know was at Hotel Bethlehem previously) is now at Glasbern and doing incredible things with the the menus and meals. The greenhouse on property supplies much of the produce and herbs used in the meals and the freshness stands out. Our room was clean, quiet and had all the amenities needed. The grounds are well kept. Sadly, there are people who will find fault with something wherever they go. We had a lovely time, great food and look forward to our next stay.

We stayed one night, and while we were a bit disappointed by the room at first, the whole place grew on us a bit. The main issue is that the hotel suffers from a kind of bifurcated identity that makes it fail at both being a luxury boutique/stylish hotel or a rustic lodge, while at the same time being very comfortable and pleasant. So, for example, the showers are great but the towels are small. The place made a big thing out of being sustainable, but all the water offered was in plastic bottles (at breakfast, why?) and there was no recycling. You get small jars of jam, which cute- but not particularly sustainable. Service was nice, but far from what you expect at the kind of luxury hotel Glasbern hopes to be. Our waitress at dinner, for example, could not pronounce halibut, though it was one of the dishes on the menu. We ordered the cheese plate, which was great, but it was placed in front of us without describing what cheeses were there (the menu doesn’t spell that out). We loved one and asked for the name/brand to purchase again, and the very nice but very inexperienced waitress clearly could not say Camembert. This is obviously not a comment on her life experience, but of the training of the front of the house in a place with these prices. When we came down for breakfast at our pre-arranged time, they had run of the scones they advertise. When asked why, the waitress said they had an unexpected group for a wedding- which speaks to some managerial chaos. I heard several other tables ask for the scones too, but there was no effort to provide something else instead. All this to say, the grounds are very nice, we really enjoyed the pool and dinner was really delicious. It is a lovely hotel but this is not the high end place (yet) they aspire to be.

We were here hosting our sons wedding. The grounds are beautiful. Certain rooms are very nice, we stayed Packhouse upper suite, our room had a vaulted ceiling, and was beautiful. My moms room lower lever was dated and musty. They need to spend money updating and you get the feeling the owner does not want to real quickly. The staff was very helpful. Pool area needs work. Restaurant for breakfasts was excellent. I would never host a wedding here again due to poor staff manage to and a dismal event coordinator there; but the staff was great.

We spent two relaxing nights at the Glasbern Inn. We booked at the last minute and got a good rate. The hotel’s grounds are lovely. We stayed in a lower level packhouse room. Our room was very spacious, quiet and had a comfortable bed with adjustable mattress, but dated. Hence, 4 stars rather than 5. However, given the price of the room, it was a good value. A nice breakfast is included. Dinner also is available. Amenities include a small pool, small fitness room and pickleball court. Massages are available too.
