Raising a child is one of the most rewarding experiences in life, but sometimes, it can be nice to get away as a couple. Glasbern Inn in Fogelsville is one of our favorite places to get away and spend some quality one-on-one time with our spouses. This is much more than a hotel, and features include a world-class spa, excellent restaurant, and picturesque scenery. If you’re looking for a weekend away from the kids in an idyllic location, our Allentown adoption agents highly recommend a stay at the Glasbern Inn. Some of the reasons why we love it there so much include:
Romantic Settings
Glasbern Inn is located on a former working farm, which today functions as a working sustainable farm. This makes for majestic views of gorgeous nature, which is perfect for romantic getaways with your spouse or significant other. The farm spans 150 acres and includes beautiful ponds, rolling hills, restored farmhouses, and converted barns. The Farmhouse suites offer unique rustic charms, including plank flooring, large beams, and gas fireplaces. Once you step foot on the property, you’ll quickly understand why Glasbern Inn is such a popular choice for a wedding venue. There’s even an outdoor wedding garden, and the Grand Lodge makes a fantastic setting for ceremonies and receptions.
Spa
Glasbern Inn boasts a world-class spa, which offers eight different packages. The spa is also designed with couples in mind and includes side-by-side tables which are perfect for couples’ massages. Spa packages available to guests include:
- Swedish/Traditional Massage
- Deep Muscle Massage
- Lomi Lomi Massage
- Hot Stone Massage
- Pregnancy Massage

Dining
Glasbern Inn offers a large dinner menu, along with a complimentary breakfast for their guests. All of their food is also considered sustainable local production, which means it’s primarily sourced from local locations. Many of their produce comes directly from their own farm. Fresh herbs and garden greens are grown in their greenhouse, which guarantees maximum freshness.
Some of our favorite dishes from the Main Dining Room at Glasbern Inn include:
- Grass-fed beef tenderloin
- Housemade meatloaf
- Pear and arugula salad
- Pecan-crusted New York striped bass
- Seared Jurgielewics & Son duck breast
You can enjoy these and many other dishes in a beautiful converted 19th-century barn, which includes 28-foot cathedral ceilings, exposed original beams, and fieldstone walls.
