    A Very Special Place

    May 01, 2013

    Glen-Ella is one of those really unique places that you will always remember. Beautiful and peaceful with amazing food! The staff and owners were very attentive and hospitable. We slept soundly in a comfortable bed. We had great conversations with other guests, and all of them were "repeaters." That says a lot for Glen-Ella. Also, even though I'm more of a "dog" person than a "cat" person, Will the cat is a sweetheart.

    What a beautiful setting!

    May 01, 2013

    Our cousin (and flower girl) got married at Glen-Ella Springs Inn! It was an ideal and romantic setting nestled in the woods with gorgeous flowers and a very comfortable setting. The rooms are so quaint and charming. The bedding and mattress were fantastic. The breakfast the next morning was phenomenal!!! Had to buy the recipe book for Glen Ella. Great experience all the way around!

    Our First Anniversary

    April 17, 2013

    We could not have found a better place to spend our anniversary. The staff is fantastic and I love the no TV in the room. We were able to watch a wedding from our porch and remember our own. There were others there sharing their anniversaries. We also met a couple from Minnisota.

    Uncomplicated

    April 08, 2013

    From making the reservation to the time we left for home, our stay at Glen-Ella Springs Inn was simple, relaxing, and basically uncomplicated. This was our 12th anniversary, and we wanted nothing more than to get back to the time we had together before life got so hectic and busy.

    March 04, 2013

    There is a group of us ladies that annually go to Glen Ella to scrap book for the weekend. This is our 8 year! As in the past, we were very happy with our weekend. The conference room we use was clean, comfortable and has lots of windows.The staff check on us often, keep the room clean, replenished the ice and made sure we had coffee. The food there is to die for! We have never been disappointed in any of our meals. The staff is pleasant, professional and attentive. The rooms are quaint, clean, comfortable and pleasant to be in. If you get a chance to go to glen Ella go, you will not regret it!
