    Just finished staying at Alpine View. Location was great as it is out of town by 5 min. Quite and a nice place to unwind after a long day. Was looking forward to the hot tub but found out there is none. Pictures used in write up are from the previous owner. Breakfast was nothing to write home about.…

    Expedia Verified Review…
    5 out of 5
    Super nice property, everything is very up to date. Property is close enough to the town center and "the lone tree", everything is within walking distance (public parking is free, it is one of the nice things in town). The wash machine included in the appartment came in very handy, especially if you are on the road trip for many days. The only thing could use a little improvement is that the dishes in the appartment were not necessary clean (one of the wine glasses still had lipstick print on it and one of the coffee cups had old stain on it). However, overall we enjoyed our stay a lot.…
