Glen Isle Resort

These are plain cabins with fireplaces, stove, frig and bath in a beautiful setting. There are no TV’s or WiFi. The lovely, quiet setting with trails, high pines and bubbling Platte River is a great place for natural beauty, fresh air and enjoying nature. This is not high end with lots of frills. It is a place with a fascinating history and I have enjoyed coming here for many years as a retreat to nature.

great way to spend in the mountains. Great family running the place. This is where I spend my summer vacations. Feels like home.

Our family (eight adults, two children) stayed at Glen Isle for four days this spring in two adjacent cabins. I am suprised by the negative review, because despite the lack of luxury, we all very much enjoyed the rustic charm of the place. The amenities were basic, but we were supplied with everything we needed — firewood, kitchen equipment, clean linens/​towels, etc. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend Glen Isle to friends looking for a cabin/​basic lodgings in the Bailey area. Many thanks to the owners for being able to accommodate our group on such short notice.

Um, No. I can’t recommend this place to anybody. I mean I stayed there with about 12 of some of the nicest people that I had ever just met and had a great time because of the company, but that was in spite of the accomodations. I think 20 years ago it may have been called quaint but it has slipped beyond that. If for some unthinkable reason you decide to stay there and there is snow on the road to your cabin, avoid at all costs the lower side of the road. It took took five of us and a Nissan 4-​wheel drive to extract a friend’s four-​wheel drive from the deep ditch on the side of the road. Take extra clothes or sleeping bags if it’s cold outside there too because the antiquated furnace couldn’t keep up with the single digit temps at night.
