Our farm is home to two family-owned businesses -- Alpine Hills Swiss Farm and Country Pumpkins Fall Festival. Alpine Hills Swiss Farm has been in operation since 1947. Milk was sold commercially for many years, but is currently a small herd-share operation selling milk directly to herd share members.

Country Pumpkins is our annual fall festival that begins September and extends through the end of October with pumpkins, hayrides, corn mazes, and all the good, clean family fun you can imagine! We are offering free passes to Pumpkin Ridge for the families staying with us during these dates.

Absolutely beautiful cabin with a view you’ll never forget! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was so clean and cute and Mrs. Debbie was a gracious and wonderful host. If you have kids, this is the best place because they can get outside and play. We plan on vacationing here again.

This place was great, we were able to stay close to the ARK and not too far from the Creation museum. It was very clean and well maintained, and it was prefect for our family of 4 with plenty of room. The owners were very nice and accommodating. The kitchen and air conditioning were also very nice and we experienced no issues while visiting.

Debra was an amazing host. The little cabin was so cozy and clean. We stayed with our 3 kids for 3 nights and they enjoyed the scenery as well as the snacks. The kitchen has everything you need (other than sugar, creamer, salt and pepper, you may want to bring any condiments you need if you plan to make meals). So thankful to have found this gem close to the ark and about 40/45 minutes to the creation museum.

We enjoyed our stay. Very cute and cozy. Peaceful, beautiful sunsets. One thing I would recommend would be to put some lighting above the bathroom mirror and sink and also above the kitchen area as they were both very dark.

Slice of heaven. Peaceful setting and the accommodations were superb. Alpine Swiss was perfect for my husband and 2 daughters. They loved their own space and beds up in the loft. We utilized the washer and dryer as well which was great to have. We enjoyed our slow mornings and coffee on the porch. We were greeted every morning with cows to the right peering through the fence. Birds chirping and wonderful views. I enjoyed the simplicity of the kitchen, everything you need and well organized. Complimentary coffee was fantastic! AC and fans kept us cool, beds were comfortable with no complaints. Close proximity to Ark and Creation museum. Restaurant options not far either. Host was available by phone call if we needed anything or had questions. I would recommend this to anyone visiting local attractions.

This place was home away from home, very cozy and quiet with a beautiful view! It was very clean inside and out, with everything we needed there. It has a nice front yard for the kids to get out and run around or sit on the porch swing and watch the beautiful sunset! If ever given the chance, I would definitely stay here again!
