History
The 4-story building housing The Glen Haven has had a varied and checkered past.  In early 1900  
it opened as a tearoom for wealthy ladies. During Prohibition, illegal whisky was served in what had
become a "Speakeasy". In the 1920’s,  it was converted to a guest house named the Rest Haven.  
In the later 1940’s it became a tavern.  Today and for the past two decades, The Glen Haven is
known for serving great and innovative food in a relaxed lake atmosphere.

We’re Not Really a Hotel . . .So why are we known as one?
In order to qualify for a package liquor license in the 1940’s,  a former owner rented out a few
rooms.  He renamed the structure The Glen Haven Hotel, after the famous Glen Haven Hotel Resort
& Water Cure.   Although we still provide a full array of cocktails,  now only the owners live
upstairs.


Today at The Glen Haven
In 1980 Chris and Susan Beaudry purchased The Glen Haven in order to create their own tradition
of combining excellent cuisine with a casual lake atmosphere.  Each Spring Mary Ryan returns to
The Glen Haven kitchen with exciting new menu items and returning favorite entrees.  


A Summer Place . . .
Located on the waters of one of our nation’s cleanest lakes, The Glen Haven evokes feelings from
years past.  You’ll take a relaxing trip back in time while you enjoy the traditions of fine dining and
attentive service in a casual atmosphere.  For generations this restaurant has served as a gathering
place for the families who summer along the lake and visitors from all over the world.

The Glen Haven is now known  for its friendly tavern, extensive wine selection & creative cuisine.  


By boat or by car . . .
You’ll discover that not much has changed in the past few generations.  The wooden Chris Crafts
