The Lodge at Glendorn

We had our wedding at Glendorn this month and it was the best weekend we could have ever imagined. The staff went above and beyond in making our stay perfect. The service is exceptional and everything is so cozy. We had a blast doing the trap/skeet shooting - awesome guides. The food was top notch. Not one detail overlooked. Hope to be back soon!

This was our seventh visit to Glendorn and it never disappoints. The food is beyond excellent and the service is top notch. Staff goes above and beyond to meet all requests and ensure you have a magical experience. Our family loves to visit Glendorn and we will be back again many many times in the future. It’s a pampered, rustic, outdoors experience like no other. Something for everyone in the family - even the family dog if he or she enjoys bird hunting or naps by the fire.

We had an amazing lunch, tour and experience at Glendorn. We were in the area for a wedding and were able to get a table outside on the patio at the main lodge for a late afternoon pit stop. We devoured an amazing charcuterie tray (with an incredible fig mustard preserve) and wine. Our service was impeccable. The china is some of the original family china which is such a classy touch as it carries on the lifeline of this amazing property. After our food service, we received a personal tour of the property, complete with a history lesson, from Meg. She blew our socks off! She was so personable and freely shared with us her wealth of knowledge about this property. We completed our visit with a must-see gift store visit! I told Meg to keep an eye out for us on a return visit as soon as possible. Thank you Meg and Glendorn.

We just had such a spectacular fall couples getaway weekend! Relaxing over lunch, drinks by the fireplace with friends, sauna, hiking, fly-fishing and elegant 5 course dinner with world class service. Every detail was perfect, and the staff are unfailingly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.||Located just south of the northern Pennsylvania border adjacent to the Allegheny National Forest, it is a scenic drive from Pittsburgh, western New York and eastern Ohio.||The Lodge at Glendorn is an utterly unique escape destination of rustic charm, comfort and low-key adventure with world class service, dining, cocktails and relaxation. ||The site of a former 1929 timber baron’s family hunting and fishing lodge, over the course of 70 years saw next generation families each build their own ‘cabins’ near the central Lodge.||These elegant 1-4 bedroom houses have been remarkably preserved with modern mechanics and creature comforts in early to mid-century decor, and are ideal for family or multi-couple visits. ||They are separated by an enveloping forest with paths and forest roads, a short walk to the central lodge, which was constructed of old growth redwood shipped back in the day through the Panama Canal. ||The current owner has spared no expense to carry on the timeless beauty and relaxing appeal of the experience on the Appalachian woods, with lakes and streams throughout the property, hiking and biking trails, canoeing, guided fly fishing, trap and skeet shooting and off-property guided adventures.||Accommodations are inviting, elegantly comfortable and private throughout the cabins, with rooms available in the lodge as well.||Our take on the experience is the service and dining experience of a 5 star hotel, such as a Ritz Carlton, in a relaxed, friendly, elegantly casual setting with high-end but low-key adventure activities.

The experience of this place is a little hard to convey without, well experiencing it! There are many paces that offer "luxury"; Glendorn' s version combines the subtle and consistent staff response of "my pleasure" to any request, with a dignity and grace only found in such a place. The sounds of pure silence in the face of nature at Robbers Pond or the crackling of the walk-in hearth while your choice of cabernet is uncorked...frankly, it's the home of a terrific friend who just wants to share their good fortune with you.....

My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at The Glendorn this past week and we could not have been happier with our choice. Everything about our stay was top rate from our accommodations in the Dorn Suite to the meals which were all fantastic. The Big House built in 1929 is gorgeous and staying there is a truly wonderful experience. The grounds are akin to a national park but without the crowds. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. There is something for everyone here especially if you enjoy spending time outdoors. Hiking (on well maintained & well marked trails), fly fishing (novice to expert), swimming, skeet and trap shooting, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, tennis, pickle ball, bicycling...the list goes on and on. If you are a fan of curated grounds and historical architecture you won't want to leave. A true jewel in Pennsylvania's crown!

Meg was super and took care of us. She made reservations for us to sit outside and enjoy the sounds. We had a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board. Meg then gave us a tour and told us about the history. She really knows her history and Taylor’s it to the audience. We will definitely be back.

The food and service is personalized and amazing. Hiking has varied terrain and a massage afterward is the best. Since I don't shoot or fish, my wish is pilates or yoga daily- then it would be perfect!

Well I am sure there are better places Like Inn at little Washington But not better Just different Go from French bordello To log cabin on creek/pond Beautiful dining room Good food and service Typical of setting Great pool Will. E. Ack

My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Glendorn, a most wonderfully wooded and secluded retreat. The location of the lodge is truly magnificent, surrounded by acres and acres of beautiful forest. Quietness abounds. Walking around the property is truly delightful in the Fall. If you need to get away from it all, get back to nature, this is where you need to stay. The charming historic lodge is well maintained; the Green Suite is very spacious and wonderfully appointed. Dinner service was lovely enough. One cannot go wrong staying here.

We just finished a family weekend at Glendorn and it was as wonderful as it has always been. I never know how to explain this gem because it is rustic and elegant at the same time. The service is impeccable and the accommodations are either in amazing cabins, that still hearten to a different era or, amazing rooms in the spectacular Big House. In either case the amenities and the touches of elegant comfort are on par with what you would want from this Relais and Chateau property. We hiked, shot skeet and fly fished and no matter where you go or what you do the staff is always helpful but yet low key. They don't hover but they anticipate your needs and strive to meet them. The chef also prepares meals that rival even Michelin star restaurants in an atmosphere that is so cozy you just want to have a long, leisurely meal. Or dine in your cabin or you can get a picnic lunch prepared! There is nowhere else I have been that offers this type of rustic luxury...highly recommend a visit here if you can...it is treat like no other!

Best getaway weekend of my life! My husband and I went there on our anniversary. We did cross country skiing, snow mobiling and skeet shooting. We had never done thise activities before but they had people there to show you how We stayed in one of the cabins. I felt so pampered. Every time we left and returned to the cabin, the fridge was restocked with soda, we had fresh snacks ( chocolate chip cookies were awesome) place was cleaned, fireplaces cleaned and ready for a new fire. All of the snacks and sodas/ water were all complementary so you did not feel like they were constantly nickel and diming us to make a profit. The breakfast had so many choices and our waitresses were pleasant and remembered by day two what we liked to drink and what we had before. We saw all the fun stuff for the summer and are planning in going with our son.

It's like a setting back in time. Luxury and knowing you were well taken care of. Food and service were outstanding. The friendly staff made you feel so welcome. We are already talking about going back as it was so relaxing.

GREAT GREAT GREAT place. I can't stop raving about our weekend at Glendorn to our friends. You can make it as action packed and planned as you want, or as lazy and leisurely as you want, or a great mixture of both. My husband and I had a great weekend sans little ones where we hiked, canoed, and lazed about in front of a fire in our private lodge (The Roost is awesome). We also had in-room couples massage in front of the fire on a cold rainy day. You have access to free bikes, tennis, fly-rods, canoes, kayaks, you name it! The food is amazing! Breakfast and dinner were my favorites. The waitstaff was a mix of professional staff and those who are still learning,but everyone was extremely happy and pleasant and there to help you with anything you needed. We were here on a cold wet rainy spring weekend, I could only imagine what a winter weekend or a fall weekend would be like! Actually, I even imagine a summer weekend in the mountains would be a great break from the heat of DC!!!
