The Dorn family mementos offer

guests a glimpse of Glendorn’s

heritage.

he Lodge at Glendorn is a family story. It began when C.G. Dorn, fondly known as Bondieu,

purchased the property in 1927 as a retreat for his growing family. After decades of

unforgettable vacations and celebrations, the close-knit family opened this special private

retreat to the public in 1995. Guests experiencing Glendorn fell in love with its character and beauty. Two

of those guests were Cliff and Tracy Forrest.

In the fall of 2009 the Dorn family put Glendorn up for auction. The property was divided into parcels in

an effort to derive the highest value. The expectation was timber companies would purchase the forest

land and the lodge and cottages would be sold separately. However, the Forrests, believing Glendorn to be

so special and unique, purchased every parcel to preserve the beautiful forests and great history.

Today The Lodge at Glendorn is better than ever. The Forrest goal is to continue and build on the tradition

of Glendorn being superior in all aspects as a luxury, rustic retreat for people to relax and rejuvenate.
