🌟 Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“Ski-in, ski-out doesn’t get better than this—fireplace was a dream after the slopes!” – Katie

“Spotless, cozy, and perfect for our winter weekend.” – Jason

“Loved the location, views, and hot tubs—can’t wait to come back!” – Emily



🛏️ BEDROOMS:

Relax and recharge in two cozy, thoughtfully decorated bedrooms, each with a queen bed, reading lamps, and soft linens. Wake up to the sight of snow-covered trees and gentle mountain light. Ideal for couples, friends, or small families.

🛁 BATHROOMS:

Enjoy a sparkling clean full bathroom with modern fixtures, shower/tub combo, and a convenient half bath on the main floor. We provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, and a hair dryer—just bring your suitcase!

🍳 KITCHEN & LIVING AREA:

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for breakfast before the slopes or dinner après-ski—stainless appliances, microwave, cookware, and more. The living area invites you to relax with a warm fire, smart TV, and a good book or board game.

🌲 OUTDOOR SPACE:

Step out onto your private deck to breathe in crisp mountain air, fire up the grill, or gaze at the stars. Two shared hot tubs on the property are perfect for unwinding after a long day on the trails or slopes.

🚪 GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have exclusive access to the entire villa via a private entrance and keyless check-in for ease and flexibility. Free on-site parking is available directly outside. The hot tubs are shared among Alpen Villas guests and professionally maintained.



This is the coziest slopeside spot in all of the Upper Peninsula! Stay at Alpen Villas #2 – a mid-century inspired mountain getaway designed for adventure, relaxation, and memory-making.



Other Things to Note:

✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.



Warm regards,

Jake

Fun Ski Weekend

This place was great! It had everything we needed which was super convenient. The hot tub and arcade table were also really fun after skiing.

Campanelli girls

I book a ski trip for the last 5 years to Powderhorn with my daughters.This trip was extra special, my father just passed away a week before this trip. I decided to go on the trip still to find peace and cope with loss. It was a start of someone I lost so special to me. This trip I will not forget.

As advertised

Property is old/dated, but right on the hill for easy ski in and out. Hot tub is small and shared with neighboring condo, rotate each hour (although not as bad as it sounds). Bunk bed and queen bed for the kids all in one room. Queen bed in another bedroom. Pull out couch in the living room for 1 or 2 more (the pull out couch is in brutal shape, very old, springs are weak so you feel every bar, nasty bed coverings on it). Lots of wood for the fire place. Kitchen is well stocked with basic cooking needs. My only complaint is the age and discomfort of the pull out couch and the lack of clean bedding for it. Next time I'll bring an air matteress and my own bedding.
