Wooded Glen

Each time I've visited Wooden Glen, it's been for a work meeting. On my last trip, I spent the night. From Louisville it's less than an hour drive, off the Henryville exit and down a curvy neighborhood road. While a scenic drive on a nice day, it was a little nerve-racking in the early morning. No sunlight and rain. The road isn't well lit and I had to use my brights, plus drive more in the middle of the road. On the path to the retreat center, you'll also drive through a covered wooden bridge made for only 1 car at a time. Check in was fast. About 50 rooms with double beds sit next to the main building and you can walk a long hall inside to avoid bad weather. The main building contains meeting rooms, eating area and a loft with snacks, pool table and a couple of arcade games. The loft is a favorite spot during meeting breaks - jars of candy, chips and ice cream. Plus, who doesn't love a free game of Ms Pacific Man?Our trip included all 3 meals and for the most part, decent. The employees there are very attentive, clearing plates from the tables. It's nice to not worry about bringing in food or having to leave and visit a restaurant. Wooden Glen has a great deck outside with several tables, giving your group another spot for meetings or eating. In nicer weather you'd have areas for walking and I believe they also offer a team building area.The rooms are large. I appreciated the sink outside the full bath and small patio outside each room for enjoying coffee. The bed wasn't comfortable - felt outdated and had a weak mattress. Everything was very clean though.The outdated feeling carries through to each gathering area near the rooms. Each have couches and chairs, sometimes a fire place or kitchen area. It's a large spot to have a party. Again, very clean but it would be nice to have new furniture.Service has been great at Wooded Glen, and this has been consistent with every visit. It's a great spot for work retreats or a large family gathering. Or, if you just needed a quiet spot to be alone, it would serve that purpose.

Running out the door you hear the screen door slam. That sound brought me back to my childhood. And that's exactly what my experience at Wooded Glen provided. Screen door and all! We had a retreat here for work which included 22 of us. We made this place our home, classroom, and our playground for 3 days! This is located about 35 minutes from downtown Louisville. Once you entered the property you are entering a place ofTranquility and peace. During our time here every need was taken care of. We had amazing foodFor each meal, snacks and drinks too! The day before we left we had Team building activities. Shaun and Amy led our groups through multiple events. These team building events were challenging and incredible. They created such an amazing and unique experience! The resort has hotel style rooms, volleyball court, horse shoes, walking trails, fire pits, and more! Can't wait to visit again!

We hold our local fire department and my husband's work Christmas parties here. Always the same menu and always excited to eat their food. We look forward to being treated to a great meal back to back, Friday and Saturday evenings in December. They always greet you at the door from the desk and smile and wave goodbye as you exit for the night. It's the little things that make such a huge impact. The deco is adorable and reminds you of a lodge in the middle of a Tennessee National Forest. Outdoor fire pit and seating looks nice, but it's always to cold to try it out. Maybe if the firepit was prelit?Guests can be dropped off at the main entrance and parking is abundant.

While my first impression somewhat felt uncomfortable with the place, the service surprised me with great customer service and always available resources with the cutest decor. Loved the place and my time there. A great weekend getaway with my group from school.
