Fall Drifts to Winter

The last of the Fall's colorful leaves have fallen away from the trees. With the arrival of Winter comes the anticipation of the holiday season and all that it brings to Glendorn. From our family-style Thanksgiving Dinner to traditional Holiday Afternoon Tea Services to a New Year's Eve Celebration complete with fireworks and champagne toast.

We are very excited about our winter activities including curling on Skipper Lake, snowmobiling through the Allegheny National Forest, and snowshoeing to the Hideout for a cozy fireside lunch. Winter at Glendorn is full of fun pastimes for the entire family, and also quiet moments that are perfect for curling up with a book by the warm fire in the comforts of your private cabin or doing a Par Puzzle in the Glendorn Library with a glass of cabernet.

Whether your winter escape involves a romantic getaway for two or a family vacation, Glendorn is the perfect destination.

October!

As fall nears to a close and with Halloween just a little over a week away, we see the remaining dabbles of fall color clinging to the trees and feel a crisp coolness settling into the air around us.
We look to the season ahead, Winter, and all that it brings to Glendorn.
Our Activities Team prepares for both hunting and steelhead fishing seasons, as well as all of the many other activities available to guests. The tree stands are in place, the cross country skiing equipment is trickling in and we’ve even tested the Mattracks on the Jeep.

New Clackacraft Fly Pods on the Clarion River

Horseback riding at Glendorn has become one of the guests favorite activities to explore the property. Each morning and afternoon guests are encouraged to take trail rides leaving the newly renovated stables area with a great new tack room.
Tanya greets each guest, talks you through some instruction and everyone saddles up for the ride meandering through the trails and scenery of Glendorns hardwood forest.

Spring time is upon us at Glendorn. The guests have been enjoying the luxury accommodations, gourmet cuisine and the vast array of activities that we are known for.

With spring here the Hideout Cabin is now open for guests to enjoy for overnight reservations or if not reserved a great destination for lunch. The interior of the Hideout is pictured above.

For all nature lovers the wildflowers are in bloom including the Dogwood Trees, (as pictured by the Main Lodge above) wild violets and Trillium's.

Everyone at Glendorn looks forward to seeing you this spring!!!

The Glendorn Orvis Endorsed Guide team had another great week for trout on the Allegheny and Clarion Rivers. Fuller Brook Outfitters at Glendorn has everything for a great day on the water.

Damon, Brian and Shane want to thank all of our past fishing men and women that have had the opportunity to fish the Clarion, Allegheny and Glendorn rivers and streams with us. Send us an email or give us a call at anytime and we'll answer questions about all of your fly fishing needs within the Allegheny National Forest Region.
