THE INN
The Glengarry was built in 1880 and has been a place for people to stay and gather ever since. The original 19th-century general store on the ground floor — untouched since the 1950s — now serves as an on-site museum that your group has exclusive access to. It's the kind of detail that turns a good stay into a story you tell for years.
Every room has been fully renovated to modern comfort standards while preserving the character of the original building. Self check-in via keypad — every guest gets their own code and can come and go independently.
