Please forgive my imperfections! I am an original!
Please be patient while we are making a management transition. This is a learning curve for me. I have been in the restaurant business for 36 years so this is a bit different! LOLS! We are still working to get smart tv's throughout, updating curtains and updating bedding. We have been moving things around to increase your comfort in my beautiful lodge but it will take me some time!
Who would have thought this community would be what it is today!
I am so grateful to be a part of the Alpine Forest Retreat and my restaurant Aunt Sue's Chalet, 2 doors down. She was built in 1968!
There is so many things to do in the area located directly between Zion and Bryce National Parks!

Loved it! Worked well for our big group with so many different ages. It wasn’t quite as mountain lodge as we expected being nestled on the “main” street between other cabins and an ATV rental. But still we had a great time. We loved Mammoth Cave and Danelle was so personal and helpful. She even took our family picture!!!

Had a group of 28. Accommodated us all easily. Great things to do/see close by. Highly recommend

We appreciated the en-suite rooms for the adults and large upstairs rooms for the kids. Mammoth cave, Ice Cave, Cedar Breaks, and fishing are minutes away and were all big hits with kids and adults.

Pictures don’t tell the story

The lodge was not quite what we had thought it would be from the pictures, or lack of pictures. I had communicated back and forth with the owner several times with questions, she was quick to reply. I was disappointed when we got to the property to find in both upstairs bedrooms that you had to walk through one bedroom to access the next room. A good deep cleaning and a couple of days with a handy man would help bring the lodge to its previous glory.

Perfect for our large family!

Everyone had their own bedrooms and bathrooms and the dining was big enough for all 11 adults to play games comfortably. Very relaxing environment. Laureen made sure the fireplaces were all lit up for us when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay.

The BEST family vacation spot

This is the second year we have stayed at Charles and Laureens property, and it’s definitely not the last. We love that it fits the entire family, and that it’s right in the middle of the village. The house has everything you could ever need for a large family gathering. We look forward to this trip every year and we’re so happy we found this house!!

Great location and lodge for large family reunion!

We loved the lodge! Our family had the pleasure of staying at Alpine Forest Lodge for 3 nights. It was a total of 30 people, the guest rooms with their own bathrooms are great for a large group. We were greeted by the host who immediately made us feel right at home. The lodge met all our needs for our mini family reunion. Highly recommend this lodge for large gatherings. We truly enjoyed our stayed!

great gathering place!

This property was wonderful for gathering a big group. The back lawn was perfect for fun, games, and bonding. The central location was also awesome. We had a family reunion and most of the other properties didn't have enough parking or outdoor space to gather more than a few people -- this property had both. We had a great time in Duck Creek!
