格倫戈登莊園飯店

The service and food were first class all the way. Each of the staff members we encountered were friendly and welcoming. The Chef prepared. Five course tasting menu that rivals the finest Retaurants in the country. Would recommend a stay here.

Imagine for a moment entering a romantic hunting lodge from the early part of the 1900’s. Now imagine a modern and classy version of that same lodge. That’s what you get with the Glen Gordon Manor, an elegant, luxurious, and romantic inn and restaurant in the heart of the Shenandoah. We were welcomed warmly by the restaurant manager, Scott, with two glasses of champagne. He gave us a full tour of the property and than showed us to our room. We stayed in the Fyvie room, a detached property within walking distance of the main inn. What made this room amazing, was the large opulent bathroom with a huge soaking tub that fits two people perfectly. We spent practically all afternoon and the following morning in that tub, which felt like a day spa. In addition to the tub, the room featured a bidet, as well as a Sonos surround sound system, which allowed us to play music while relaxing in the room. To finish off the experience, the room featured a private patio overlooking the fields. It was the perfect spot to enjoy an early morning coffee or relax with a book. To enhance our stay, we booked a couples massage, in their newly renovated converted barn spa. The spa featured a massage room, a small advanced fitness center, including a Peloton. The massages were so peaceful and truly enhanced this luxurious and romantic stay. My wife said that the massage truly made her birthday weekend special. And finally, the grand finale, a fine dining experience at the Houndstooth restaurant by chef and owner Dayn Smith. The onsite restaurant is a super intimate candlelit space. We enjoyed a five course tasting menu along with a bottle of local wine. We were more and more impressed with each course that came out. What truly stood out, was the fall squash ravioli and deconstructed halloween dessert. The best part of the dining experience, was the head chef and owners family all worked together to create this experience. His son, Colin, was even one of our servers and was telling us all about his life growing up in restaurants and his future culinary journey. Along with his son, the rest of the staff were absolutely outstanding in service, personality and attention to detail. Even breakfast was unbeatable. The property has free range chickens walking around, which serve as a source of fresh eggs for the morning breakfast. My partner quickly became best friends with the rooster, who likes the left over bread from the previous evenings dinner. We have eaten at many top restaurants in the world and this was surely one of the best dining experiences that we have ever had. So much so, that Patrick O'Connell from the Inn at Little Washington, frequents the establishment… on his rare days off. One thing to note about this property, was it’s close proximity to some of Virginia’s best wineries and small towns. This makes for a perfect day outing before returning to the inn and relaxing. We highly recommend this inn and restaurant if you are looking to celebrate a special occ

Glen Gordon is quite charming, as promised. The land is beautiful and we enjoyed being close to a generous-sized chicken pen (probably the luckiest chickens alive) as well as 3 beautiful horses. Our couples' massage was perfect and dinner was delicious. We stayed in The Windsor Room which is quite nice. That said, we wished for: A full length mirror, a safe, a makeup/shaving mirror, bathrobes and a telephone with which to call "the front desk" for a fly swatter. We had 3 flies in the room with us, and I only managed to kill 2 with a sandal. We arrived early for dinner and were seated right away. Being early, we chose to order pre-dinner cocktails. Unfortunately, we received them just 2 minutes before the waitress insisted on serving our salads. I think they may be a bit "understaffed" there. Also, as we left the building that evening, we both stumbled where the pavement meets the driveway. There is a step down which was totally in the dark. Not good. All in all, I'd say it's a lovely spot with excellent service. It does have its quirks though, so I give it 4 stars, not 5.

A truly lovely place, great food and staff is wonderful-calm, quiet beautiful views. Two things that jumped out at us that was a bit of a disappointment and surprised us - we had the room with the outside private hot tub - the private patio had several bees nests active in the space and the outside table and chairs were unusable because they were splintering - the hairdryer was sticky and visually dirty. For the price I expected these items to be as nice as everything else. We’ll come again-but maybe stay in another space.

This past weekend my wife and I stayed at the Glen Gordon Manor to celebrate our 31st anniversary and my retirement. The Glen Gordon was recommended to us by friends that had been there before and it turned out to be a perfect recommendation. Upon arriving we were greeted by Madison who took wonderful care of our check-in, gave us a champagne tour of the Manor and introduced us to several of the very free range chickens that run around outside of the main sitting room. We hadn’t had a chance to stop for lunch so Madison asked the chef if he could make us a couple of sandwiches which he graciously did and she delivered them to our cabin shortly after. We stayed in the Kenmure room which was perfect for us. It is about a 50 yard walk up the hill from the main Manor with a stunning view of the mountains from the front porch. The next morning, coffee was delivered to our cottage by Rachana in Stainless Steel mugs that keep the temperature perfect while we got ready for breakfast. Breakfast both mornings was incredible. Fresh eggs from the chickens, combined with toast and roasted potatoes started our mornings out on a high note. The first morning we sat in the main sitting area and watched the chickens run around while the second morning we sat in the gallery lounge that overlooks the small pool. In the afternoon, after a visit to Rappahannock Cellars just a couple of miles down the road from the Manor, we had massages in the stables. The Masseuse was very strong for such a slight woman and really got into the always sore muscles of my back. Then came the premier event of the stay, the five course dinner in the Houndstooth Restaurant. Assisting us with the meal was Izzy who made an already special meal even more special with her charming personality and knowledge of the food and wine. We opted for the wine pairing with each course and loved them all. For courses we had Baby Beet Salad, Artichoke Soup, Aleppo Crusted Tuna Loin, Pan Roasted Salmon for me / Duo of Beef for my wife and a decadent Chocolate Caramel Dome as the final course. We took our time so we could make it to dessert and were never rushed. I was amazed when we went to leave and saw that we had been there for 2 ½ hours. It was truly an exquisite fine dining experience. I had high hopes based on recommendations and those hopes were completely exceeded. Rachana checked us out after breakfast the next morning and we took off on the hour long drive back to our town of Leesburg. It is so close to home and so nice not to have to fly to experience something as wonderful as the Manor. If you are celebrating a special occasion, I can’t think of a better place than the Glen Gordon Manor.

Glen Gordon Manor is hands down amazing every time. We ended up going last minute due to late flight arrivals and they were so helpful and accomodating. The beds are amazing and the food divine. It's a beautiful place to base your Shenandoah Trip or to escape DC for a long weekend.
