Great Place!

Me and five other Veterans that served together in the first Gulf war met up here with our motorcycles for a reunion to ride the roads of West Virginia and surrounding area. Mark was a great host and provided all the info that we needed. The cabin is in great shape and the gated community and resort is a beautiful area to stay. The cabin had everything that we needed and more than we expected. I highly recommend this cabin. Five Stars!!!

The house was very clean. The location was one house away from the lake and hiking trails. The kids enjoyed being on the lake and trails also. The appliances were all in good condition. Well stocked dishes, glasses and utensils The beds were very comfortable. Having a two car garage was very helpful. They had a new fire pit, clean gas grill available.

Beautiful place!!

Our stay was absolutely beautiful! The location is breathtaking and the home itself is very beautiful. They literally thought of everything we could need and everything was clean and organized! There was so much space and little things like a play-pin and lawn chairs were all provided. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful house

Quiet and peaceful location in a wonderful community with lake and small beach close to it. We also enjoyed the indoor pool and gym facilities. The vicinity to deep creek and wisp is about 25 mins so it was perfect to avoid commercial crowds while still be able to do all the activities our group wanted. House is massive and had a lot more facilities provided by the host than other houses I have rented ! The welcome basket was met with smiles especially from kids. Thank you for the wonderful house! We enjoyed our time there!

Lake House

Overall, our stay was great this past weekend. The house was very large and back deck was great for our large gathering. I think the landscaping and mowing needs more attention since very overgrown in the front. I don’t feel like the communication was great with the local rep but again the stay was a great time.

Family Vacation

My family and I had a wonderful time at Alpine Lake. The home is very nice and spacious. It sits on a wooded lot within a private neighborhood. There is plenty of living space to just hang out and enjoy family time. The outdoor area is also quite nice, including a large rear deck with a table for outdoor dining. The house is equipped with a fire pit and a couple grills to further enjoy being outside. The lake is just a short walk from the house and we enjoyed hiking around it. The cabin is located in Terra Alta, WV, a small, quiet town in upstate WV that is just a short drive from Maryland and Pennsylvania. There are many neat towns and attractions you can visit from there to further enjoy your stay. I suggest visiting Morgantown and the ski villages of Canaan and Snowshoe. Also, plan on visiting Blackwater Falls State Park. This was a very nice winter trip, maybe we can make it back for summer and enjoy the lake and golf course that are on the property.

Wonderful Time at Alpine Lake

Our family had a great time at Alpine Lake. This house is spacious and nicely designed to accommodate multiple families. It’s centrally located, and the surroundings are so peaceful and beautiful. We loved seeing deer with fawns in the yard and lightening bugs at night. We enjoyed dinner on the deck at Alpine Lake Resort lodge, swimming at the beach, hiking around the lake and the beautiful and challenging golf course. I would definitely go to Herrington Manor State Park for some additional beach and water fun. It’s close, clean and even has amazing lunch concessions. Swallows Falls State Park is another must see in the area for hiking and waterfalls. We also rented a pontoon boat at Deep Creek Lake, which is about ½ hour away, and did some tubing. We like to bring most of what we’ll need for the week. In this case Walmart is about ½ hour away. Not undoable – just good to know. One additional thing I may have packed would be baby gates since we had little ones and there are stairs. There is a pack and play, though, which was very appreciated. The Wi-Fi at the house was fantastic. I absolutely agree with the other reviews that it is a great place and we do hope to come back again!
