About this property

The Alpenhof Lodge is like NO OTHER RENTAL in the area because:

LARGE OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACES – (Pavilion, Patio Area, Fireplace, Wood Fired Brick Oven, and Fire Pit)

- The OUTDOOR PAVILION has your group covered like no other rental around; stay sheltered and shaded under the roof of the 40ft x 35ft PAVILION, be comfortable while outside, no matter the weather! Where eating outside is always easy and convenient too!

- The PATIO is 4000 sq ft of open-air, stamped concrete…so, so much space to socialize!

- The OUTDOOR FIREPLACE is located under the cover of the PAVILION. You can build a fire and gather, rain or shine…and even in the snow!

- The OUTDOOR WOOD FIRED BRICK OVEN is located in the PAVILION; have a pizza cook-off competition and be rewarded by eating your own creation!...a big hit with kids and adults alike!

- The FIRE PIT is located on the PATIO, just a few feet from the PAVILION; built a fire and gather under the night-sky!

LARGE INDOOR GATHERING SPACES – (Social Hall and open-concept Kitchen/Bar Area/Living Room)

- The SOCIAL HALL is located on the 2nd floor. This great, big open space has a vaulted/rustic ceiling, with exposed rough-cut timber and massive windows; in the winter you can see Seven Spring’s Northface Slopes all lit up in the distance! The SOCIAL HALL also has billiard table and plenty of seating and lots of potential for fun!

- The KITCHEN is fully equipped. Seating and prep areas are plentiful. There is a huge commercial oven (6 large cast-iron burners, 2 ovens that hold commercial-full-sized cooking trays and a large stainless-steel griddle for mass production of pancakes and eggs!) A chef’s dream, especially when cooking for groups!

- The BAR AREA had a kegerator with 2 taps and an extra refrigeration space to store food and drinks.

- The LIVING AREA has a 22 ft H x 11ft W stone fireplace, sofas and TV too, of course!

What else does the Alpenhof Lodge have? Uniqueness, elements of authentic old-school lodge character and updated throughout! Check out the pictures, this is no ordinary house! A stay at the Alpenhof Lodge is an experience, where great times are had and memories are created!

The space was exactly as described – clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated.

The space was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and with easy access to public transportation. I especially loved the thoughtful little touches, like fresh linens and a stocked kitchen. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay

Great place for group gatherings

We held a company meeting and the space was perfect, plenty of space to spread out and not feel like you were on top of each other. The only minor downside was the parking. The lots were plowed and easy to locate, but if parking in the lower upper lot I'd recommend four wheel drive. We also saw about a foot of snow over the stay for context. Its an easy drive to the ski resorts which was a bonus.

Cozy Lodge

Cozy and spacious property very close to the Seven Springs Resort. Perfect for large families/ groups - ample bedrooms, bathrooms, seating and kitchen space. We cooked while we were there and could have used more than one large stock pot. Otherwise, a great time was had by all.

Wedding weekend

The lodge was conveniently located not far from our daughter’s wedding venue and housed the bride and groom’s family as well as the bridal party nicely. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. It was a great place to hold the rehearsal dinner and the after party following the reception.

An absolute blast

We loved our time here. There was more than enough space for our large group. The patio area was unbelievable. The kitchen had everything a large group would need and then some. The bathrooms and bedrooms were great! Highly recommend this place for a golf trip or bachelor party!

Great property for family gatherings!

We had a pretty large group of family with a good mix of adults and children coming for a family reunion of sorts. We were very happy to find a property that fit our group. The accommodation was very comfortable with enough bedrooms and space for all the guests to spread out and enjoy. The outside pavilion and firepit area offered ample space for everyone to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The surrounding areas had plenty of outdoor activities like hiking and biking. All in all, our family enjoyed a great weekend!

Perfect for large groups!

This place is legendary! The owner has done such a great job in this recently renovated house and. There are so many things available in the house that make a huge difference like the full dance floor, plenty of seating, and the serving equipment for large food trays. This place rocks!

Decor like you've never seen, but clean.

Especially nice kitchen, bathrooms, dining areas, large group areas for parties, in our case young cousin play. Very clean. Great outdoor area for eating, fires, play. If I had a complaint it would be that most bedrooms are too small to keep a suitcase out. I was glad we had a couple of rooms that were not used for sleeping because we needed the space to get ourselves ready for a wedding. Otherwise, great family fun in a very friendly State!

Super property for a large gathering

This property fit our group of 12 men very, very well. Spacious enough to give everyone some privacy, but also with common areas that were nice gathering-places for the entire group. The home was clean and well cared for, and the owner was responsive to inquiries. If we are in the area again in the future, we WILL stay here again

Great location for family get together

The Alpenhof was a fantastic lodge for our large family. It was very clean and comfortable and central to a lot of activities. We LOVED the covered patio with fireplace especially since it rained one night. The upper area was also handicapped accessible which was very helpful. The rooms and bathrooms have all been renovated and are even nicer than the photos online. The owner was quick with responses and very helpful. We definitely hope to return!

A wonderful weekend

Mr. Hof has a beautiful and well maintained property. My group of 15+ had a great time and more than enough room to spread out. The wildfire grill and huge fire pit were some of the highlights. Inside the house, everything worked and the beds were comfy. We would return in a heartbeat. One item of note, we purchased wood for fires from the vendor recommended by the owner but his prices were not cheap ($60 for one day of wood) but the wood was dry and delivered right to the house so you're paying for the ease. 10/10

Great Place for a Large Group

We had a large group of 24 guys stay here for our annual golf outing. This place was perfect. The large outdoor area was awesome to socialize and have fires. There was plenty of parking to accommodate all of the out of towners traveling in from multiple states. It was only 3 miles from the golf course. Mr. Hof was very responsive and accommodating for our group. Would 100% stay here again.
