The Glenfiddich House

The Glenfiddich House is a completely renovated sixteen-room antebellum home, which historically hosted Generals “Stonewall” Jackson and Robert E. Lee. Lee’s horse, “Traveller,” was stabled at the rear of the house. In addition, James Dickey lived here while writing his manuscript Deliverance. Originally called“Harrison Hall” after its builder and first owner, Henry T. Harrison, the house served as a headquarters for the Confederate Army and as a temporary hospital during the Civil War.

The tranquil setting provides an excellent retreat environment for an individual to focus on personal and complex issues. The confidentiality and serene surroundings allow for a reflective focus on coaching processes. Along with our lodging and fine meals, our staff remains focused on providing a quality supportive approach. The Glenfiddich House has been noted to be an excellent example of Italian Renaissance architecture. The original section was built around 1780 and the newer (larger) section around 1840. Completely renovated in 1980, the house is equipped with the latest business technology, while the furnishings remain original to the period.
