We had a fantastic stay at the glasbern. I proposed to my now fiancee and she was stunned and we made such a good memory. The staff was friendly and our server Emily was outstanding. We will definitely be back.

Quaint cabins in serene setting
We went for a birthday party, just stayed that evening and had an early flight, so we were unfortunately not able to do breakfast. We enjoyed the bar, our room was wonderful, and the event space was nice as well.

Our local retreat
We live about an hour from this property and visited several times over the summer and this was our first autumn visit. This place is our happy place for a quick getaway to rest and recharge. We love it. There is so much charm and character in an historic property, and the grounds are just lovely. In the summer, we love lounging by the pool. This visit, we enjoyed walking the trails on the property and relaxing by the fireplace (only a feature in some rooms). We also always choose a room with a jetted tub, which comfortably fits two people and is such a nice feature. We enjoy dinner at nearby Folino Estate winery for superb Italian food and wine. The made to order breakfast is a wonderful treat to finish the stay. All of the staff we have encountered were great. We really do love this place as a nearby retreat, and I hope that the new ownership continues all of the parts of this place we like best.

Anniversary trip
What a beautiful time of year to visit the inn and grounds. Loved the trails and so did my beagle! The breakfast was delicious! The whirlpool was great. I do wish I could have chosen a different room but overall it was fantastic. I recommend looking at pictures of rooms on actual website and maybe calling them before booking they have so many different rooms and locations on the property which is hard to tell on hotel.com.

Liked just about everything. The food in the restaurant was uneven. My turkey burger was excellent, but my wife's chicken added to a salad was dry.

Wonderful location - quiet and tranquil for a relaxing reset from a busy schedule or romantic getaway with walking trails and great views throughout the property. Excellent food…dinner was well presented and delicious - We have had dinner in many upscale restaurants and hotels and our meal was equal to that. Compliments to the Chef and kitchen staff. Breakfast was just as delicious with a continental help yourself station and then a-la carte menu selection. Breakfast is Included. Overall the staff were professional and friendly. The property was acquired this year by a new owner and is being managed by a hospitality group. They have done great improvements to the overall beautification and it looks fabulous. I had a chance to view some of the rooms - love the different options and there are many choices depending on your needs - couples or entire families and definitely a place to hold a family reunion - you would feel at home here. Definitely a beautiful wedding venue. My last comment is not a criticism as I am sure the interior room renovations are in the process. They need a little more attention to detail - a few simple interior design details and the accommodations would take them from 3 star to 5 star. ( Having been in the hospitality business for 30 years, the old adage that the devil is in the details is absolutely true!) Certainly would not deter me from coming to stay again, and I certainly look forward to my next visit. Most certainly a hidden gem.
