When one travels as extensively as we have, one gains enough lodging experiences to know and appreciate the quintessential abode to rest yoru weary head after a long day of skiing Jordan Bowl. The Glen House is off the hook! Kudos to Gretchen and Kris for their attention to detail and thought put into the design and construction of the mansion. By far one of the best Passover Saders was celebrated by our family here. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for allowing us to have one of our best Christmas's together. When we first entered this house, we were transformed into a state of relaxation. This home has allowed us to come together and given us some of the best memories. This year has been a stressful one, and this home has given us a place of peace in our hearts. The beautiful view is sketched in our minds and the joy in our hearts. So thank you again. All our love, The Watsons & Reilly's

Well we are checkign out of this fabulous house! The Glen House made an incredible venue for our wedding - better then any dream I've ever had. The guests were amazed by the beauty of the spectacular views. John and I enjoyed the serenity of it all after our guests left. I hope all future guests enjoy the Glen House even a fraction of how much we did. "May your best day of the past be your worst day of your future!" - Diana and John
