Have stayed at various houses in Alpine over the years. This was a nice size and had everything we needed.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2025
If you want a real getaway weekend this is the place for you. You need to be prepared to travel on some backroads but once you get to Alpine Lake it is beautiful. The internet was out almost our entire weekend and I did report to the management three times without hearing back from them. The beds were very comfortable kitchen was stocked just okay in my opinion. We appreciated the cleanliness. The steps leading into the cabin are steep and it was pouring down rain when we got there so they are very slippery so that could be hazardous. The smoke alarm in the basement was removed and laying on a table. I did contact them right away about that and they were to come over the next day with batteries but that never happened. The cabin is stocked with lots of games and our children enjoyed those. The DVD player in the main family room did not work. We had a nice weekend but overall it could have been better.
