Glen Isle originally built cabins in Bailey, for an escape from the hectic Denver. Once you cross the bridge into the resort, you’ll understand why it has served as peaceful getaway for over a century. The Platte River welcomes you and divides the property from Highway 285. If you love to fish, you have a mile of the river to use at your disposal. If hiking is your forte and you desire to explore nature, Glen Isle is surrounded by the National Forest, Lost Creek Wilderness, Payne Gulch Trailhead, the Colorado Trail and many private acres for you to explore.

Hi , My name is Angela and I used to live in Durango, Colorado from 1984 to 1986 with my parents and little sister. We loved Colorado but moved back to Washington state due to my father’s work. Both my parents have passed away, mom in 1996 and dad just a couple months ago. My dad’s name is Glen Bailey. He would have absolutely loved the whole idea …. town and building named after him. Thought this would be fun to reach out to you. I have told my husband that I would love for him to see Colorado with me. I really enjoy the Colorado rivers with the big boulders.

My favorite memory of living in Colorado is Glenisle: the peace, natural beauty, the hummingbirds and stream-and hot soup. And it is open!!! Can’t wait to visit.

Hello Shirley! Thanks for finding us online, and so sorry for the delayed response. All the things you mentioned are such a wonderful part of Glen Isle! I do hope you’ll come visit us! Have a wonderful holiday, and perhaps we will see you in 2019! 🙂

So happy to hear you have reopened! Is there horseback riding in the area? My parents stayed there in the late 60s and really enjoyed it even though mom apparently got bruised up a bit from being kicked by a horse! 🙂 Their anniversary is coming up soon so I’d like to book the whole family a room for the weekend. I wanted to book it for their 50th anniversary a few years ago but it was closed down. It would be great if there was still horseback riding in the area.
Glen Isle Resort
Hi Brian! Sorry for the delay in responding. Sounds like you have some good memories of Glen Isle, but I hate to hear your mom got kicked by a horse! Ouch! I grew up riding here in the 70’s and fortunately, no injuries. 🙂 We currently have our own horses here, who enjoy being visited by our guests. However, the closest riding stables are in Conifer, and near Fairplay. We would love to host your reunion, so please email me at: maryruth@glenisleresort.com I would love to help you!
