Under new ownership, this previous 5 star, top 5% short term rental - The Alpine Cottage is a peaceful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 1754 square foot retreat at 3,994-foot elevation, ideal for family, couples or a solo get away featuring a superb location close to everything. The property offers picturesque mountain views from 3 decks where you can take in the spectacular early morning sunrise over our gourmet coffee or relax with a glass of wine while watching the deer.

Very cute and comfortable house with great views and wonderful porches to sit on and enjoy the outside. Close to everything and a very responsive manager.
We had an amazing stay! The cabin was exactly as pictured. When we walked in we were greeted with a lit Christmas tree that just set the setting of the cozy cabin. The rooms were great for our family, the living room was cozy to hang out in, and the kitchen was perfect. We felt comfortable the whole time we stayed. The host was amazing to work with and communicated back to any questions I had and offered suggestions on things to do and places to eat/visit. We would definitely stay again!
