The space
The Lodge is recently updated, very modern, and spacious. We love the waterfront patio and great room. This cottage is centrally located to many area attractions and is best for those looking to be steps from the pristine waterfront. While we take a great deal of care for the cottage at Alpine Resort, if you're seeking a perfect flawless place or are super high maintenance this is not the place for you. The location is beautiful; there is a seasonal breakfast/lunch diner, public beach, and jungle gym right across the street. This place is perfect for groups and families looking to settle in for a while or just for a long weekend! We also have 4 kayaks, bikes, air hockey/foosball, garage area available for shared use!

Guests have access to all common areas; driveway area, yard around cabin, boardwalk/dock area, kayaks, bikes, air hockey/foosball, garage area.

-Note also that this is a resort with 4 separate buildings being rented however there is still plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the grounds, reference overhead photos if you have questions on layout.
-The property is also located on a busier road which does cause some daytime noise however we don’t feel it takes away from the location.

-The Jetty diner/campground store across the street! (seasonal)
-Beach/play structure across the street (seasonal)
-Grocery market/2 restaurants (one on waterfront/one pizza takeout)/gas station/ATM ~1 min drive
-Hit the Road Joe on Elm (likely passed on the way in) amazing pizza and breakfast call/plan ahead as they have limited hours

Fully adequate

Am I being tricked of having to give YOU a review, in order to see what your already written review of ME says....?? From the patio/dock areas, the views are wonderful. Matt the property manager was very responsive to our needs of toilet paper. He also had good phone skills, especially when giving us a heads up that his cleaning person was running 30-40 minutes late, and that we could still be there for our 4pm check-in but may need to wait until they were finished before we could go in... This hurrying of the cleaning crew might explain the dirty grill with 3 hot dogs on it. The other minor items were that some pots looked like they were put away dirty. But hey, overall we survived. Thanks, Roger

Fantastic views and accommodations with all the luxury you are needing.

This rental was the dream getaway that we all needed. I loved relaxing by the water every morning drinking my coffee and being able to hop into a kayak to play on the water whenever I felt like it. The house is so spacious, there was no being "on top of each other" at all. We had fun riding bikes and fishing. It was a vacation we all totally relaxed and took it all in. We would love to rent the lodge again!

About the host

Hosted by Brandon

We refer to ourselves as the Grandski's which is a combination of our last names. Brandon and Becca, Matt and Katie are the owners and good friends. We love to enjoy the property with our large families when it is not being hosted to our valued guests! We have a desire to provide a well rounded experience to all our guests that would suit our families as well. We aim to treat others as we would want to be treated and live out our Christian faith through the hospitality of this property.

Why they chose this property

We will always be a text or call away if any issues arise. Please note we just purchased the Alpine Resort and put it on VRBO so although the resort has been around for many years it is fresh to VRBO so our reviews are minimal. Google Alpine Resort to see our google reviews until we are able to get some awesome 5-stars reviews from our first VRBO'ers!
