Once the home for the iconic Tahoe Steamer, Glenbrook has evolved through the ages, from the rustic charm of the 49ers to the refined elegance of the early 20th century, embodying the spirit of luxury and leisure with its historic golf course and the magnificent views of Shakespeare Rock. Today, Glenbrook stands as a testament to rustic elegance, offering a blend of exclusive resort-like experiences and a haven for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
