simply summer
Summer is one of our favorite times. The rituals of summer are what make Westglow such
an exceptional place to visit, whether it’s our Fourth of July Extravaganza, hiking some
of the most scenic trails in the Blue Ridge Mountains or long summer afternoons enjoying
the gentle sway of a hammock. We look forward to welcoming you this summer.
Our guests are our tradition; plan your visit and create a tradition of your own!
Love Downton Abbey? Have the Entire Mansion to Yourself!
We’re obsessed with PBS’s Downton Abbey. Not only is the story-line so enthralling, the sets and interiors tell
such a rich and beautiful story on their own, we wish we could step through the screen and sink into the velvet
sofas, drink tea from a highly polished cup, choose a book from Lord Grantham’s library or roll dough in
Mrs. Patmore’s kitchen. We also watch because Crawley life looks, well, kind of fun.
We all have a “yearning” to see that upstairs way of life. We all want to live that dream. At Westglow, everyone can
experience what it’s like to live like royalty, even if it’s just for a night.
Westglow is a private estate built by Elliott Daingerfield a century ago as his family’s private summer home.
Elegantly and stylishly decorated with rich, warm colors, fine antiques and fresh flowers, there is a peaceful
ambience which will immediately make you feel at ease.
On behalf of the staff at Westglow and someone who loves Downton Abby, we are ready to assist you around the
clock. Whether beds showered in rose petals or a hot claw foot tub complete with champagne cooling bedside,
Westglow Resort & Spa has the “know how” when it comes to pleasing its guests.
As a guest of Westglow, you’ll be ensconced in 42 acres of breathtaking mountain vistas, brilliant sunrises,
and romantic sunsets. The days unfold at your leisure and the staff anticipates your every desire. Every meal
is an event; every day an adventure.
Book your getaway to Westglow and live it up like Downton Abbey, after all you deserve it.

WESTGLOW RATED #20 OF AMERICA’S TOP 25 SMALL HOTELS
TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site announced the winners of its 2013 Travelers’ Choice awards. TripAdvisor recognizes the most
outstanding properties based on the feedback from those who really matter: their guests. Westglow is honored to be included among
the Top 25 Small Hotels.
“World Class Resort” & “There are not enough good things to say about the Westglow. The spa is without peer. Rowland’s restaurant is
excellent with impeccable service. The staff is very friendly and genuinely care about your experience.”
A few weeks ago, I did something I rarely do-I sat down and watched
three full hours of television. I tuned in to the airing of MAKERS
a powerful documentary about “women who make America”.
following the
footsteps
of a woman
written by Linda Barbash,
Marketing Director
This body of work features a woman whom I admire, Bonnie Schaefer. For those of you that don’t know this remarkable
woman, Bonnie is the former CEO and co-chairwoman of the board of Claire’s Stores and current owner of the Relais
& Chateaux property Westglow Resort & Spa.
I truly admire Bonnie’s ability to prove herself as a business leader in the male-dominate corporate world. She made
her way in a man’s world, and by her own rules. She took the opportunities life offered her, and blazed a trail for all
women in business.
Bonnie joins a prestigious group of ground breakers. The documentary and accompanying website features interviews
of extraordinary women who’ve made history – figures such as Gloria Steinem, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Walters, Ellen
DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and many others.
Bonnie shares what was expected of women growing up,
and reminisces on being a girl growing up in the 50’s
with the message to get married and have children. She
talked about her journey to become a successful business
woman, the strength Gloria Steinem’s influence gave her,
and rising from the bottom-up to become CEO of Claire’s.
I truly hope you watch the film.
I am so proud that MAKERS.com shares Bonnie’s story.
Her interview is inspiring, humbling and, personal.
There is so much I admire about her.
Bonnie, in so many ways defines the MAKERS woman. She keeps fighting for what’s right, and her devotion to improving
the quality of life for others is reflected in her multitude of philanthropic and humanitarian projects across the globe
and in her own community in the High Country. Bonnie is a testament of the importance of one woman, who makes
a difference in both her local communities and the nation.
This is the kind of film that makes you live life differently. I am so grateful for the many women, past and present, who
fearlessly stood and still stand on the field – demanding equality and that their voices be heard. Empowering women to
become self-sufficient, stand tall, seek solutions and to live brave lives of impact. In the end, it’s all about women raising
women to another dimension.
