Guest Reviews

My wife and I recently stayed at the Glenlaurel for the first time and we had a fantastic time! We stayed in the Bruce and absolutely loved it. We spent time meeting other couples during the social hour and then had the 6 course beef dinner which was amazing! There are a number of small walking/hiking trails around the Inn as well. We came home and were already talking...See More

The accommodations are first class! We stayed in the Muir Cottage. The hiking trails on the property are awesome! The staff, and Innkeeper Melissa are very engaged, professional, and very accommodating!!! The three course breakfast that is included with our stay was incredible! We look forward to booking at Glen Laurel for our future trip's to Hocking Hill's.

- Doug Roop

This is a well-kept secret getaway. I go nearly every year for my birthday. The accommodations are awesome. The people are all wonderful. The hiking trail on the property is magnificent. Jean Michel is the head chef who hosts an all-around memorable experience. The seven-course meal is unforgettable.

- Al West Jr.

Could not have picked a better place for my wife's 60th b-day surprise celebration with friends. We were looking for something relaxing, quaint and different. Glenlaurel exceeded that by a mile! Great intimate Scottish Inn with cottages and friendly staff. Glad the weather improved to hike the on-site trail and gorge, which are like a mini Hocking Hills without the crowds. Definitely enjoyed social hour at the bar before...See More

I am truly shocked anyone could give Glenlaurel less than 5 stars. It's a special place for us and we return year after year. The food is phenomenal made by a true culinary expert. The cabins are very nice and clean. The property is really something to see as well. The onsite hiking is worthy of being a state park. We are excited to stay again.
