格倫艾拉溫泉飯店及餐廳

My husband and I booked this hotel as part of a long weekend of hiking in Tallulah Gorge. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfy, and cozy. We were surprised at how great the restaurant was - varied dinner menu with a better than expected wine list. The servers were all kind, personable and professional. Overall a great choice.

Such a beautiful Inn. Grounds are amazing, and the restaurant is incredible. Our dinner was spectacular. Breakfast is included in the stay and was just lovely. We had the pool to ourselves and it was very nice. This is a peaceful getaway with a lot of finesse in the details.

We stayed here one night as part of a 3 week USA road trip. This was one of 3 historic properties we stayed in, all very different in quality and character. The setting is beautiful with charming gardens a large lawn area, beautiful outdoor dining patio and pool area. Our drive to the hotel was down quite a long unpaved dirt road. We weren't sure whether there was another way to get to the hotel on sealed roads but we would recommend this if possible as the car and windows were covered in dust when we arrived and after we left. We had a rear facing room at the end which had clearly been thoughtfully furnished with higher end furniture. The room and bathroom were small but perfectly functional and spotlessly clean. We managed a quick swim in the pool (which closes at 6pm) and dined in the outside patio area of the restaurant. The food and wine were excellent although the service was a bit lack-lustre and we had to ask for water twice and our empty plates were left for some time. The only disappointment for us was being unable to enjoy the full breakfast. Breakfast isn't served until 8:30 which is really too late if you are planning an outing or en-route elsewhere, especially in summer. We did ask if we could get an earlier breakfast and as there was another group leaving at 8:00 we were offered a tray in the room at that time. The breakfast was nice with small pots of granola, yoghurt, juice, coffee and a hot muffin. It was just a shame we could have enjoyed the full breakfast included in the rate. The owners do a great job with the hotel which is borne out by the fact the hotel is so popular despite its quite remote location.

A quiet getaway with friendly staff and an outstanding breakfast service. If you plan to visit the falls it's a perfect stay. Make sure you use the jacuzzi tub and use their bath salts. The information and food in the falls package is worth the price. Great start to a honeymoon!

10 Star! First, the establishment is beautiful. The attention to detail is noted from the minute you pull up. The landscaping is impeccable, the rooms are exceptionally white glove quality with added touches of homemade treats, the pool/deck clean as fresh rain, the courtyard from the restaurant breathtaking, the culinary experience exquisite. Second, the Inn Keepers, Ed & Luci Kivett are true angels. We came in via motorcycle and unfortunately the bike slipped when we were turning it around and I suffered a wrist injury. Ed graciously drove us into town and waited with us at Urgent Care to drive us back. Luci held our dinner, which was beyond incredible. This is truly a hidden gem. Tranquil and beautiful. It definitely is worth the stay.

How does a 140 year old primitive setting rate five stars for rooms, ~ by the attention to detail in leaving history intact as much as possible, but with thoughtful efforts in providing reasonable backwoods comfort. Having an owner helping out with services and letting his staff run the show was most classy. The owners surely know 'what sells' and have truly thought out their accommodations, restaurant menus and bare necessity entertainment options (wi-fi, pool, directions to Northeast Georgia attritions, etc.), but I would hope two items could possibly be addressed: wine and coffee. The wine options listed were comfortable except for the lack of representative Georgia wines. Some nearby local wineries, other than the commercial Helen, GA examples, would truly enhance the Glen-Ella Springs experience. Why not list wines from Stonewall Creek (Tiger, GA), exceptional wines from Crane Creek (Young Harris, GA), etc. Needed is a guide/map for a day tour of wineries/vineyards. Let me add, the last breakfast before leaving the premises should be memorable. The breakfast option(s) almost completed this, except for the lukewarm, non-descript coffee. Take a page out of the coffee served along Virginia's Skyline Drive lodges with a never to be forgotten 'Roar' (restaurant available brand) coffee. We will be back in any case since the owners left, thoughtfully, a 'professional' corkscrew opener in the room for guest to enjoy their own wines or that which may have been purchased from the Inn. Note: personal wines are not allowed in the restaurant during meal time.
