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
The owners will always be a text or call away if any issues arise. Google Alpine Resort to see our Google reviews as well!
What makes this property unique
We commonly have guests who say they "fell in love with our property and surrounding area". Whether it's the spotless and simple yet well-maintained accommodations, the sparkling water views, or the peace and serenity of getting away in the north woods yet still being central to dining and activities. We agree this property certainly holds a special place in our hearts and our hope is to share a piece of that with each new arrival!
