Sometimes wellness is not about a specific treatment or workout. Sometimes it is about going somewhere that lets you exhale. Glasbern Inn and Spa at 2141 Pack House Road in Fogelsville offers that kind of escape on 150 acres of land that has been a working farm since 1787.
The Property
The inn has 37 luxury rustic accommodations spread across the property, which holds a Historic Hotel of America designation. Walking trails wind through the acreage, passing through fields and forest that feel untouched by the 21st century. A seasonal outdoor heated pool and a 24-hour fitness center are available to guests. The spa services include deep-tissue massage and a menu of treatments that lean toward relaxation rather than clinical.
Farm to Table
The on-site restaurant serves locally sourced, pasture-to-plate dining. This is not a restaurant that claims farm to table as a marketing label. The food comes from the surrounding farms and the property itself. Eating a meal here after a walk through the trails and a massage is the kind of day that resets your entire perspective.
Close to Home
Fogelsville is just off Route 78, minutes from Allentown. You do not need to drive to the Poconos or fly to a destination resort to find a genuine retreat. Glasbern proves that the Lehigh Valley has its own version of getting away from it all, on land that has been here longer than the country itself.
