History
The land company behind Glen Isle formed in 1899 on a 160-acre grant along the river, and the resort opened as a mountain retreat in 1901, when visitors arrived by train and walked from the depot to the lodge. The original owners built the lodge and several guest cabins, and the property stayed in the same family for generations until 2017, when it was sold to Greg and Mary Ruth Vincent, the current owners.
Disc Golf and Running at Glen Isle
The resort’s disc golf course brings players up the 285 corridor for a round in a river-valley setting, and tee times are booked by phone through the course. The grounds and the river corridor also make a scenic base for small races. The 285 Turkey Trot gathers here on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, giving mountain-town runners a holiday race close to home.
