The Inn of Glen Haven

Mark Hantla

Very friendly and hospitable owners make for a welcoming experience. The food is exceptional! Best trout I’ve ever had. The rooms are Victorian in style and the small hotel has a bar, lounge, a parlor, and the restaurant. The overall effect is that the Inn of Glen Haven offers a charming and friendly atmosphere and a surprisingly good dining experience. If you’re looking for a unique place away from the tourism of Estes Park, give it a try.

This is a beautifully decorated hidden gem near Estes Park Colorado. The couple who own the Inn are very nice and helpful. Although we did not get to eat at the restaurant while we were there it looked like it would’ve been an amazing meal. I would stay here again 100%.

Our family enjoyed a meal July 2024 at the Inn. As self-proclaimed “foodies,” we were thrilled beyond expectations. We have spent summers in Estes for over 40 years and feel this is a hidden gem not to be overlooked. Granted, there are many more fine dining options now than ever before in the area, but this may top them all. The ambiance, the owners, the service and the food were first rate. Two of us had the trout while another had the salmon in puff pastry and the last of us had the fettuccine - all superb. Don’t miss the flourless chocolate cake. As all prices in the region have increased greatly post-COVID, the Inn is not inexpensive, But, unlike other restaurants, salad, bread, and other items are part of the meal price. The wine list was credible and the prices and pours were to our liking versus other places in town who have almost priced themselves above the market. In summary, the drive is worth it. Visit soon before others uncover this surprise and tables will be hard to come by.

This is the 2nd time I have spent the weekend at the Inn of Glen Haven. The town of Glen Haven is small and peaceful. The Inn is relaxing, warm and pleasant. Each room in the Inn is themed and Chris and Emma have done such a great job of decorating. Each day of the stay, I was discovering new things on the walls and on the shelves - delightful. Chris and Emma are such attentive and warm hosts. They were interested in our experience and always asking if there was anything they could do to assist.

My wife and I had Valentine's dinner here, and it was the finest dining experience I've had in years. The food (fantastic prime rib, my wife had the excellent duck) was exquisite, the service the same great combination of professionalism and small town friendliness we always see here. And the ambiance was perfect for our Valentine's Day Date. The food and service would have made our Valentine's evening a memorable one, but they also had Tim Mclemore on the piano. The acoustics were great, and Tim's choice of tunes and his amazing, sophisticated playing was so wonderful that my wife and I spent 30 minutes after dinner sitting in the "living room" of the Inn listening to his magic. If you haven't been to this restaurant, and especially if you're looking for "the" restaurant for special occasions, you have to come up when they're serving off of their fine dining menu. During the winter they do great buffets and special meals, but their fine dining selections make every dinner here a great culinary experience. Our favorite restaurant out on the "flats" is Chimney Park in Windsor, and we consider this a much prettier setting with better ambience, a better menu (check it out), better service, and slightly better food. Thank You Glenn Haven for giving us someplace really specail to eat out. Pat Whalen Loveland CO
