Alpine House Lodge and Cottages

This little charming place is truly a jewel. Don't get me wrong, it is expensive for what they offer. But if you don't mind to pay more, you'll feel like home. The room was clean and looked very well taken care of.

The breakfast is the best one in the town. Highly recommened But, first we got a room without airconditioner and the room is really hot during the night, which is not match the price of the room. Also you need to do most of the service by yourself because there is no workers stay in the hotel.

I'll never go back... If you're a '60s hippie, this might be a perfect fit. To some, the quirkiness and eccentricities might seem attractive, but to me, they were just disappointing to the degree of extreme irritation. I had just come in from 12 hours of driving, and it was dark and drizzling outside. The last thing I wanted was to find the front desk abandoned and the door locked. There is a sign on the door that says to call some other place, and the manager will walk over and open the door. I didn't have my glasses on, so I couldn't read the sign. It took a good half hour to finally get things figured out. I gained entrance to the hotel, and the staff bubbled about the amenities completely oblivious to my growing frustration. I didn't care about the amenities. The room was on the second floor, with no elevator and very narrow stairs. I'm almost 70, and had to drag my bags up the stairs. Not good at all. The room was quite small, very clean. The bed was horrible. It was like sleeping on a trampoline. Squeaky frames and bouncy bed. The sink didn't have any way to unstop it once it was stoppered other than to stick your hand down in the accumulated water, and push on the stopper. It popped back up. Why do I need to put my hand in soapy shave water, just to unstopper the sink? The staff said there would be coffee available. The carafe was empty. That really set me off. The one saving grace is that breakfast was fantastic. Cooked to order, and delicious.

Loved it. Cozy and idiosyncratic, comfortable. Only issue we had was that the front desk was closed when we arrived at 7pm and we had to call another hotel to have someone come over and check us in. Overall we loved it though, would stay again.

We have been going to alpine house every year for ten years. Our last trip- last weekend was very disappointing. They use to be known for fantastic chef prepared breakfasts. Fresh muffins, fruit and two or three gourmet entrees. The owners daughter would be in the dining room in the morning. Not now!!! No mo muffins or pastries, no more chef prepared entrees. No interaction with a server. Just a choice of eggs, bacon or poor quality pancakes. Afternoon cookies were only available on afternoon of the three nights we stayed.. So…. They have increased room rates significantly and lowered service to where it is no longer the special place we have been recommending to all our friends. Very disappointed.
